Comments "Utterly disgraceful! EVERY claim EVER submitted to them (including general trips to my local in network doctor) has been rejected - even after calling Unicare in advance to confirm coverage! Forget just healthcare, this is the worst company of ANY industry I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. " 2008-09-16 09:21:49 EST
"You can never speak to an agent, only some foreigner in claims, they have screwed up every claim that I have had for my family in the past year and have tried to tell me that they have paid $3,810,145.70 in claims for me personally even though all I have ever had done medically is have an appendectomy on an outpatient basis this spring. If I could, I would drop them today, but my son has developed an ongoing condition that prevents me from finding another insurance co. UniCare is bad for your health!!!!!" 2008-08-25 13:52:55 EST
"Customer service calls go to ESL call centers in foreign countries - they can't understand me and I can't understand them. I have questions about items in the plan documents and all they can do is read me the document - they can't answer ANY question. Demand to talk to an American whenever calling! Otherwise, fairly decent as far as insurance companies go. I've never had a problem with claims. EXCEPT for the fact that if you go to the ER and don't get admitted you have to pay the entire bill minus the 'insurance discount'." 2008-08-03 18:38:00 EST
