The Dallas Morning News reported last week that United Healthcare, the group's managed care offering, will give its network of physicians the power to make the final decisions on what care is necessary for their patients. United covers 14.5 million people nationwide. She went on to say that the plan approves 99 percent of these requests. The news made headlines across the nation.
