The State of Nebraska dropped BCBS for its employees and will be going with United Healthcare starting either June or July. State employees in North Platte, Lexington, etc (from all departments) have been contacting the Human Resources Department with the state and have been sending letters to Representatives and Senators. None of the employees concerns that the doctor’s wont accept United Healthcare are being listened to. Another case of Nebraskans who live in Omaha and Lincoln dont care about the rest of us in the rest of the state. If you do some digging, you’ll find tons more. Tons. There are like 3 doctors in North Platte that will take the insurance and employees are asking their doctors to accept United Healthcare and the doctors are saying No. I know for a fact there are no OB/GYN’s, No Pediatricians, No Podiatrists, No Dermatologists, No ENT’s, and I’m sure there’s more. One of the doctor’s listed as active and accepting UH is not even alive anymore. State employees are getting screwed in Central / West Nebraska and there’s nothing we can do but take it apparently.
