Health care company sends woman over 500 letters in 5 days

[left-of-center2012]

A Maine woman says she received more than 500 letters from UnitedHealthcare in five days. The letters were sent to Stephanie Lay's 19-year-old son Bryce in Windham, but were addressed to Maine's Department of Health and Human Services - in Cincinnati, Ohio.

WCSH-TV reports most of the letters said the company was denying a payment of $54. Some say $0. The claims go back to 2016. Lay began receiving the letters Thursday.

Lay first thought it was a joke. She says she's spent countless hours trying to figure out how this happened. A spokeswoman for UnitedHealthcare says the company is looking into the issue.

Lay says she was especially amused by a line written at the bottom of every single one of the letters that says, "Go Paperless!"

1. And every policy holder pays for these tactics.

And the overhead incurred by employing people to do this.
