BlueCross BlueShield

They are always there and at times gone the extra mile to help with a problem.

I ve had to have discussions with them re tests they would not cover from my medicare annual visit..

Great coverage and fast communication. My out of pocket is much lower now that I'm trying BCBS

REASONABLE PRICES FOR A GOV EMPLOYEES. INFORMATIVE ; GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AMD WEBSITE

Their monthly premium seems fair, they have rewards for preventative activities, Dental coverage and assisting programs.

They are good. Like any other company, trying to talk to an actual person can be difficult

Pretty easy to deal with, not as many hoops to jump through for approval with some procedures.

I canceled insurance, but they still charged me, I called to insurance four times, and asked for return me money back, but they just sent requests inside to company, and all the time request denied ( they don’t inform me, and I just spend at least 1-2 hours to call them

Specifically took an out of network eligible plan so that I could have a wide variety of doctors to choose from. They had a higher deductible and out of pocket. Both aspects I was aware of when i signed up. Found a out of network doctor who fit my needs. All good. Paid him up front and then went to BCBS for reimbursement. This is where things go downhill. BCBS has "approved" rates for each ICD code. They were half of what the doc actually charged. Their argument - "this is what we think this code should be charged at in your area". Now the kicker, they would only take half of what I paid even towards my deductible and out of pocket calculations. Now i am stuck with a massive bill while having chosen from the terms clearly laid out upfront. Was this "approved rate" mentioned upfront - NO Did they already compensate themselves with a higher deductible for going out of network - YES Was this in their fine print which you would find after 3 hours of looking at 8 levels deep on their site - YES So why are they double compensating their bottom line? If you have an approved rate, then just have an open network with no concept of in or out of network. It's the profit gouging practices like this which will make me hate each and every executive in BCBS. You lost a customer. Not that it matters to you. I really hope the BCBS executives experience being middle class and being hit with a surprise medical bill that is a result of profit gouging through shady practices.

Be aware of blue cross blue shield Medicare advantage. Bad news if you get sick. My dad had cellulitis in his leg and needed to go into a nursing home rehab. The plan was to keep him there for 30 days of rehab. After 12 days the insurance discharged him . He barely can walk, both feet are completely swollen where he can't get his shoes on and he lives alone most of the time. He's so weak. How can they do that? Horrible and dangerous. Oh, he will get a nurse and therapy once a week. Big deal. What about the rest of the hours in the week. So unfair. The doctor didn't release him, the insurance did. He's paying a nice premium every month. Be very careful.

Thugs who make me pay for pretty much every doctor visit. I pay high premiums and have a very high deductible. I pretty much absorb all my health care costs while paying these thugs premiums. Get rid of for-profit healthcare. Bring medicare for all by now and join every other first world nation. Private insurance is 3rd world BS.

First; 3 times asked for home visit to be done with both my husband and me. He had dementia and was very confused. Nurse called and wanted to come to see me only I refused. Second: Now a few years later I am on a patch for neuropathy that they will no longer cover $$$ so instead I will be on two more oral medications?

This is an extremely lousy and deceptive insurance company that I would strongly not recommend. They sent me a letter offering greater coverage if I provided them data via a form. Once I did so, with zero mention in the letter, there was a surprise mandatory health clinic visit required where they wanted to take my blood and perform tests. When I told them I didn't want to proceed with the health clinic visit that was not at all mentioned in the letter, I requested that they delete my data I had provided them through the form and at first they refused to do so. It took several weeks of calls with Blue Cross, educating them on PIPEDA (our privacy laws) that they were knowingly and willingly violating to finally delete this data. Weeks later I became locked out of my account and had to call them and they let me know they "accidentally" deleted my account and had me re-create my account, wasting a lot of time because of their incompetency and unwillingness to follow our laws.

Blue cross is great insurance they cover so much and I never have to worry when I get hurt or sick and have to see a doctor.

Fair; the company paid its portion of the bill.

This company is trustworthy and pays my medical bills right away. I. Ave not had any problems with my medical bills.

Excellent service and excellent provider network

We used this insurance for awhile but had to change due to a job change. This insurance was great and provided great coverage and benefits.

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.

It is good but doesn't cover everything.

Costs are too high for what you get

This health insurance company always answers our questions immediately and helps us understand exactly what we are paying for, so I have had a positive experience with them.

We are not that pleased with BCBS. We pay more and get less, you have to jump thru hoops for the very few locations we can get our medications filled. It's just ridiculous..

Have through work. Has had a number one of different options for policies. Liked having so many choices.

I am looking for an alternative at this point. The premiums are ridiculous, the out of pocket maximums are unbelievable, and the billing service people don't have a clue about billing. I pay over $1300 a month for 2 people in their 40's. Our family out of pocket is almost $16,000. In March, I happened to log in online to look at some claim information and just happened to notice that my policy showed cancelled. I panicked because my husband was in the middle of arm surgery / infection treatment, and this was no time to not have insurance. After talking with BCBS billing/customer service for a week, they could not find a single piece of documentation showing who requested or why our policy had been cancelled. If I had not happened to log in that day and bring the situation to their attention, chances are they would not have paid the upcoming claims from our doctors and hospitals. Then 3 months later, I get an email stating my monthly draft is changing from $1300 to $2157. Again, I've not requested any changes to my plan. After the billing person threw out 4 different reasons for this, none of which made any sense at all, she finally put me on hold for about 20 minutes, and then said there is some discrepancy from 2016 in which we owe $800. And now she has to escalate it because she can't do anything about it. Another week of dealing with incompetent people. Not to mention all the stuff that isn't covered even though I have their most expensive plan. I am going broke on just a couple of arm surgeries.

Excellent coverage. Never had an issue with a claim. Most doctors in my area took this insurance giving us many choices.

Went through some surgical procedures and many Dr. visits. Getting them to pay what they owed was a nightmare and it is very much over price.

Mostly excellent service and product. Certainly not perfect in all areas, but tries. Health insurance is very important. Overall has been good, but sometimes policies get in the way of providing good service.

I'm very very disappointed with this health insurance. I thought for sure this would be the one we could call the ONE ! Best INSURANCE BLUE VALUE BUT I GUESS NOT!!!!IF THEY FEEL LIKE U SHOULDN'T GET HELP WITH THE DISCOUNT THEY WOULD FIND AWAY TO SAY YOU MISS A PAYMENT OR SHOULD I SAY ALMOST ALL YOUR PAYMENT S. 3 OUT OF 5 NOW I DONT KNOW what happened with the Billing department on canceling our payments but its Okay Cause my Father Sits high and looks low .... HE KNOWS WHAT WAS DONE ITS OKAY ....THAT'S FINE TOO...😥

This company is the absolute worst insurance company I’ve ever dealt with. I shopped vigorously for a dental plan in the fall knowing I’d need some dental work done. Got in touch with blue cross blue shield and specifically asked “do you cover crowns?” I was told yes and specifically referred to a 47 page manual that explained their policy in depth. Nowhere in this manual did it even hint that crowns weren’t covered. In fact, it detailed how they were covered at 50%. The manual had an entire section of what wasn’t covered. Nowhere in that section did it even mention the word crown. Based on this I purchased the plan. I had multiple crowns done and to my dismay the company now refuses to pay the claims. They are trying to tell Me the tooth wasn’t more than 50% decayed. Nowhere in their policy does it talk about ratios that teeth need to be damaged to obtain a crown. Acting on the opinion of multiple dentists I obtained crowns to fix my teeth. Had I known that for this company to cover a crown the tooth had to be more than 50% decayed I obviously wouldn’t have gotten their policy. Again, they can’t point out where in their policy this is listed. They simply don’t want to pay the claim. Bottom line is they will take your premiums with open hands and then find a way not to pay totally legitimate claims. I had to give one star because zero wasn’t an option.

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.

Overall a good company. There are times when the customer service reps don't seem to understand situations but their supervisor helped.

They have a decent spread of low-deductible and high-deductible options, and were the most affordable for me.

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.

They have covered what was listed in the policy. Any time I have had to call them I usually end up having to talk to several people to sort out the right answer.

We've had BlueCross BlueShield in the past. They were easy to work when we had a baby at the hospital and we had lots of hospital bills to go through. They were accepted at any of our local hospitals in Utah, where we live. We've had other insurance companies where we'd have to go to a specific hospital or Dr's office because our insurance wouldn't be accepted. But, with BCBS it seems almost anyone accepted them. That was the biggest plus in being their costumer.

I'm retired Civil Service using Benefeds/OPM contract with BC/BS Fed VIP Dental. The Dental coverage is a scam. I live in Rehoboth Beach, DE, where there are no in-network dentists within a 35 mile drive . However there are several available in NJ on the other side of the Delaware Bay. BCBS actually sent me a note saying they expected me to drive across the water. The reason for needing a dentist is because I need a molar implant. Implants are on their schedule, but BCBS has told me they will NEVER do implants because there are always cheaper alternatives. They demad I pull out all the rest of my teeth because "dentures are cheaper than an implant." I called OPM where I was told they didn't look at the terms of the contracts. They sent me to BENEFEDS where they told me the companies are the only ones who can look at their own contracts in a stab at self-regulation. I am going to all review sites to uncover this scam.

One of the best insurances!! They cover a lot, especially medical bills resulting from using the emergency room and also have very low co-payments.

very good company to work with, service was on spot, customer service was easy to work with, all my cases were resolved timely and with no problems. My doctors liked dealing with them for all my claims

We have been with BlueCross BlueShield for several years now. They process my claims within 4-6 weeks and have been very helpful when any problems arise. I have had no problems contacting customer service.

Well known company, accepted by most physicians and hospitals. Have pretty reasonable rates and customer service.

Theyre absolutely useless. I have 2 insurances and BlueCross refuses to pay anything. Instead insisting that my other insurance foot the bill even though BlueCross is the primary. Because of this. Neither will pay and ive been paying for all of it out of pocket. On top of that, their customer service is so bottom of the barrel and useless that ive been redirected down countless rabbit holes over the last 2 years just to get my policy terminated. BlueCross BlueShield is by far, the most useless and detrimental insurance you could come across. Avoid it like the plague, theyd do the same to you.

I've been part of the BlueCross BlueShield of Arizona network and the BlueCross BlueShield of Texas network. BlueCross BlueShield is widely recognized so I never had trouble using it at my chosen medical providers.

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 family is currently covered by BlueCross BlueShield and have yet to find a single issue with them after a number of years. They always cover what they say they will and we haven't had any issues with payment or approval for some procedures we have needed. I would recommend them to anyone!

insurance should work for the people i was getting my diabetic shots for $25.00 a month $75.00 for 3 months at my pharmacy with a coupon now i am told i have to go thru express script that will cost me $178.00 for 3 months cant do pharmacy but 3 times. this adds more cost to your customers on top of what we are paying already. why does it matter where we get meds filled if it save us money what i pay a month for insurance is already enough now they cant work with saving customers

We have enjoyed our BlueCross BlueShield health insurance provided through work. We have great options for doctors and clinics and they seem to cover a good portion of the visits. The price is great and we have always been happy with them.

BCBS has been our healthcare provider for years we are happy with the service and doctors that are covered under the plan we have.

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.
