Blue Cross of Florida

I have waited 34 days, and have spent hours on the phone speaking with multiple representatives to get a single prescription filled. Just to give you an idea, I've spoken to my doctor multiple times, FloridaBlue multiple times, Alliance (a mail order division of Walgreens) multiple times, Prime Therapeutics (I'm not sure who they are, but I was sent to them by FloridaBlue) multiple times, and Walgreens multiple times, yet my script has still not been filled. If you have a choice of health insurers, I would suggest you pick someone else. My coverage was provided by United Healthcare for over eight years, and I never had these types of problems. If my employer provided a choice, I would insure with someone else.

Had Florida Blue through state employment. Had a good experience. Changed jobs and purchased under their individual and family plans. In short, it costs me thousands of dollars and almost nothing is covered. They send you so much paperwork, even after I told them only electronic. A silly issue I had that created so much headache was around auto pay. I kept trying to set up auto pay and though I had confirmations online, it wouldn't go through to them in the coming months. I would get them on the phone and be shuffled around to departments, it was always a 45 minute or more ordeal.

I had Coventry through Obamacare and they stopped all insurance policies so I had to switch. Florida Blue was the only big name brand offering service on the Exchange. It is hard to find a good doctor there, very limited choice, mainly doctors who just accept Medicaid. I was lucky and found a good primary care doctor. They were good at paying my primary care doctor and my prescriptions. I know going to a specialist is a hassle, you need a referral. Luckily I never needed a specialist, so I can't say much about that. I really had no big problems with MyBlue. It all revolves around who you have for Primary Care Provider.

If there was a “ZERO” to give I will not hesitate. The worst customer service and agents ever. In Dec 2017 I was out of state on vacation. On Jan 1st 2018 I was hurt, I called and I was told to go to an urgent care and send them the bill. I told the agent I am not familiar with the area, she asked for my zip code where I was, I provided that, then she said go this urgent care and you will be cover. I walked in gave my insurance card, when it came to pay I was told that I have to pay out of pocket $249. I called FL Blue, I was told, "Oh you need to pay it then send us the bill."

I would give zero stars if I could. I signed up for Florida Blue Select, a platinum plan on the marketplace based upon my prescriptions being covered my providers working within the plan and I could afford the co-pays and deductibles. At the time I signed up there were over 300 ob-gyn providers available to choose from within a 10 mile radius, when I went to use the plan after finally getting pregnant as planned the amount of doctors available to choose from within a 10 mile radius was down to 75. All 75 of those doctors work for one company which is rated one star.

In the beginning of 2017 we never got the insurance we had selected and paid for through healthcare.gov. with Florida Blue. My wife at that time had a much needed complicated operation scheduled. They told us multiple times on multiple days that they fixed the problem and everything was fine. When we ran our policy numbers they had given us (with any medical establishment) we would find they had lied, we still did not have insurance. We ended canceling her operation because they denied to give us insurance.

I have tried to reach a representative of Florida Blue 1 855 692 5830 and the calls are sent outside of the US. If you ask for a US representative they will not be able to do so... Means, you are calling overseas in which they will record your conversation (for quality purpose) and certainly they have all your private information. Secondly it's hard to understand their English... What about jobs in the US??? Why we are at the mercy of companies keeping all our data and health matter in another country. It's a shame. I was not able to resolve my problem, which and please be aware that Florida Blue, will not send you an Invoice to pay your Health Insurance in which at the 4th day if payment is not received they will cancel your policy and still no correspondence will be sent via US Mail. Bad way to do business, bad company, bad service. Shame.

First off I have had my 21-year-old son with this company for 4 years. Suddenly this year BCBS of Florida refuse to pay for feeding tube formula for my son. As they consider it food not medically necessary. Even though his surgeon at the Mayo clinic disagrees, and has argued for his case that he needs the feeding tube to live! BCBS of Florida still denied claim. Ridiculous! My son is 21 and working part-time. He cannot afford 32.00 a case which last him one week. As he thankfully can eat some but little by mouth. I called and spoke with an agent that gave me attitude and was sarcastic... Horrible!

I made a big mistake choosing this company for my 2018 health insurance, I am paying a lot and receiving nothing, specialist are no cover before the deductible, neither your primary doctor if you are sick... This company is a big scam, I do not understand how the Florida Government is allowing this, I am really disappointed!

I would not recommend this insurance provider due after my experience that started in Nov 2017 trying to submit a claim. I faxed and emailed a claim in November, I received a response through mail that a few things were missing, I made copies and resent it out again. Once again weeks later I received another letter stating I needed to add a few more forms. I did that and decided to mail it back and fax it. I decided to check on my claim 4 WEEKS later and miraculously they never received it. I called back and was told by the CS agent it would have to go to the claims dept and they would have a rep contact me. Well I did get called, 3 WEEKS later!!!

Don't Get this Insurance Plan offered by the Marketplace. They send you a lot of Promotional Ads saying how great it is. Then you go to use it and you find out what a bad choice you made. They are soaking the Government for subsidy payments and give you near worthless coverage. I had a stroke in mid Jan. 2018. Went to my primary care 2 days after and thought they would react promptly. Instead the Dr. questioned me as though I was making up the story and calmly said she would order a referral.

I have been enrolled in Florida Blue for over 5 years and this year when we chose our plan through the marketplace we thought we would be all set. Made the payment before January and heard ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from them so we figured same cards no problem. We were wrong. My wife became very sick in the middle of January and we try to go to our Dr to get her help but we were then told unexpectedly that our insurance was inactive. I told them there was no way because we had chosen the same plan as the years before and paid our premium. I called Florida Blue who says the application was denied and that I would need to have the marketplace resend it.

They are a secondary to my Medicare. It sometimes takes a while before you receive your paperwork, but this is probably true of most companies. I do wish doctor's names and procedures were written out, as it is sometimes difficult to remember exactly what was done on only a date being given. It makes it difficult to check for accuracy if you don't have this information.

For more than two years, this site has not functioned properly. I have tried on various devices with various browsers. I have contacted Florida Blue on several occasions. Besides poor customer service, the inability to use the site made shopping for insurance very difficult. Frankly, I only chose this again because there are no viable plans in my marketplace. PLEASE get some competition in here!!!

Retired now, so have a supplemental to medicare a & b. They take care of everything, pay everything, and only at the beginning of the year when I have to pay my portion for the year, do I have to pay anything. The drugs are a little different. They pay all but a small co-pay for generics, and still do give me some discount on those I must take brand. Cannot complain.

They constantly called from their vendors, wanting me to go to seminars and other various meetings. I requested that I be taken off the vendors call list but to no avail. Worst experience I've EVER had with any medical insurance company. There were several other incidents that occurred as well.

My husband and I are self employed and the new plan prices came out for 2018 on October 4, 2017. We have never received anything from the marketplace, after careful consideration we decided not to renew. We took our account off of auto draft. Everything that we received said that we had to put down our first month premium in order for 2018 policy to start. I cancelled the auto draft, wrong. On Jan 1, 2018 an email came saying, "Thank you for your payment." We called them and they said yes it did draft the premium. I asked how when we didn't renew. The customer service rep cancelled our policy as of Dec 31, 2017. He told us we should received a refund in 10 business days. I called back in the middle of month only to be told that it will take 30 days to process our refund. I am very upset. I didn't renew in the first place because we really couldn't afford it. They assure me it's cancelled.

Very Unhappy with my experience with them. I have been a loyal customer for many years, even paying for it when I really qualify for assistance. I got conned by a salesman and decided to try a different Ins. Well I decided real quick I made a mistake. I paid for Dec. then Jan. would start the new ins. which I kindly cancelled by the 20th. When I called Blue Cross and Apologized for making a mistake and I want my old Ins. back they would not help me at all. They kept sending me from dept. to dept. Finally one said if I paid for Jan. (even though I didn't use it, had the other ins) I could just keep my plan. So after thinking about that, nearly 1,000 payment on top of what I paid to the bad ins. (I can’t get back.)

I called Florida Blue to get a new primary care. I had talked to Watson Clinic about a primary care that was taking new patients and they gave me a name. I tried to get Florida Blue to assign me him, but they would not. Something needs to be done to them.

I have gone through my first back surgery, results or not good, my pain level is now through the roof, my second surgery was scheduled which has been denied from an insurance company I pay a premium to with a very high deductible. They want me to stay on pain management which does not work. I have a wife and children and being on pain medication does not fix me. All it does is push me farther away from the people I love. My doctor has told me this surgery will fix me and you guys have declined it, there's an ** epidemic and the United States of America and you folks, are taking my Wheel of Life Away From Me.

Horrible! Horrible! The most Horrible experience to talk and to deal with! Stay away from this one! The web page is back to the 90s! They need 3 days to fix your log in issues! They telling you that the plan they sold you is not a plan!!! It's just VMDH piece of nothing and doesn't accept by good doctors! You need to pay for everything yourself and still can't explain what for they charge you 650$ every month! If you are going out of Florida Nobody even wants to hear about this kind plan! And MARK my world nothing is gonna change!

Daughter went to Dentist first time in year. She has cavity but dentist can't do anything. Child too scared so sends to Specialists. Insurance refuses specialist charge because exam all ready done by other dentist. Have to wait six months for them to pay for her to have another exam to take care of tooth. So basically let my child tooth get bad before I do anything or pay for it myself. Why pay for insurance then.

I had an issue with the marketplace, Florida Blue agents went above and beyond to help me solve the problem. They do listen to their customers. My experience was very positive. I had insurance with Florida Blue in 2017. I will be happy to do business with them again. I think overall their insurance had a good value. Thanks Florida Blue!

So, I recently moved to FL and had to sign up for new insurance. In my home state, I was covered under Medicaid but as FL never expanded their Medicaid program, I fell into the coverage gap where I make too much, and too little at the same time -- a situation that many have found themselves in, in the state of Florida or any other states that chose not to expand. Therefore, I pay 265 a month which is technically more than I make since I am a full-time student. This plan has not been accepted anywhere I have tried to receive care. Their customer service is terrible, and there are major discrepancies between the care providers that will accept me according to the website, and then following through contacting these doctors -- low and behold, they do not accept MyBlue. On the website itself, I have been assigned a primary care doctor--but only a name and number are listed.

I don't know where to begin, no one knows what they’re doing, I requested a simple claim information sent to be my mail and it's been over 2 months and have yet to receive anything. Called about 15 times and none of so their so called agents speak English, had to spell out every word and be their English teacher to communicate. Just horrible, they also lie to you to get you off the phone. Seems like Blue Cross enjoys making their customer's life miserable.

This company is horrible. None speaks or understands English well and we get different answers every time we call. My husband was sent to emergency while we were out of state and had to stay in hospital for 5 days. Florida Blue will not cover anything. $58,000. They claim my husband was denied because the hospital did not notify them within 3 days of the accident. How were we to know this? We are appealing. Not sure where this will end up. Why are the self employed given such poor choices for health coverage?

I have had to call this company several times. On all 3 occasions I got transferred 5 times or more. They are too big for their own good and their agents are not empowered to solve simple and common account issues. What should take minutes takes hours or days.

Takes forever to speak to someone who can't understand or even speak English. They changed my provider to someone 20 mile away-then when I called to complain and gave my current provider they told me no such person in system. Asked then, "Who the hell have you been paying over the past year?" They couldn't tell me. Took 20 min to find her and put me back to the provider I have been seeing for 5 years. Don't try going online to view your acct. What a joke.

I got this insurance through healthcare.gov. It has been totally useless the year that I have had. Thought I was getting insurance for help with cancer treatments and now have no help and thousands in bills.

I had Florida Blue with my job. After leaving my job was offered cobra, my deductible of 5000 was paid. After being assured if I took the cobra my plan just carriers on and deductible was paid after paying 513.24 month I got EOB telling my deductible is not paid. They went back to see how much of the 5000 was from me and put 2500 deductible on me because my wife did not stay on plan. There was no notification of this change along with being told everything stays as is. This is very deceitful. I am a veteran and kept the insurance because deductible was paid for the year. I could of went to VA free if I was not lied to. Now I have paid 513.24 a month and have to pay my doctor bills on top of it. I could understand if my plan was a $2500 per person but it was not. It was $5000 before a dollar was paid for any bills between my wife and I.
