We didn't last long with blue cross blue shield. It was hard because the doctors and hospitals close to us we had always used didn't take them. I had to find new pediatrician. When I called customer service a couple times because I was trying to find details on coverage and places to go they kept referring me to my policy. Isn't that what they're there for? to help with that?

Any questions I have about my insurance are always answers very quickly. Everyone on the phone is nice and all the literature Blue cross gives out is helpful. The biggest concern I have with BCBS is a lot of the providers in my area don’t take it.

The coverage we had with BlueCross BlueShield was great. The only difficulty we have had is that they are somewhat slow to pay benefits. We received some bills that were a couple of years old. Super hard if you are on a tight budget.

I called bcbs recently to inquire about how much they would pay for a procedure. The man was patient but not very helpful in that I couldn’t get the answer I needed. I usually have had a good experience with them , however, it was just that one time.

I'm convinced I have the best insurance in the world. Not only is my coverage great, but the online tools are so easy to use. I can easily find out if I'm covered and where my local providers are that are in network.

I had BlueCross BlueShield for a couple of years and thought they did a great job supporting us as we needed to use them. They were responsive and quick to pay. They didn't have as large of a network in my area as I would have liked but we were able to make it work.

We have enjoyed working with BlueCross BlueShield in the past. We did think that the cost to add a family was too much though. I did appreciate the patience the customer service department showed when I would call in and I had a question. They always treated me with dignity and made me feel that my questions were important.

BlueCross BlueShield Has great health insurance. As a college student it gave a lot of my prescriptions for free or really cheap! That’s huge for a college student. That has been the best benefit for me.

If I had to describe my time with BlueCross BlueShield insurance I would say its just alright. The price is fairly high on monthly premiums and the deductible I had was quite high. The best part was the large network of physicians.

My work insurance runs through Blue Cross. Have an HMO plan. I can’t complain too much as my premiums are fully covered through my work but the doctor selection and level of care could be better. Long wait times for referrals on occasion and finding specialty doctors is sometimes limited with selection. Overall fairly happy though with Blue Cross

Blue Cross has been very helpful especially when there has been a problem with an account. I would recommend Blue Cross to anyone looking for a health plan. I do not like when they have canceled a plan for the following year, then I have to find a new plan.

We have been with BlueCross/Blue Shield for many years. They have more than enough participating Dr's and providers and their coverage plans work for us. High deductible plans are the worst. We have never had any real problems with them not paying claims in a timely matter so that is a bonus for us.

we had this insurance through my husband work for 3 years and when my son was diagnosed with cancer we couldn't add him on our insurance because of his new diagnoses. agents were very apologetic and tried everything they could to help us. they went over and beyond. prior to this we had no issue with BCBS. customer service was always a long wait time to speak too but at the end we always got our questions answered. monthly payments was expensive, for a family of 4 we were paying almost $650/family.

Blue Cross Blue Shield is a great insurance company. I really thought they did their best with customer service and I felt my coverage was quite good. It was soooo expensive, but I feel like that's about normal for private health insurance anyway. Overall I would give them a good rating.

We've used Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance for the past 3 years and it's the worst insurance we've ever had. They'll pay your bills......after you've been sent to collections for their lack of response to the medical provider of the past 9 months. You will have to contact their 3rd party provider over EVERY claim to verify that you weren't insured at work, in a car accident or on the premise of another responsible party. The plans offered through my husbands employer all had high deductibles and didn't cover our preferred hospitals or clinics. My husband recently left his place of employment seeking better healthcare services.

This company still provides more options than most. Good options for physician choice. Cost keeps going up, but that is universal. Generally good about responding to customer service inquiries. Sometimes have to wait on the phone a while.

One thing that really stresses people out about insurance is the price and the coverage. My family is the type of family that rarely ever goes to the doctor but having dependable coverage that most doctors accept is great to have. Blue Cross Blue Shield has been our insurance because of work but I’m thankful to have it.

They occasionally are a hassle for us and don't cover things that we think they should. We have had to write a few letter to them to try to get them to cover different medicines and treatment, but other than that they have been pretty good at taking care of us.

This company is a shame. They recently began denying medically necessary care and requiring g prior authorization to their costumers for physical therapy and chiropractic services. Stay far away from these crooks. Each year they raise premiums and discover new ways to deny services to disrupt the doctor patient relationships.

They reported a mother of 3 to law enforcement because they didn't like what she said to them over the phone. Look it up in the news. It was not even a threat. It was just her opinion. What a completely corrupt, evil organization.

My mom got her healthcare plan through her employer with BCBS. She never asked for help before with additional services until recently. When she asked for help with her transportation to dr appointment, BCBS kept giving her a run around nothing got done. BCBS can do the talk all day long with its advocates, 27/4 medical helpline, and all that craps, but when the customer needs it the most, BCBS is the garbage. I dont write negative feedback that often but BCBS is nothing but a loudmouth.

Ugh. The worst! I have had BCBS for my entire life, I’ve worked at a doctors office and dealt with other companies. Blue cross is notorious for u detonation h doctors and refusing to pay based on a whim. They are impossible to get on the phone and if you do happen to find someone who is mildly helpful it is impossible to call them direct or request them the next time you call. Out of network they do not pay providers directly, the patient had to pay up front and they make you wait several months to get reimbursed, if you’re lucky.

I'm a 2 time breast cancer survivor, and I need to have a bi-annual breast MRI. BCBS has always denied to cover this test. My monthly premium is 570.00 per month and 6500.00 deductible. My Dr. has appealed it and the test has continued to be denied. Patients should be able to get the care required to stay on top of a health care issues without a fight.

Highmark Blue Shield Medicare Advantage did not pay for Dental nor Vision. I had to pay out of pocket for an Ultrasound. I also went to pick up a medication they had authorized the cost was only $779.70. I only receive $24,000 per month from SSA like I don’t have other bills to pay. Highmark Blue Shield of New York does not care about us Senior Citizens who have worked in the medical field for 48+ years. I hope the younger generation gets their recognition like us Senior Citizens

Their technical support department is the worst. They must be in some other country you have to spend so much time trying to make them understand anything and they in turn are very hard to understand. They don't seem to get anything you tell them and you have to keep saying it over and over many times till it sinks in their head why you are calling them. They tend to ramble on and make statements that just make no sense. After 45 minutes of this and asking for a supervisor, I got no supervisor, just a promise from this barely English speaking moron they hired that it would be fixed.

I continuously receive bills for procedures suppose to be covered by insurance. I called company just to get ignored. I also noticed that doctors like to inflate charges such as 615.00 to look at medical info for 15 minutes and know one even questions charges. The hospitals and doctors should be investigated for all of the unreasonable charges that are passed on to consumers.

Horrible. I just started with them and my doctor recommended two medications Mounjaro and Ozempic for pre-diabetes. They denied both; however, when I called said when I go full-blown diabetic they will cover the medication. Who does that? I will tell you who...big pharmaceutical companies and physicians sitting on these committees denying medicine to help customers prior to getting sick. This is an atrocity and absurd. I wish I could cancel my insurance immediately. And I will find out if I can. Horrific.

Medically necessary tests are denied frequently as are necessary functional procedures such as Botox for migraines due to the company not fairly or justly reimbursing providers for services. I previously had Aetna through my employer and it covered nearly everything needed.

Very high deductibles with limited covered services, but it seems to be mostly in line with insurance companies right now. It would be great if they could give perks to stand out.
