Your Insurance Company and the University Disability Consortium (UDC): A Match Made In Hell
Posted on Jul 23, 2009
Another case involving University Disability Consortium (UDC) and their shady relationship with insurance companies. Insurance companies hire UDC to perform IMEs. Now, UDC advertises that using them for IMEs will probably result in "improved denial and closure rates at a reduced cost." So they basically advertise that if you hire them they will deny more claims to save you money. It's no wonder their relationship has been scrutinized and criticized so much.
This relationship is alluded to by the judge and is one of the main reasons that the opinion of Dr. Brian Mercer, a UDC doctor, was ignored as inherently bias. Dr. Mercer supported his denial opinion with erroneous information that never even approached the matters at hand. I guess one of UDC's go to strategies is to make things up when they can't spin the evidence another way. Maybe that's why they're able to advertise increased denial rates with such confidence. You can read the entire opinion on UDC's bias and Dr. Mercer's erroneous medical opinions here .
