BlueCross BlueShield

I received the coverage I needed while I was on bcbs. I never really had an issue.

BlueCross BlueShield has been a blessing for our family. They are a solid health insurance provider with a high regard for service. They have always been good to deal with for claims, service, or information. They are highly recommended as a top tier health insurance provider.

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.

Good insurance company. Never fails to pay for my medical needs. The employees are very helpful.

Been with Blue Cross with my employer for over 10 yrs. Never had an issue with coverage. My children’s deliveries along with minor surgeries were covered with no issues.

There is so much red tape involved in accessing my benefits, it's easier to pay cash out of pocket than deal with these crooks. They won't send a bill, statement of benefits or ID card until they receive the first payment. So basically you'll pay for the first month, but still not have access to your benefits. Here is the phone call I had w a BS/BC rep just now. "Me: Hi, I haven't received a bill or an ID card or description of my benefits and my insurance is being denied by doctors I need to see." BS: "Well we can't send you a bill until we receive your first payment." Stupid me, I send them $540 a month and still can not use my medical insurance...what exactly am I paying for???? Grrrr

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.

It seems to be really good, I don’t pay for it but it saves us a ton of money and is relatively inexpensive!

I have a medigap policy with Blue Cross. They are very good at paying claims and I have a lot of them. Sometimes they ar a little difficult to get a hold of but I rarely have to contact them which is a good thing!

Readily accepted by variety of physicians in my area; premiums have increased to the point that my former employed recimmends Aetna as well as Blue Cross Blue shield

terrible csutomer servive and never can find a in network provider

Need to improve on their test approvals timetable and not immediately reject a request.

bad claim processing, people do not know their jobs, and are rude!

I have had several problems with them and cover my appointments.

I called them to see my coverage on a few things. They were very friendly and very helpful. Helped me out tremendously

Excellent experience. Everything I needed I just visited their office in Little Rock and talk to our agent who was great and helped in any inquiry

RUN do not purchase BCBS . Use to be one of the best and is now one of the worst. They hire "vendors " 3rd party companies to micromanage how you can use your benefits. It should be illegal what their are doing especially joining with ASH network which is a joke.

I have had this coverage for the last 6 years and have had all services covered and help in securing assistance.

They help to cover my expensive macular degeneration eye shots

I was told that because im HMO, if i go on vacation they wont pay any medical unless life threatening. My son had blood in urine which scared him while on vacation and his claim was denied at urgent care because it wasnt life threatening

BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR YEARS GREAT COVERAGE LOW CO PAY INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMER SERVICE HAPPY WITH IT

I have few health issues I am lucky to have this health insurance great coverage little out of pocket

Have used this for several years. The plan book is easy to read and know what is expected to be paid so there are no unpleasant surprises

The worse ever! I have never been so mistreated by a company in my life. Their error cost me 3 weeks of having medical insurance, and I still had to pay for the full month of coverage so I did not lose coverage. I spent over 6 hours with them on the phone fixing their error... time toilet! Integrity is just a word. If they were a retail store they would be out of business.

Wish we were still with them, tho they gotten pretty expensive.. But they paid EVERYTHING for my son's knew surgery and PT. there was no limit on appts he needed.. My hysterectomy , I think cost me $200 to $300. PERIOD!! They took care of us

We have had BCBS for four years. My husband is a UPS employee with a “Cadillac” top of the line plan, and it sucks!! They nickel and dime you for everything. Pray that you don’t need an ambulance or anything out of network. They say it’s covered at whatever the reasonable going rate is for the area, but it’s not. They’ll only pay about half of what your billed, even if every ambulance provider in your area charges the same price or more. Well visits are supposed to be covered at 100%, but again, they NEVER are. Expect a bill for some of it. Crooked company. I wish UPS would go back to Atnea.

Most hospitals and doctors accept this insurance which is not always easy to find. The rates are comparable to most policies. Finding test results online make it easy and unnecessary to make another appointment.

BlueCross is the insurance company I have used my whole life before and since I've been employed. They're definitely trust worthy and have decent rates for educators! Family plans are expensive, but luckily my wife and I have our own insurance through our separate work places.

I am a state employee and we use Blue Cross Blue Shield. Every claim I've had has been handled quickly and professionally. I would strongly recommend them.

I have never been turned down for my insurance. I have always had a small copay and that was it. I am thankful that I have such a reliable insurance company because I almost never have to worry if it will be accepted.

Best insurance company to have! They have helped me so much when I’ve needed it and are currently covering all kinds of things for my pregnancy. I would recommend them to anybody!

We’ve had BCBS federal for many many years and the coverage and incentives are the best around.

Costs go up and coverage goes down every year. When my husband had an accident years ago I had to fight with BCBS to get the necessary services covered.

Pretty good coverage and customertomer service. Overall happy with company, but some fees and coverages are not as good to help the individual as they could be.

The insurance is really good (10 years). However, if you are looking for customer service, you will always be frustrated. After waiting on hold for 1 hour plus, I was transferred to wait again. Only to receive another phone number to contact for my answer.

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 my husband was out of work we were still able to get great insurance at a great price to put our minds at ease until work was found again.

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.

My husband and I have this now, and I'm grateful we do. Our plan is perfect for us, and BCBS is a wonderful organization to work with when it comes to our health.

Not my favorite health insurance. They were better towards the end but earlier they had issues calculating my yearly total and not sure it was all their fault. I wish more people would accept their fees.

Very poor customer service and lack of transparency. Representatives are not versed thoroughly in company policies. I received conflicting information after speaking to three different representatives all in the same day. After conferencing in with the Healthcare Marketplace and Blue Cross twice and being promised a specific dollar amount premium considering our tax credit. Blue Cross continued to bill us for a much higher premium ($88 more). I continued to call them for several weeks to try to understand why this was the case. However, they continued to insist we had not paid our previous balances in full and therefore had incurred a balance of $272. After being on the phone with them for an hour (each time, over the course of different dates) they were still unable to explain from which dates we owed them a balance. Especially since I had payment information proving we had paid the premium we had been billed for in full for each of those months. Very disappointed with the lack of thoroughness and being put in the position to be forced to justify we were up to date on all of our previous bills. Such an expensive and large company should keep better billing records. This case is still pending and we have yet to receive a resolution. Needless to say I do not recommend this company!

My insurance for quite some years now. Great service and my copay has always been $25.

Had Blue Cross/Blue Shield for a number of years while living in Idaho. Provider network and customer service were both pretty good.

I have never had any issues with this company. They are decently priced and cover a multitude of tests and procedures that my family has needed, without hassle. They are also very cooperative with my son's doctors when a peer-to-peer review is necessary.

Great options to choose from and easy to work with to find doctors for our family.

The company I worked for used BCBS as the plan administrator. The company was self insured. Far too many times claims were denied by BCBS that were allowed by the previous administrators. Example: My doctor and I read the report after the peer-to-peer was denied (final step of appeal) and couldn't believe what we read. BCBS found a doctor in their BCBS Florida network to write that a RFA would be unsuccessful if the back was fused at any location. My wife's back is fused L4-S1 and the RFA was at the T5-7 area. We worked a payment with the doctor, but considering the RFA was so successful my wife stopped her Oxys, it was worth it. Now that we're Medicare, which covers RFAs, we will never use BCBS for a Medigap policy. RFA, Radio Frequency Ablation, is a procedure where a probe inserted in the spine zaps a nerve to "numb" it, lasts about 18-months. Doctor claims are around $2200, of which insurance allows about $800. Maybe if insurance companies paid for procedures like this fewer people would be on pain pills.

They are literally the worst company that you can have as your insurance provider. It's the most expensive with the worst service. I get snarky responses from everyone I speak to at BCBS. My policy is nearly $500 a month and hasn't covered anything at all. I had a painful bleeding lesion on my head and had to have it cut off, NOT COVERED! Every time I go in, nothing is covered by insurance. It's a total scam. When I have called in for help with my policy, the just tell me to read it myself. What a horrible experience and a huge waste of money. Pick a different company!

They try to get out off paying claims! They try to over rule your Doctor by requiring pre approval for needed medication or forcing you to take sub par med and failing two cheaper meds before allowing the meds your doctor recommends because the are needed or work better..

Have Blue Cross for 20 years now. Premiums are reasonable and my doctors are in the plan.

Terrible experiences! BlueCross will not pay our dr. for their portion after Medicare. We have contacted them over and over again and get nothing but excuses or even "I don't know why we didn't pay that" but still would not pay it. We have shown them proof of our jumping through the hoops to get them to pay but they still stall and don't pay. I have paid the dr. myself many times because they keep stalling and it is not fair to my doctor. The plan I have, I am not suppose to pay any co pay. My premium to BlueCross are is paid every month on time and are high. I am dropping BlueCross.
