    We changed to AARP Medicare Advantage in 2022, due to a change in our prescriptions. We logged into the website and entered all of our prescription drugs and the prices were better than with Humana Medicare plan. This is not true. My husband takes a very expensive medicine for thunderclap headaches. They gave us 1 month of coverage and then it had to go to their review panel. Of course we did not know this until we changed to them.

    We have moved and could not get an appointment with a new neurologist that quick. I called to ask them to cover 1 more month. I have talked to 2 different customer service representatives and 1 supervisor. They said they would resolve and get back to us the same day. I have spent at least 3 hours on the phone, talking and holding, and still do not have an answer. The cost for 1 month without their coverage is $770+. We made a huge mistake changing companies and even though this is the first review I have written thought I needed to let others know. Health insurance is very important!

    I had no options but to go on a Medicare Advantage plan. I had no choice but to use the plan that UHC is a part of because no other plans covered specific Drs that only the UHC would cover. My biggest mistake was in trusting that I would have the coverage needed, especially during the Covid pandemic! But I was absolutely wrong! I'm already covered for a parts A&B & have been since 2006 with regular Medicare being my secondary insurance to my husband's employer based insurance through Union Pacific Railroad & even more sad it is actually through UHC Railroad!

    I had a terrible experience in attempting to make sure my Parts C&D were covered. Contacted UHC, my US state Representative & wasted so much time on this that the 2 months when I needed to contact the arbitrary company it was too late. NO ONE had told me about this! I was denied coverage because they said I didn't have coverage - going back 10 years. They covered medical without question... I then began receiving a monthly bill for Part C coverage, which they had no intention to cover it! IMHO AARP MEDICARE ADVANTAGE UHC is nothing but a fraudulent scam.

    This company should be named AARP Runaround. My doctor changed my diabetes medication to insulin. I need a meter that shows the rate of change. United Healthcare sent me running to five separate suppliers and denied them shipping. They told me my appeal for pre-authorization was Oked. They then told me to get it from a company that doesn't carry the meter. I think AARP should be legally prevented from recommending health insurance.

    We've been with AARP UnitedHealthCare for several years. They must have had a management change or supervisory issues recently. Customer service is non-existent. Holding times in excess of an hour only to talk with someone who has no clue or provides misinformation. I am taking a tier 4 (expensive) medication. My doctor prescribed the medication every other day yet I am being charged for daily use. I was told that I am charged for a month of usage regardless of how much I use - makes no sense. Pay for 30 but only get (and use) 15!! I'm done with AARP United next sign up period.

    Coverage awesome, I have very small out of pocket bills. In the last 5 years I've had a surgery and an emergency room visit. But the yearly rate increase negates yearly social security raise. If I wasn't working full time, I don't think I could pay for it.

    I have had AARP Medicare Supplement for the last 7 years. It has been great. With the plan I have, it covers my Medicare deductible and balances that Medicare does not pay. I think the insurance is great and am very pleased with this product. Since I have had it, I have not received a bill for any balance on my medical bills. I would recommend it to everybody.

    Skeptical of United Healthcare but they seem to have done a great job over the past 13 months. Not cheap but I can go to just about anyone I need to. Every bill was paid smoothly without any need for my intervention including a 6 week stint with physical therapy. I renewed.

    Very good coverage. All of my doctors are included and the $5 drop-in specialist co-pays is nice for 2021. Two big issues; the coverage gap for one of my medications is ridiculous and will kick in early summer this year where a 3 month supply goes from $141 to almost $500 and the dental covers next to nothing. I do have nationwide coverage if we are ever able to travel, so I am not locked into Connecticut if I need care when out of state.

    I used to have a different insurance and it was supposed to pay 80% of covered expenses. It was absolutely horrible insurance and now I have the AARP insurance. They pay 80% except they pay more of the covered expenses or they have more covered expenses than the other company had. I recently had breast cancer and I had very little out-of-pocket money to pay. Awesome insurance. I would tell anyone. I would recommend it to anyone.

    Unfortunately, if there is a problem and you need them to speak for you, forget about it. I had a practioner named Dr. Gary **, who arbitrarily raised my co-payment by $10.00.
