I must chime in on this. I have UHC insurance, and they are awesome for patients! My surgery cost me a total of $100. But last week I got my EOB from them for my Febuary surgery that Dr. Spivak performed. I was shocked to see that he was only paid $1065 out of $12,000 billed. The hospital was paid $6900 for $35,500 billed. I realize they have contractual agreements with UHC, but a doctor only getting $1065 for surgery seems very low to me. I don't blame Dr. Spivak for dropping them.
