I may travel from San Diego to DC for any future dental needs. They are extremely knowledgeable and patient with the work they do. They only seen SeaSide Adult patients. Go figure. I never heard of this one and I have my experience with billing.
Dr's are greedy and want, want, want monies daily. IPA's are not good. Pay for a Dr that truly diagnosis you and truly cares. Pay what you can afford not what dr's are overcharging and billing depts are falsely lying to you about what you are resp for.
This is an HMO Advantage plan, which makes the entire process very simple. Most doctors are in the directory. There are no claims to be submitted. Referrals are necessary, but they are processed quickly, and can be processed even faster in case of an emergency. Vision and dental plans are automatically included.
I recently tried to cancel my health insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield. As I am writing this, it was 3 months ago when I sent them the necessary paperwork to cancel my insurance. Not only did they not cancel my insurance, they continue to bill me and claim that I owe them money, when I do not.
They have made it as humanly difficult as possible to cancel an insurance policy, and even then once you know how to, you have to fax them the necessary paperwork -- and only fax or mail. Despite doing both of these things, one cannot rest assured that they actually received it as in my case, despite faxing them the necessary forms twice, and receiving confirmation that the fax went through to the right number, they have not cancelled my insurance policy.
I am currently seeking what recourse I have with the Maryland Insurance Administration. I just wanted my health insurance cancelled. I am an honest, stand up citizen, and I always pay my bills. I have never been late on any payment, on anything, in my entire lifetime. That all changed with Blue Cross Blue Shield. They are worse than a scam, because most scammers aren't in the pockets of the government and don't have the means to hire a thousand attorneys to stand on the front lines.
I would be VERY cautious of getting health insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield, unless it is paid for via public funding, which then you can't possibly get it for any cheaper.
That is the only benefit they serve. Didn't pay another claim for preventative service. I've had to pay out of pocket twice as they claim the Dr didn't code it right. They are just ripping off customers I would not recommend them and will file a complaint with the organization that I work. What a lousy experience for a hard working, healthy, and paying customer. In April I called CareFirst more than once, in total more than 4 times to ask the same question with different representative.
All told me the same answer. I asked if my insurance cover psychologist visits and they told me only in-network once. I also asked them if there is a max.
I can visit my psychologist as often as I like. After several weeks of search I found a few that is not too far from me and they are in network. I am the type that don't trust just one person giving me information so I called numerous time asking the same question.
Only recently I found out that CareFirst refuse to pay because they stated that I am not cover I wouldn't have seen one if it isn't cover They give out wrong information consistently more than 3 times by all different representatives Now I am stuck with a super huge bill??? This sound like I am not the first person they done this to. After reading some of their reviews, other insured say the same thing However, CareFirst denied payment for a urgent care visit.
I contacted a health insurance advocate that stated I was indeed covered and they tried for 3 months to get a payment from CareFirst. However, CareFirst continued to deny payment. The stated reason was that they only cover urgent care from a doctor's office which was never stated in their website or insurance agreement.
I need regular blood draws once per month to check my medicine levels. If the levels are too low or too high, I will die. BCBS has refused to cover any blood draws because I have an out-of-state specialist who writes the order, even though I get the blood drawn and processed by a lab that is in network.
Who writes the order has NO bearing on the blood draw cost, but BCBS is using it as an excuse to not cover regular blood labs. My doctor has reached out over a dozen times to submit prior authorizations but BCBS continues to deny them without explanation, even though they have accepted them before.
BCBS does not care about customers with high needs; the insurance company is better off if I die. That is very clear. Dealing with CareFirst insurance has been incredibly frustrating. I used their email service to ask how to cancel my plan because I was moving out of the country. It took 8 days for a response. Before their email response, I called and was told I need to mail or fax the cancellation form.
No problem. I filled out the form and sent it in. Now overseas, I have called and emailed several times to follow up on the cancellation form. They don't know where it is. The only help they can give me is to give me instructions on how to send the cancellation form. Thanks, Carefirst! My experience is never email them. It takes days to get a response. I emailed them again asking if they received my cancellation form only to receive another email telling me how to cancel.
I'm not entirely sure anyone even reads those emails. I sent another emailing expressing that and finally got a response that in fact they do not have my form and instructions on how to fill out the form I already sent a month previous. They're really good at providing cancellation instructions. That's why they get 1 star. If you need to cancel your plan, by god, find yourself a fax machine because mailing it is apparently ineffective.
It takes 10 business days for them to even tell you if they have received your letter. Make sure when you send in the cancellation form that you also add your proof of new coverage. The woman I spoke to on the phone said that may be the reason that my form was not processed.
But who really knows? It's a pretty archaic system. I have been taking care of my mom since these past 3 years, my mom 67 had care1st for about over 5 years. They want to charge her more money but wait here's the thing.
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer 2 years ago and Care1st couldn't cover the cancer dr that my mom was seeing in the hospital so my mom ask the dr if they can find her one, we went and the people said "you're not in our database" and they don't even know who or why they told my mom she was approved.
We get home and call the insurance, I'm on hold for an hour. She hangs up and doesn't even think to call back! I call again and then my mom gets schedule for a blood test so I take my mom for her blood test and we call to let them know she took her blood test. That way they can schedule the cancer dr. Well guess what, the other people were confused asking who told us to come, who did we speak to etc. So we call again! They finally get back to us 6 months later and say my mom needs to do another blood test because it's been a while and finally tomorrow we are going to see the cancer dr but I'm not sure because they might say the same thing.
This is not right. Like please don't put your family in this. I'm only 24 and I have to watch my mom die because we can't get help. My family had a medical policy with Care First last year, which was cancelled in December. We signed up for a new policy for this year. Care first nonetheless billed my credit card for for the monthly premium. After speaking with five customer representatives, I cannot get the overcharge that was billed to my credit card, and I am still billed for the canceled account.
So, even though we switched to a new Policy with Care First, they illegally bill us for both policies. We do not intend to use this company again. Based on my experience, it is either engaged in fraud or is simply grossly negligent. My daughter is under 19 and she is supposed to be covered under her medical policy for dental.
I have only every had 1 claim done correctly. CareFirst dropped her from coverage and no one could explain why. I finally was able to get her back under dental but since then the problem is I have to send the claim forms via certified mail costing me more money to some PO box which then takes them over six months to do anything with. By then I have already been back for the next 6mth check up.
Why does it take so long to process a claim? Why have health insurance if you have to pay the premium and pay the total doctor bill every time you might have to go to the doctor. Obamacare has done nothing but raise the cost of premiums for everyone and the out of pocket. I see why people take the tax penalty. Guess it is time to time to find another job just so I can pay that or get a lower premium and come up with dollars every time my child gets sick and I have to take her to the doctor.
Rip off artists All insurance companies. The CareFirst insurance was going to cancel my insurance because I was past due for only 0. I am very upset and depressed. How can a insurance do this to people that is so sad? No wonder people commit suicide because of the health insurance.
Please do something about. Where can I sent a copy of the letter that CareFirst insurance send me? I want consumer report to take this matter seriously.
Thank you. My elderly mother was served a civil action by Carefirst. Due to a fall resulting in a fractured spine compounded by dementia it took several months to find out what insurance mother has. By the time we found out from her local pharmacy a massive bill accumulated and payment was to have been made to settle the debt. Looks like only a part of the bill was settled since Carefirst would not cover her pharmacy expenses from the onset of the accident.
Was told they have a policy of only going back a limited time to honor back claims. Carefirst does not communicate, takes little notice of the difficulty in trying to manage an aging parent's affairs during a confusing and delicate time and it's time the regulators put them out of business.
I have no claim number to reference only a docket number from the civil action against my Mother. In my experience, CareFirst is not in the Health Care business. They are in the business of collecting premiums. I can't express the amount of ignorance the call center has. Do they know how to listen? And they speak to me like I'm an animal. Not only were they rude they hung up on me twice while being on hold for longer than forty-five minutes!
These people need to get it together! I can't even get a complaint taken care of because no one cares. Some management they have! I'll call every day if I have to get something taken care of. They need to learn some manners. This was before it was OTC.
Never had a call returned. Why should I have a caseworker? Do I now have to apply for welfare, to get a caseworker, to quit CareFirst? This HMO is deceptive. They do not have providers for covered conditions. If they require you to use a provider in network and they do not have a provider for a covered condition this means that the medical condition is effectively not covered.
I live in the Washington DC metro area. When looking for a specialist they have NO providers in a 30 mile radius. If they do not have providers in the Nation's Capital I am sure this is an issue elsewhere as well. There is no excuse for them to not have several choices for providers in every single category of their coverage in a densely populated urban area like this. They should be required to publish every specialist or area that they do not have providers for because there is no provision to go out of network.
If a plan has no out of network options, then it cannot claim to provide coverage for items that it does not have an in network provider for.
As a result, you may still be receiving a monthly bill, even though you have not been seen by your orthodontist due to the COVID public health crisis. If you are experiencing difficulties making these payment plan payments or are concerned about owing a large payment once you can begin office visits again, CareFirst encourages you to contact your orthodontist and ask about payment options.
The total amount you owe should not change, despite delays in check-in visits during the COVID public health crisis. Skip Navigation. Login Register. Have questions about health insurance?
