Several hospitals in the Sunshine State, including six in Central Florida, are suing UnitedHealthcare for underpaying for emergency services provided. The suit alleges that the healthcare company failed to pay the amount required by Florida law for the services the hospitals offered. "United has unilaterally and consistently decided to underpay the Hospitals these claims at only a fraction of the billed charges, at amounts well below the level of payment required by Florida statute," according to the lawsuit.
