Optum Rx/United Healthcare rip-off, scam, taken advantage of, exploited Eden Prairie MN
I am a United Healthcare policy holder through my employer and Optum Rx is the contracted mail order pharmacy provider. Just by chance I pulled up the Rx claims I have this year and noticed that I was paying much more—up to 10 times more—if I filled my prescriptions through Optum Rx than if I used a local pharmacy. My example is one of my maintenance medications levothyroxine. For a 90 day supply Optum Rx charged me $42.67. I could have got this at multiple local pharmacies for $12-45 for the same 90 day supply. I could have got a 10 month supply for less than what I was charged by Optum Rx.
I have written United Healthcare and Optum Rx, a news agency, 2 newspapers and my employer. Greed is why health care cost so much in America.
