New York dad shares a UnitedHealthcare letter addressed directly to his newborn daughter denying coverage for her NICU stay

A New York father posted a piece of mail from UnitedHealthcare online that has left plenty of people frustrated and confused. The insurance company apparently sent a formal letter denying coverage for a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) stay. The letter was addressed directly to one of the couple’s newborn twin daughters “Baby Girl Twin A,” rather than to her parents.

The story came to light after comedian Blake Wexler shared the experience, posting a video on his TikTok account and a separate post on his Instagram. As found by The Nerd Stash, Wexler pointed out how strange it is for a large insurance provider to send a denial letter to a baby who had only just been born and was receiving care in the NICU.
