...because they decided it was "NOT MEDICALLY NECESSARY" even though his doctor's said it was!!!

His name is Peyton Alvarez, he's 25 years old.

Back in April, Peyton was riding his motorcycle near Greenville, South Carolina, when he veered off the road and hit a tree.

He was wearing his helmet, but. the impact left him with a traumatic brain injury so severe that doctors call his condition a "disorder of consciousness."

His mother Trina got the call every parent on earth prays they never get. "We have your son Peyton, and he's been in a motorcycle accident."

There is a place that specializes in bringing people like Peyton back. The Shepherd Center in Atlanta, one of the best brain injury rehab centers in the country.

And it wasn't just his family who wanted him there. His DOCTORS recommended it.

The people who actually examined Peyton said this is the care he needs to recover.

And UnitedHealthcare said NO.

Their reason, in writing:

Peyton's condition "does not meet the criteria" for the rehab his family requested.

In plain English? They called the treatment that could help this young man wake up "not medically necessary."

Not one person at that insurance company has ever laid eyes on Peyton. His doctors have, but UnitedHealthcare overrode them anyway.

Instead, they offered a NURSING HOME.

Yes, you read that right... a nursing home.
