Satire or irony
“If we keep tinkering with numbers, everyone will start gaming things out in ever more economically productive ways… for UnitedHealth Group of course!”
Republished satirical open letter, 'Gem #2: Our New Approve a Claim, Deny a Claim Program!'. Mock program conscripting every in-network physician as a claims reviewer with incentives to deny colleagues' requests; the author says the incentives would make everyone game the system for UnitedHealth Group's benefit. He adds that the current unpaid fight against denials 'is not actually more crazy'.
Marked or evident satire, hyperbole or irony.
