Positive Feedback (80)
Neutral/Negative Feedback (10)
"I didn't like the HR"
"I don't have much to say about this company because I've never needed to contact them yet."
"I haven't had any problems"
"It's an okay company. All health insurance is overpriced but this one had the lowest of all"
"I get my insurance through the marketplace because it is all I can afford. It is also the only insurance company that my state offers through the marketplace. It still leaves me with huge bills but I make payments as I can."
"Nothing to complain about"
"The price of premiums is skyrocketing. I wish we had more options."
"Their website is essentially useless with inaccurate and incomplete information regarding both in-network and out-of-network providers. No live person on the phone is able to provide any cost information, including estimates. Using the personalized webpage is as useless since cost information is also inaccurate, incomplete and if available at all it is only an estimate and a bad one at that. The premium costs are insane and the only way this insurer is interested in their customers is finding ways to shove wellness programs down their throats in the hope that paying customers will not have to use their insurance in the first place. This insurer is short-sighted about the reality that nearly every single person will enter the healthcare system at some point in their life regardless of how many wellness programs the insurer wants to promote. Moreover, this insurer has remained essentially slient during both the past and current administrations with no guidance or assistance to their subscribers regarding the benefits and disadvantages of both the Affordable Care Act and all replacement and repeal proposals. This insurer appears to only care about making their profits and how much increase to charge their subscribers each and every year."
"Company has an exceptional claim service and unique covers."
"The cost of this insurance is way too high"
