We’ve had this insurance company for an entire year. Because were a small business owners we pay quite a bit per month. It was one of the better costing insurances for our needs. We did have a really high deductible and this year it raised another $500 so that sucks. But considering I had a High risk pregnancy last year and babies Born more than nine weeks early we definitely got the better end of the deal with insurance. There are a few things that I felt like should’ve been covered that they kind of squeaked by and didn’t pay for. There’s a few prescriptions that I felt like when the doctor prescribes them they should pay for. But at the end we went back with them again This next year

When I was first married my husband and I lived back east and our insurance was BlueCross BlueShield. We were well taken care of especially after our first birth of our son at Humana Hospital. We had some complications and the representative we worked with was so helpful in getting all of our benefits and all of the customer service reps were awesome!

We have used Blue Cross for the past 10 years. They send out these handy statements periodically that let you know exactly the amounts they have covered on doctor visits and how close we are to meeting deductible. They have been excellent with their customer service whenever I needed to call them about coverage. Most doctors and pharmacies accept their coverage. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

BlueCross BlueShield has been my insurance in the past and I think that their number one selling point is quality of service and care. They also have a plan that doesn't have a lot of out of pocket expense as most of the care is included in the plans. They have great customer service and the professionals that I worked with were very comprehensive in their exams and treatment.

I have had BlueCross BlueShield insurance since I was a small child living in Lexington Kentucky. I now live in Utah and carry the insurance. The benefits include discounts for things like Lasik, last minute travel club, hotels and resorts, fitness products, gym memberships and much more. I have enjoyed the stability of this insurance all my life and will recommend it highly.

We no longer have BlueCross and BlueShield but while we did I LOVED what they covered... After having 3 of my babies and having BlueCross BlueShield be our primary insurance we had awesome coverage and when I got the bill it wasn't even half what I thought it would be... Always great customer service treating me with respect. Can not say enough good things about BlueCross BlueShield

I have dealt with a lot of health insurance companies, but BlueCross Blueshield has always given exceptional service. I had another company for a time and had to check on every bill because the coding and billing was incorrect, while BlueCross Blueshield didn't get it wrong even one time! And if I ever had questions about what providers were participating, or anything else, they were always to kind and helpful. It was such a breath of fresh air.

My daughter is dying from drug addiction. Put her in rehab, just for them to kick her out in a week saying outpatient should be fine. She's down to less than 80 pounds and was running away constantly. I appealed, they charged me 3000 dollars for the days that I was appealing, kept her one more week and kicked her out. Tried getting her into another place, The BCBS caseworker, Saba told me that one in arkansas was covered. I had her transported from JDC there, just to be called the next day saying that she was denied because she didn't have an arkansas caseworker. Seems Saba doesn't know anything about how this works. Maybe train her better. My child is dying.

I paid a specialist out of pocket after fleeing my abusive marriage. I begged BCBS to update my address but they refused UNTIL I filed a report with the BBB. However, they cut a check for reimbursement and MADE IT OUT TO MY ABUSER. That's right. Victoria K and Christopher S took my money and mailed it to my abuser. I have filed multiple grievances to get the issue resolved but Victoria and Christopher are certain it is my fault they refused to update my address (and admitted that BCBS is so sexist they only mail checks to the husbands). If you are a woman, get your health insurance anywhere else.

Blue cross blue shield is wonderful insurance! They have affordable and fair rates for their plans. They can custom fit a plan for you with a payment you can easily afford. I have used blue cross blue shield for about 4 years and I won't swap to anyone else unless my doctor stops taking it.

I was told by friends and family that this is a good company. It seemed to be true until my wife who is on my plan tried to get a procedure pre-certified and BCBS essentially refused to do it based on nothing as far as I can tell? It was as if their automated system had an issue with some input and BCBS couldn't fix it. The patient help line did all they could but admitted they couldn't fix it and all they could do was refer it to precert which was per them overloaded and inadequate. The Drs office waited on hold for hours and when I tried to contact the precertification line I was on hold for over an hour (twice) before the recording hung up on me. This is service? I eventually got through and the guy at BCBS said that even though the Drs office had done the submission via their system they would have to fax the request as well to a special number. We're still waiting for service and meanwhile my wife is going without critical health care?!? Will BCBS refund my premiums for their lack of service? I'm not holding my breath. I wish I would've stayed with Humana.

BCBS is now a nickel and dime inc. co. This past month I went to the doctor for routine blood tests and I got the surprise of my life this time when the bill came. I was charged $606 from labcorp then BCBS said they gave me a "discount" then the bill was down to $49.50 which was my share, WTF? When I called BCBS the guy tells me they never paid labcorp a dime, so how am I on the hook for this and the provider was in network. Both of these companies are crooks and need to be investigated for this here in MN. I plan to take my complaint on BCBS to the Atty. general of MN. Keith E and we all know who he put in jail last year. After Dec. of this year I will dump BCBS and just use my Medicare with a supplement carrier. BCBS sucks and their people are horrible to deal with always giving you the run around.

I'd rather go to the dentist for a root canal than have to deal with administrative issues with BCBS. I've been trying to add my daughter as a dependent on my existing account for nearly a month. I've spent hours on the phone with "customer service". Each time I call in, I have to start the entire saga over again. They've had me fill out two completely different applications, and can't seem to get her added. First, you can only fax or mail documents to them. Seriously! I have to get in the car, drive down to a fedex store and pay to get them the documents. Or, I could just drop them in the mail. Nearly a month in, and they now show both applications they made me fill out as incomplete. Meanwhile, my daughter doesn't have coverage.

Warning to women out there, I had not experienced this problem until I had BCBS, if are on birth control and lose it, going on a trip and need to refill before you go to take it with you, a patch comes off in the bath and you have to replace it early, are taking it the full month to skip periods, etc, BCBS has a limit on how early you can refill the prescription. You could find yourself without ability to get your prescription for a couple of weeks if you cannot afford it yourself. If this happens on a weekend you are SOL getting a hold of anyone at the company in my experience.

It is not affordable for a single mother as me, with only one salary. The deductible are very expensive. Unfortunately, it is the insurance provide for my company. And I need a health insurance because I have health conditions and I take medications every day. So, I am scare that I can't be able of receive a good treatment without an insurance. I have to recognize that it take some advantage: you have a long list of doctors and specialists with this plan and you don't need authorization of the plan to go with a specialist and to make laboratories or procedures as endoscopy, etc.

Overall they have been a good provider. Some of the things I think they could do a better job. My child had to have an x-ray done and the doctor didn’t have the equipment in their office so we had to go to the hospital and do an outpatient one. And of course they didn’t cover it because of it.

This is the worst insurance me and my husband have ever had. With a high deductible of 10,000 and the only coverage that gets 100% without meeting the deductible is preventative. The reason i'm giving such a bad review is i learned that prenatal care is considered preventative. Blue Cross does not consider prenatal care preventive and will not cover one visit until we meet our $10,000 deductible. This does not include our premiums that my husband and i pay each month. There is no point in having this insurance when they cover nothing but a routine physical. i should just save the premium and put in into a health savings account. Blue Cross Blue Shield is the worst insurance company out there.

I have been with Blue Cross for over 10 years. And I have found that they are average in every way. Their customer service is mediocre. I called to get help finding a breast pump that was covered under insurance, and they were unable to help me and told me to just buy one and then maybe it would be covered. I spent many hours on the phone trying to get an answer before a supervisor finally gave me that response. There are many locations that are out of network for them and it makes it difficult to find a provider. I often get reminders from companies that they have not paid out their portion of the bill and in some cases it has been after months of follow-ups that they payout or send reimbursements.

I have always had a wonderful experience with BCBS Fed, they have always had great customer service, great coverage, and great benefits.

The health insurance that I have received from BCBS is through an employer. Their health coverage covers a great deal more than other insurance companies I have used in the past, they are accepted many places, and somewhat easy to get in touch with should a situation arise. I have had some run-ins where I was charged more than I was supposed to be and it took a while to resolve with BCBS but it did get worked out.

The interaction this insurance has with your local healthcare providers is hard to beat. They'll be in front of each exchange, and provide you with all of the information you could possibly want. Their coverage is fair and wide, so it'd be difficult to find a better insurance carrier.
