I have been dealing with these IDIOTS for way too long. However, they know they are the only game in town.

Problem #1: They allege an "80-20 Rule" which DOES NOT EXIST IN ANY LAW, REGULATION, etc. I had this confirmed by "Jocelyn" after filing a formal complaint with United Healthcare. So this means they are arbitrarily MANDATING nothing more than an incompetent ONE SIZE FITS ALL rule regarding our healthcare.....this is ILLEGAL. PROBLEM #2: By MANDATING THIS RULE OF THEIRS TO EVERYONE THEY ARE PRACTICING MEDICINE WITHOUT A LICENSE.......THIS IS ILLEGAL!!

Problem #3: The pharmacists at Optum RX think they are God and they seem to think that there is NO PROBLEM with REFUSING TO FILL VALID PRESCRIPTIONS written by LEGAL DOCTORS......THUS THEY ARE PRACTICING MEDICINE W/OUT A LICENSE......THAT'S ILLEGAL. My NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT A VERY WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY IN SW FL AND SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO FILING A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST OPTUM R IDIOTS (as I refer to them these days). In addition to the above, I do believe they are also in VIOLATION OF HIPPA as well.

I WANT THE DEA, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND UNQUALIFIED PHARMACISTS OUT OF MY HEALTH CARE DECISIONS MADE BETWEEN MY LEGALLY AUTHORIZED DOCTOR AND MYSELF. In this case, FOUR IS A CROWD.....WATCH OUT OPTUM RX AND GET YOUR CHECKBOOK OUT B/C IT'S COMING VERY SOON.

Reason of review: Unauthorized practice of medicine by pharmacists.

Monetary Loss: $100000.

Preferred solution: CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST OPTUMRX.

OptumRx Cons: Violating my doctor patient rights, Illegal activities.

Location: Cape Coral, Florida

I am a member of Alaskacare health system, which is funded for retirees by the state of Alaska, OptumRX has refused to medication for my heart and prostate problems. I also have Aetna and they have denied me essential medical treatment.

I have filed criminal evidence with 4 federal agencies. It should be noted that Mt Renfro, CEO of Optum when he was appointed CEO cashed in $5,000,000 in United Healthcare stock, then the stock lost 18%. Insider trading? I reported him to the SEC.

OptumRX and the state of Alaska signed contracts (as did Aetna) that do not provide complete coverage. This violates the Alaska Constitution, multi Alaska law and federal laws.

I'm waiting for the federal investigations to start as there will be people going to jail. Also see: Cunningham v Aetna and Gillian Washington v Aetna.

I agree that Optum has entirely too much power, that decision-making is predicated on generating revenue for them and that customer service is poor. I also know that our government has absolutely NO interest in intervening on consumer's behalf and that the government agencies who are supposed to 'manage' these areas are now toothless or worse.

I would be happy to be apart of any class action against Optum. However, the most important thing right now is that everyone VOTES in November. We are in this state (a failing health care system) because big money/corporations/uber rich have mandated it.

Furthermore, the GOP has no interest in any government regulations so companies like United Health Care can do pretty much as they damn please and are. Turn your complaints into votes, folks.

Guest

I agree! Iโ€™m fed up with them.

They donโ€™t have a phone number to billing Dept and if you call customer service tells you no one talks to accounting ! What in blazes is going on at BriovaRx!!

Guest

Count me in on the lawsuit, i'm tired of dealing with these idiots.

Guest

OPTUMRX - LIARS!

Guest

THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN! I CANNOT BELIEVE AARP ENDORSES UNITED HEALTHCARE!

I AM CALLING MEDICARE TO COMPLAIN. THEY ARE FROM THE ANTICHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest

I have a disease very much like Als known as PLS it is a neruologigal disorder which slowly kills off muscles and nerves.

One of the medications called Drobinal has been denied by these jerks over and over again the weird part is they filled it in June then then refused it ever since,

Optum RX & the insurance companies that refer them should be put out of business!

Guest

I am in for whoever is willing to file a lawsuit against these clowns. On top of denying medications, there are also forcing us to get medications through them, which obviously they don't deliver on time.

Me too; this is also the fault of States which contracted with Optum Rx; our State Benefits Programs should have a special open enrollment period to allow Medicare Part D recipients to opt out and select a private plan and demand return of premiums paid for Part D, A monopoly and anti-trust issue, financial misdealings, fraudulent advertising, lies from customer care and yes, practicing medicine without a license, age discrimination are all viable allegations.

Guest

I know what it is like to be shafted by OptumRX. They are nothing but a bunch of parasitic leeches that suck in the money and give nothing in return.

When it comes to prior authorization, don't expect any compassion from them at all. They denied me prior authorization for a medication that I had been using for 18 years. Forget about being allowed to talk to someone with real decision making powers (their customer service sucks). You will be stonewalled.

They have no interest in resolving the issue. All they want to do is deny your prior authorization request so that they can pocket the money.

PBMs like OptumRX are truly a law unto themselves. We would do just fine if they were to collapse and go away.

Guest

I agree. They are horrible!

Guest

I'm having the same issues as everyone else! Optum rx is dirty!

They are thieves and liars!!! I would gladly be in on this class action lawsuit!

Guest

illegally unauthorized charges against my credit cards now they're taking too long to fill my prescriptions

Guest

We need to form lawsuit, this has gone on too far!!! I have been waiting 7 days for my medicine (after a major painful surgery) after if was approved just a few weeks before I was to fill it.

Then on the day it was due, it was denied saying it needs a prior approval. Spare the long story, it was denied, now I have to wait another 72 hours on the appeal because my doctor did not put it was "URGENT" on the second prior authorization.I was told to pay out of pocket if my doctor will write for the old script that Optum will no longer in their formulary.

Why are there no regulations on the ripoffs and denials and money paid out of pocket just to survive? They keep charging more and more each month, the out of pocket keeps going up and up, they keep increasing the deductibles and deny basic procedures.

They deny medications and tell the patient to just pay out of pocket?

MAYBE A LAWSUIT WILL BE THE REGULATION NEEDED IF OUR GOVERNMENT WON'T STEP IN AND REGULATE THEM!

Theyโ€™ve done this to us also over a heart RX. I asked what qualifications the people have on the board that makes those decisions. My RX was approved the next day

Guest

This company needs to be put out of business. They attempt to circumvent physician prescription orders. They are not physicians treating consumers and need to mind their own business.
