UnitedHealth Raises Healthcare Concerns on Robocall Rules

UnitedHealth Group (UHG) raised healthcare industry concerns on a June NPRM on giving consumers more choice on the robocalls and robotexts they receive (see 2306080043). “UHG supports the efforts by the FCC to protect consumers from unwanted robocalls and robotexts,” the company said in a filing Monday in docket 02-278: “We agree that consumers have the right to revoke their prior consent and that callers should adopt and maintain reasonable standards to comply with such requests. We ask the FCC to frame its rulemaking in a manner that does not unduly limit or discourage the use of telephone and text contacts in the context of health care.”
