The attached document is not a Minnesota Medicare Beneficiary Update. The attached document is just the umpteenth piece of unsolicited junk mail from UnitedHealthcare.
When the Social Security Administration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or the Minnesota Department of Health, update Medicare information, the updated information is sent directly to beneficiaries. The government agencies do not outsource the task of providing updated information to UnitedHealthcare and the other insurance companies.
Rather than paying for the heaps of misleading junk mail from UnitedHealthcare and the other insurance companies, Medicare recipients should be getting the health care services that their Medicare premiums supposedly cover.
Please make the steady flow of this misleading and fraudulent junk mail, masquerading as official announcements from the government agencies, stop.
Thank you.
My parents receive the same EXACT mailer just with a separate state listed (they both live in different states). To stop these unwanted USPS mailer as well as AARP (United healthcare) - email a removal request to uhg_consumer_affairs@uhg.com. Then you will receive USPS mailers via ECRWSS/ECRWSH (USPS marketing program) - again use the same above email to request removal. Then you may receive them from a local United Healthcare agent - use this link to locate their personal email to request removal - http://myuhcagent.com/. Be sure to attach the mailers image as reference (use your USPS informed delivery image). Then on to the next Medicare related mailer - I have a list of these if anyone is interested - removemyinfo80 gmail
I don't know whether it's fraud, but it's clearly deceptive.
