1. UnitedHealthcare CEO shot dead in New York by attacker who waited for him, police say. Brian Thompson, 50, was killed on his way into Hilton hotel for investors conference.

2. Text reads: Brian Thompson, 50, was shot outside the Hilton hotel at 1335 Avenue of the Americas just after 6.45am after arriving early for the company’s annual investor conference. A man wearing a mask approached him and fired at him repeatedly, police said.

3. UnitedHealthcare Tried to Deny Coverage to a Chronically Ill Patient. He Fought Back, Exposing the Insurer’s Inner workings.

4. On the 2021 phone call, which was recorded by the company, nurse Victoria Kavanaugh told her colleague that a doctor contracted by United to review the case had concluded that McNaughton’s treatment was “not medically necessary.” Her colleague, Dave Opperman, reacted to the news with a long laugh.

5. UnitedHealth Group is the fourth-largest public company in the US behind Walmart, Amazon and Apple.

5. United had flagged McNaughton’s case as a “high dollar account,” and the company was reviewing whether it needed to keep paying for the expensive cocktail of drugs crafted by a Mayo Clinic specialist that had brought McNaughton’s disease under control after he’d been through years of misery.

6. United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson Salary: $1,000,000 Stock awards: $6,00,585 Option awards: $2,00,126 Non-equity incentive plan compensation: $1,200,000 Other compensation: $21,187 Total: $10,221,989

7. As United reviewed McNaughton’s treatment, he and his family were often in the dark about what was happening or their rights. Meanwhile, United employees misrepresented critical findings and ignored warnings from doctors about the risks of altering McNaughton’s drug plan.

8. UnitedHealthcare is the worst insurance company for paying claims with about one-third of claims denied.

9. 3. Thompson’s wife has said that he had been receiving threats. In a phone call to NBC News, Paulette Thomspon said: “There had been some threats. Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage? I don’t know details. I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him.”

Chart: Claim denial rates by insurance company. Kaiser Permanente: 7% Oscar: 12% Ambetter: 14% Industry average: 16% Blue Cross Blue Shield: 17% Cigna: 18% Molina: 19% Aetna: 20% Caresource: 20% Anthem: 23% Medica: 27% UnitedHealthcare: 32% Based on available in-network claim data for plans sold on the marketplace

10. UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges

11. UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors’ judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan.

12. Protestors say 11 arrested outside UnitedHealthcare HQ in Minnetonka. Critics have held a series of events highlighting what they describe as a pattern of improper coverage denials by the nation’s largest health insurer.

13. UnitedHealth pushed employees to follow an algorithm to cut off Medicare patients’ rehab care.

14. The nation’s largest health insurance company pressured its medical staff to cut off payments for seriously ill patients in lockstep with a computer algorithm’s calculation, denying rehabilitation care for older and disabled Americans as profits soared, a STAT investigation has found. UnitedHealth Group has repeatedly said its algorithm, which predicts how long patients will need to stay in rehab, is merely a guidepost for recoveries. But inside the company, managers dilevered a different message: that the algorithm was to be followed precisely so payment could be cut off by the date it predicted.

15. UnitedHealth forecasts 2025 profit largerly in line with estimates.

16. For 2025, the company sees revenue to be between $450 billion and $455 billion, compared with estimates of $431.40 billion.

17. The McNaughtons were well aware of the financial situation at United. They looked at publicly available financial results and annual reports. Last year, United reported a profit of $20.1 billion on revenues of $324.2 billion. When discussing the case with Penn State, Light said, she told university administrators that United could pay for a year of her son’s treatment using just minutes’ worth of profit.

18. According to Wallmine, Brian Thompson’s net worth was estimated to be $42.9 million at the time of his death. This figure includes more than 72.800 units of UnitedHealth Group stock, along with over 82,300 stock options he had sold, valued at over $21 million.

When I worked doing Appeals for a major hospital, for insurance company denials, I called Ambetter AmWORST!!!!

In a federal lawsuit filed in Illinois that same year, Ambetter customers alleged that Centene companies “intentionally and knowingly misrepresented” the number of in-network providers by publishing inaccurate directories. Centene lawyers wrote in a court filing that the company “denies that it made any misrepresentations to consumers.” The case is ongoing.

And in 2021, San Diego’s city attorney sued several Centene subsidiaries for “publishing and advertising provider information they know to be false and misleading” — over a quarter of those subsidiaries’ in-network psychiatrists were unable to see new patients, the complaint said. The city is appealing after a judge sided with Centene on technical grounds.

Medical Neglect, Insurance, SOS

I'm writing to share this story for a couple reasons I feel need to be addressed. While I do need help of many kinds, and do ask for it here: HELP, SOS, accepting any and all help. I believe I will need to seek a medical lawyer or something. BUT, I also know that I am very privileged to be in the position of being able to write, think, ask for help, have support, to make calls, have insurance, and advocate for myself. Privileged in being educated in these specific fields and how to better navigate them. Privileged in being youngish and healthy enough to heal, able to cut out other substances, being able to live with family and work out and have back-up medicine (prednisone) to stay alive when that once was the only option; which is more than many others in history and across the globe, on top of having ongoing family support. I'm lucky in ALL those parts, and yet …  

I am being arbitrarily denied a life saving medicine, Stelara, which I had before; and slowly being left to feel my health wither without the ability to control it, while nearing what I thought was the end of this two year long adventure of fighting Crohns, Covid, C.Diff, and my colon. For all the work and luck and support, the decisions for my health have been taken from me, taken from my doctors, taken from the pharmacy, and are being held up by an insurance company (Ambetter from MHS) refusing to take appropriate action, and lying to me and my care team about it. 

I know for 100% certainty that my story, while bad, is not stand-alone. Too often these situations end with sickness that slowly eats away at the person and the stories don't get told or get lost in the grief which that family eventually deals with; and those experiences don't often get spoken to the public, and are rarely considered when talking about the dangers of our medical system, and of medical neglect, mismanagement, and negligence. The final results lead to a slow withering quiet sick passing, with promises of support while waiting on-hold to explain your issue to the next representative. I share my story because I genuinely don't know what else to do, and because I know I'm not alone in this kind of tragedy, one which is felt by a vast swath of people, which is a tragedy in and of itself.  

While my experiences with the problems of insurance and medical accessibility go back over a decade now, my recent issues are related to nearly making it to the end of multiple surgeries finishing in a full colectomy. Since my follow-up surgery in December, I have been cleared by the surgeon, everything has gone well and healed effectively. I’ve put on more muscle and been in the gym more frequently, so it's clear that I have the potential to heal, and things should be trending up. However, I still have not received my primary medication to manage the Crohn’s disease at all throughout this time. This is a medication that is supposed to be given every 8 weeks to manage ongoing inflammatory response and Crohn’s symptoms; the disease which caused the need to have surgery… which has not been given since Nov 7, 2023.

I had to change insurance at the beginning of January, so it can be expected to be a challenge, but they ignored the requests from my doctors office and pharmacy, and we later learned there had been an issue with auto-filling my insurance info with a previous plan. Ridiculous but understandable. Throughout February there were multiple calls to try and address the issue, but it was rejected repeatedly, with neither notice being sent to the GI doctor or to me, nor an explanation as to why that’s the case. In the first week of March, I was hospitalized in the ER for a day with severe pain, swelling, inflammation, and Crohn’s related symptoms, which has ever since been treated with steroids, prednisone, which are not meant to be long term treatment. 

It was after this that my doctor and I began pursuing getting the medicine especially seriously, but with no luck. Even after covering the ER visit, the medication has been denied repeatedly. Appeals have been requested which were denied. Further urgent appeals for emergency requests were submitted, but rejected as being urgent. And most recently, I was told that none of those appeals were in their system, and would have to have my doctor contact them again to submit information; directly counter to the conversation I had with the GI nurse, blatantly lieing.  I have since gotten set up with the manufacturer of the medication for a copay assistance program, and next will be reaching out to try and get it directly; but it is clear that this is wrong. I am insured and have had coverage. I was previously on this medication and have a history of it escalating to this and responding effectively to it. Even financially, the cost of covering my hospitalization for THIS EXACT PROBLEM, ends up being greater than the cost of giving me the medication which would prevent it. This should not be the case, and it makes no sense to me.

 Part of me really just wants to get my medication and to find an escape from this trap of being given just enough medicine to stay alive, but not enough to reach true health and begin life anew and find stability; BUT another part is furious that it has now been over 3 months of medical neglect that has resulted in another hospitalization, and unknown damage due to inflammation and lack of treatment and that this is something that should be fought. Should be held up for examination and reflection of a broken system that is leaving people to slowly die. Somehow, Ambetter and all health insurance companies should be held accountable

Advice needed for a College Student that can’t affordable Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus

I am a college student that is having trouble obtaining speciality contact lenses. I recently had 2 CXL procedures done in 2021 and 2022. In March 2023 when I went for my check-up my corneal specialist told me that glasses wouldn’t help me very much , but scleral speciality contact lenses would. I asked my doctor to write and medically necessary letter and fax it to my insurance company several times. My medical insurance company said they never received it. I have Ambetter of NC. My insurance doesn’t cover this unless I was pediatric. I have even contact the financial care coordinator at Duke Health and asked for at least a payment plan. They told me they do not grant payment plans and $700 would be due for the custom-fitting and up to $600 per eye for the contacts. They told me my medical insurance company would not cover it. I feel like my medical insurance company can cover because it’s medically necessary for me. My doctor wrote a generic letter and her assistant uploaded it to myDukeChart. After viewing the letter, it just look like a general letter when I know service code for KC should have been used. I contacted my doctor’s office again and requested that it be properly written for my insurance company and to no avail they sent me the exact same letter as before. I am getting desperate for answers and just want some relief and to move on and be able to see better. At least a payment plan would be helpful. I am even shopping around for cheaper options but no estimates unless I come in for an eye exam and fitting. I am so confused and frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

What is the Best South Florida Health Insurance Plan?

We Analyze So You Don’t Have To If you are looking to locate and shop plans for affordable health insurance coverage in the state of Florida, then look no further! Our team has researched and compiled information from all the top carriers participating in the Health Insurance Marketplace, including ACA (Marketplace) and Off-Exchange (Short Term) plans. We have gathered all the sales and offers available to provide you with the best options for your healthcare needs in Florida.

Whether you’re seeking coverage for yourself, your family, or your business, we can help you find the top South Florida health insurance plans that meet your requirements.

For ACA the best is Florida Blue and Cigna and for Short Term its Golden Rule(United Healthcare).

ACA Health Plan Analysis When looking for the best health insurance plans in South Florida, our licensed insurance agent breaks everything down for you starting with the main question — where to find affordable health insurance that won’t put you in the hospital due to the price.

We only offer the best options for affordable health insurance plans in Florida, including marketplace plans designed to suit your needs. Our goal is to provide you with the lowest monthly premiums without compromising coverage.

While some plans may come with a high deductible, they also offer copays for medical services, ensuring that you have access to necessary treatments at a reasonable cost. Moreover, our comprehensive plans extend beyond medical care to include dental and vision benefits and coverage for prescription medications.

We understand the importance of reliable coverage, especially when it comes to hospital stays, surgeries, or critical illnesses like cancer. That is why we give­ utmost importance to forming partnerships with top-tier hospitals. This e­nsures that the healthcare­ plan you select covers all pote­ntial medical expense­s. With our customer-focused approach and exte­nsive network of healthcare­ providers, you can have peace­ of mind knowing that your health insurance provides e­xceptional value tailored to your spe­cific needs.

For this analysis, we will focus on leading insurance companies that offer high-quality health insurance coverage on the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace. Our objective is to offer you inclusive­ coverage encompassing primary care­, emergency se­rvices, urgent care, and acce­ss to highly skilled healthcare profe­ssionals. We recognize the­ significance of personalized me­dical plans and strive to deliver information re­garding Medicare plans tailored spe­cifically to meet your unique ne­eds.

Our commitment to helping people goes beyond insurance coverage, as we also provide information on community resources and health services available to you. In today’s digital age, we offer virtual healthcare options to ensure convenient access to care.

After conducting thorough research using the U.S. Health Reports, we narrowed the list of carriers to those with in-network agreements with renowned hospitals such as Mount Sinai, Baptist Hospital, and Cleveland Clinic in Weston. We have arranged the results alphabetically, allowing you to easily compare and choose the carrier that aligns with your healthcare preferences and provides coverage at these esteemed institutions.

Aetna CVS Health 2022 marked the first year that Aetna Insurance Company was a part of the Affordable Care Act here in Florida. So far, the results are encouraging. Aetna has all three hospitals in-network. This is great and for a new carrier shows that they care about health insurance in Florida. The health insurance premiums with Aetna are competitive and in some counties is the cheapest health insurance available. For a lower monthly cost health plan, Aetna should be considered.

Ambetter from Sunshine Health Ambetter takes a different approach to ensure South Florida residents by providing both an HMO(Health Maintenance Organization) and an EPO(Exclusive Provider Organization) Option. The EPO is a much broader network but is usually more expensive than the HMO option. Unfortunately, both the HMO nor EPO have access to Cleveland Clinic. So, while their health insurance would be good for someone in Miami-Dade County it would be bad for someone in Broward County. Ambetter is available in most Florida counties. In terms of health care, we’d recommend you look elsewhere for your new Florida health insurance policy.

AvMed AvMed offers HMO coverage on the marketplace. They also have private plans offered directly that our POS (Point of Service) They offer both the Cleveland Clinic and Baptist Hospital in-network but do not cover Mount Sinai. This has been an ongoing issue with AvMed and Mount Sinai; unfortunately, individuals are penalized.

Due to price increases in 2023, we can’t recommend AvMed for Florida Health Insurance residents.

We suggest going to another insurance company for health insurance in Florida. Caveat- AvMed does have a private health plan, not on the Marketplace. The health care on these plans is quite good and covers most medical expenses. You will need to apply during the open enrollment period. AvMed is not among the cheapest silver plan.

Cigna Cigna offers a robust EPO on Healthcare.Gov here in South Florida. All three hospitals Baptist, Mount Sinai, and Cleveland Clinic are in-network. Cigna is offered at a price point that is higher than most plans but still remains affordable. Cigna is one of our picks as the best health insurance option. Cigna has individual health insurance, family plans and health insurance for the self-employed.

For Florida residents looking for health insurance in Florida, we highly endorse Cigna in terms of the best health insurance plan.

Florida Blue Every year, Florida Blue maintains its spot on the leaderboard as one of the top solutions for the best health insurance for Florida Residents. Florida Blue is unique in offering Florida Blue HMO Plans, EPO, and PPO(Preferred Provider Organization) for any price point. Florida Blue remains the only carrier that offers coverage in every county in Florida. Baptist, Mount Sinai, and Cleveland Clinic are in-network with all of their plans.

If you choose the Florida Blue HMO, obtaining a referral will be necessary to consult with a specialist. Among health insurance providers, Blue Florida Blue Options boasts the highest number of participating providers.

You will pay higher monthly premiums for a Blue Options plan. Typically the prescription coverage on Blue Select or Blue Options is among the best.

Molina Health Although it’s not our number one recommendation Molina Healthcare has offered health insurance in Florida for many years. Molina is a leader in the Medicaid field and offers good health care in many states, however, Florida is not one of them. None of the three hospitals listed above currently accept Molina Healthcare. At the moment, Molina offers just an HMO plan.

For health coverage, there is better health insurance plan available. We do not recommend Molina Health for good insurance companies in Florida.

Oscar Oscar is on par with Molina in terms of value here in South Florida. None of the benchmark hospitals are in-network. Oscar and Bright Health are very similar; they are newcomers trying to find their footing in the ACA marketplace. We haven’t had very good feedback from our clients on Oscar so this is another plan we tend to avoid. None of the benchmark hospitals participate in Oscar. While Oscar remains cheap health insurance its finances are a mess. In fact they asked the state of Florida for no more enrollments in earlier this year- a sign of bad finances.

For this reason, Oscar remains one of the health insurance companies we avoid.

United Healthcare United Healthcare is the 800 Pound Gorilla in the Health Insurance and Medicare coverage field. They are excellent for Short Term, Group, and Medicare. However, they have struggled with the ACA market in previous years. They were on the ACA then pulled out a few years ago. They are back this year with HMO Health Insurance Plan options in limited markets including South Florida. As of now neither Baptist, Mount Sinai nor Cleveland Clinic participates under the United Healthcare HMO in the marketplace. United Healthcare ACA is one of the cheapest Florida health care plans around.

Short Term Medical Insurance With its large network and good claims history United Healthcare(Golden Rule) is the number one choice for this category.

The health Insurance plans can be as little as one month in length up to three years.

Golden Rule offers strong catastrophic plans for those who need temporary coverage. Unlike the Florida Health Insurance Marketplace, Short Term Health Insurance does not offer ACA Compliant benefits. They offer private health insurance with broad PPO Health Insurance coverage.

This means for you the client an insurance company with a strong health insurance provider. By offering such a strong network and plans United Healthcare(Golden Rule) is one of the best health insurance companies in Florida. Chances are if you need to see a Health Insurance provider they would take Golden Rule.

Short Term Health Insurance has no open enrollment period, and you’ll typically find cheaper premiums than an ACA Plan.

Short-term health insurance plans are a fantastic option with low monthly premiums for those losing coverage and who don’t qualify for open enrollment or have employer-sponsored coverage. This is our winner for the best cheap health insurance.

About the Marketplace The Federal Exchange, also known as Healthcare.gov, is a platform that allows individuals, self-employed, and families in Florida to compare and purchase Florida health insurance plans. The Marketplace offers a range of individual health insurance, self-employed certified to meet certain standards, and offers comprehensive coverage, mental health, free preventive prescription drugs, quality assurance, prescription drugs, essential benefits, health screenings, and free preventive care.

Consumers can use the Marketplace to see if they are eligible for financial assistance, such as monthly premium tax credits based on household income, which can lower the cost of their monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Health plans offered through the affordable care act are not cheap health insurance plans.

You must enroll in the open enrollment period. Overall, the ACA Marketplace in Florida provides a convenient and accessible way for residents to obtain a health care plan and access the care they need. For Health Insurance quotes on an ACA Plan, Click Here.

How to find your best health insurance plans in Florida Finding the best health insurance plan is crucial, as it ensures you can receive medical care when needed without financially straining yourself. Here’s a basic step-by-step guide on how to find your best health insurance plans in Florida:

Assess Your Needs: Before searching for insurance, take note of your health status, any ongoing treatments or medications, expected health expenses, and your budget. This will help you determine the type of coverage you need and what you’re able to afford. Check Your Eligibility: Evaluate whether you are eligible for any public insurance programs, like Medicaid services or Florida’s CHIP program for children. Depending on your income level, you may also be eligible for a subsidized plan under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Explore the Marketplace: If you’re not eligible for public coverage or don’t have employer-provided insurance, visit the federal health insurance marketplace at healthcare.gov during the open enrollment period or after a qualifying life event to see the plans available to you. Compare Plans: Look at each plan’s premium, deductible, copayments, and out-of-pocket maximum. Also, review the list of covered services and medications. Make sure to check if your preferred doctors and hospitals are within the plan’s network. Consider HMOs vs. PPOs: Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) are common types of health insurance. HMOs typically have lower premiums but restrict coverage to doctors in a specified network. PPOs tend to have higher premiums but offer greater flexibility in choosing a primary care physician and hospitals. Read Reviews: Check ratings and reviews for health insurance providers in Florida. This can give you a better idea of their customer service, coverage satisfaction, and claims process. Ask for Help: If the process is confusing, consider using a health insurance broker or licensed health insurance agent. They can guide you through the process and help you understand different aspects of insurance plans. They might receive a commission from the insurance companies for their medical services.

Remember, the best health insurance plan for you depends on your specific needs and circumstances. Always do your research and ask questions before settling on a plan.

Health insurance rate changes in Florida Health insurance rates in Florida underwent changes from 2022 to 2023. On average, there was an increase of 5% in the cost of health insurance plans, leading to a rise of around $27 in monthly payments.

Among the different categories of healthcare insurance plans, Bronze plans experienced the most significant price hike, with a 10% increase in cost for 2023 compared to the previous year. On the other hand, Silver plans saw a relatively smaller increase of 2% in their rates. Notably, the cost for a Gold plan remained unchanged between the two years.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the rate changes:

Catastrophic plans went from $312 per month in 2022 to $330 in 2023, marking a 6% increase. Bronze plans witnessed a jump from $436 to $480, amounting to a 10% hike. Silver plans experienced a minor increase from $585 to $599, which represents a 2% rise. Gold plans stayed stable at $655 per month. Platinum plans saw their rates go from $901 to $964, which is a 7% increase.

Note: These monthly premiums apply to a 40-year-old adult.

The rates for health insurance, along with deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, are determined annually by health insurance companies. Following their internal decision-making, these plans are submitted to the federal exchange for approval for the subsequent plan year.

Frequently asked questions About Health Insurance in Florida What are the different tiers of health insurance plans in Florida? Florida’s different tiers of health insurance plans are Catastrophic, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. These tiers represent different levels of coverage, with Catastrophic offering the least coverage (and lowest premiums) and Platinum offering the most (with the highest premiums).

What is the average cost of health insurance in Florida? In Florida, a 40-year-old purchasing a Silver plan can expect an average monthly health insurance cost of around $599. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that the exact price may vary depending on various factors, such as the individual’s age and the specific coverage level they opt for.

To illustrate, a younger person, say a 21-year-old opting for a Bronze plan, would have a lower average monthly payment of approximately $376. On the other hand, an older individual, like a 60-year-old, would typically face a higher average cost, exceeding $1,000 monthly.

How do I get cheap health insurance in Florida? To get cheap health insurance in Florida, follow these steps:

Know your healthcare needs. Compare insurance plans from different medical providers. Review company ratings Look for income-based discounts or subsidies. Choose a plan that meets your needs and budget.

Where can I apply for health insurance plans in Florida? Floridians can apply for health insurance plans through the federal health insurance marketplace at HealthCare.gov during the open enrollment period. Outside of this period, you can only apply if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period due to a life event like marriage, having a baby, or losing other health coverage.

Conclusion Health Insurance in Florida is indeed an ever-changing landscape, and it’s important to navigate it with careful analysis. In 2023, we witnessed changes in the market as Bright Health and Oscar Health Insurance ceased offering coverage. When it comes to health coverage, making an informed decision is crucial. Simply opting for a low-cost plan doesn’t necessarily guarantee the best cheap health insurance option for individuals and families. It’s essential to consider factors such as the ability to make payments conveniently, provisions for disability coverage, and accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments through TTY (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf).

You may qualify for various health insurance plans, and we aim to assist you in finding coverage that meets your unique needs, enabling you to stay healthy. If you need help navigating the complex landscape of health insurance, our team is here to provide guidance and support throughout the process.

Ambetter is America's #1 market place health insurance provider

[zemglorio]

Insured Misled by Ambetter of Centene

Ambetter misled many policyholders into thinking that their physicians were in-network. The policyholders complained that the Ambetter website keeps rejecting their insurance. Despite Ambetters claims and provider list shows, zero doctors, offices, or hospital accepts the insurance. Ambetter policyholders are also reporting that they have difficulty finding medical providers that accept Ambetter insurance.

 Centene is one of the country's largest Health Insurance Marketplace providers. Under the Affordable Care Act, its Ambetter suite of insurance products is available to Illinois consumers as an alternative. Ambetter plans are promoted with the concept that excellent healthcare is best given locally, and the company provides a long list of in-network doctors who allegedly accept Ambetter insurance.

 However, many customers in Ambetter-covered areas have discovered after purchasing for insurance that the universe of local physicians and health care providers who accept Ambetter is far smaller than advertised. Customers have claimed that Centene falsifies their list of in-network Ambetter physicians, leading them to believe that they can continue seeing their regular doctor with Ambetter health insurance when they can't.

 When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it mandated that every state set up an exchange to buy individual health insurance premiums. The Affordable Care Act also requires plans to maintain a suitable network of providers in quantity and type.

 Ambetter's plans

 While all of Ambetter's plans include adequate preventative care coverage and some vision and dental benefits, it's challenging to get a complete picture of its various plans:

 The     website makes it tough to access information like the annual maximum     out-of-pocket limit and co-pays;

The     cost of a plan and the amount of a deductible varies by program;

Its     location determines the availability of a product;

The     number of persons on the program and other demographic variables, such as     age, impact the cost.

 Ambetter has received an overwhelming number of one-star evaluations. In these Ambetter reviews, customers complain about having trouble getting medication and treatments approved for coverage, resolving claims, being frustrated with customer support, and locating an in-network provider.

 Other complaints on Ambetter include:

 Waiting     for long hours in hospitals and end up not being able to use Ambetter     insurance once admitted;

Phones     are always disconnected;

Representatives     giving out false information to clients;

Clients     were promised to get a refund that was not fulfilled; and

Clients     complain about their very high deductibles and pay vast amounts of money     for monthly premium subscriptions only to receive nothing in return.

 Meanwhile, Burg Simpson is looking into a possible lawsuit against Ambetter on behalf of Ohio clients who have had similar complaints.

 Buckeye Health Plan, a subsidiary of the insurance carrier Centene Corporation, offers Ambetter health plans (Ambetter Balanced Care and Ambetter Secure Care) through the Health Insurance Marketplace (Health insurance Exchange). According to the company, the Ambetter product from Centene Corporation has been purchased by nearly 1.5 million people across the country.
