U.S. Anesthesia Partners has filed lawsuits in Texas and Colorado against UnitedHealthcare, alleging the nation’s largest insurer is “like a boa constrictor squeezing USAP-TX from all sides,” according to the Texas lawsuit.
UnitedHealthcare is driving away referrals from USAP and toward their hand-picked anesthesia providers, said USAP, which seeks $1 million in relief.
