Feedback of Surveyed Policyholders
Our survey asked policyholders to share experiences or give feedback that they would
like to share with others looking to potentially buy from their current insurance company. Here's what they had to say:
Positive Feedback (186)
Neutral/Negative Feedback (71)
"Nothing they are all around good"
"So far no bad experience with them."
"It was a bit hard to get them to help me out when I had a bit of a work accident but it was a minority"
"The only issue I have is not many doctors accept it."
"Their reputation is good but work is not good at least not the help I needed"
"No complaint"
"They are alright, nothing too special."
"The app is very disfunctional. You can enter your zipcode to try and find providers in your area, and then it will tell you none (even though there are in fact 50+). The website is ok but is not easy to navigate but once you locate everything it's easy to get you where you need to go."
"If Ii want to keep my current doctor, I check to see that they're covered by any insurance plans I am considering."
"Because the laws for preventative care keep changing, so does my coverage. I constantly have to remind them that whatever was covered last year as preventative. The answer I usually get back is a copy & paste from the insurance policy that Ive already read through... I wanted some clarity in layman terms."
"They kind of act like they do not feel like working when I call and try to blow me off on the website which is frequently either out of date or not working"
"Complies with the policy agreement"
"I'm not comfortable with the service"
"The sales team doesn't tell all the charges upfront and charge more after sign up."
"This company has hidden charges"
"Website is always down or not functioning properly, have to pay in full until deductible is met, co-pays are high even after deductible is met, forced to use their mail order pharmacy that has terrible customer service and have ended up having to go without medication multiple times because of it"
"Health insurance is super complicated. The insurer has been generally okay but not great - can be a hassle to get them to cover what they should sometimes."
"United Healthcare is an ok healthcare company. I like that they have a low deductible but I feel like they don't cover as much."
"I've had no problems with them so far and they have always been there when I've needed them"
"They don't cover very much"
"I really wish I could get better coverage for the price I pay."
"Ok company but not for me"
"I could do with better prices"
"Customer service reps are unknowledgable and will usually not fulfill requests for things like new insurance cards."
"It is a good feeling to have insurance"
"Well my husband has tried to be with this company and first they took out a lot of money the first time like 800 dollars of his check and they put us in a bind and we still didn't have coverage and than they did it to us again like ok people we have a kid we have to take care of but still haven't gotten it settled. I don't like the company at all they don't make sense. Whwen we try to ask questions they lie and tell us that they will fix it and they don't."
"Not good for new customers, super confusing"
"Is not friendly insurance company."
"We pay twice as much as our old insurance and get less coverage"
"Could have a lower price"
"It's so so. High premium. Little coverage & high deductible. I could come out cheaper without insurance at these rates."
"I hate my insurance, it sucks & would NEVER reccommend it to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"No real experience since my employer switched"
"It was a while ago but I don't recall any bad incident"
"I haven't had to take advantage of my health insurance very much in the past few years but when I did, I had no issues."
"Not all health insurance plans offer a prescription benefit plan in addition to a treatment plan. Even if you have a prescription plan, not all medications are covered. Many prescription plans have formulates that determine how much you pay for different classes or brands of drugs."
"The cost of healthcare is getting higher and higher for less and less coverage"
"Does what I need it to do"
"Slow when processing a claim"
"What is there really to say about health insurance company...nice website is about all I got for ya"
"Lacking and over priced"
"No issues yet"
"Just ok.. they pay"
"Low deductible, but you have to question everything because they won't pay anytthing otherwise."
"Frustrating. I can't blame the insurance company totally. Part of it comes from my husbands' company. Our policy changed and price went up."
"Worst insurance company"
"Best of the best"
"I don't feel any healthcare is a good price now, in the last 5 years it went up from $300 a month to about $1400 and coverage is worse. They need to offer better policies like catastrophic or hospital only plans or I'll be priced out of the market."
"Have had no problems with routine care payments."
"I don't really start until Jan 1, 2017, but so far they seem like total idiots, the clerical staff I mean, just like Kaiser, which scares me."
"Claim process through internet get slow after certain step"
"Look for a company that let's you choose exactly what doctors you want to see."
"Too expensive."
"Good service but the premiums are quite high"
"Healthcare is difficult to navigate but with a lot of research you can stay within the covered services."
"All insurance is hard to understand"
"It has never not covered some medical condition that has occurred between me or my family members on the policy."
"They are a good company but only pay things that medicare covers which is a draw back."
"Provides AARP as well"
"It is fine --health insurance is a must but it is never a great product or price"
"Their premiums are a little high and the don't always cover everything"
"All heavily accented reps is who you can talk to and it sucks for anyone hard of hearing. Noone can answer questions, I get transferred multiple times and lost half the time"
"Fortunately, i have not had major claims. Hope to remain healthy."
"I have never had a problem with a claim."
"Too expensive, not good benefits"
"Policies of this company are not so bad"
"My insurance is okay but I have a high deductible and it does not worth it."

"This company is to safeguard people"
"Websites gives you adequate information"
