    Mind you Blue Cross and Blue Shield is based in Florida. Why are we getting people on the phone from India? Put me on hold for a hour. All I asked was my coverage begin date. You love us enough to take our money but hate us enough to give our business to people that basically can't understand English.

    They have made a horrendous error in my dependent's name leading to her not having coverage and she has a neurological condition. They have been emailed twice and had two different phone calls, one of which I had to wait 45 minutes to even speak to someone. Days later still no change or resolution to her name being corrected. Her name was the same as last year.

    Horrible Medicare Advantage policy. I have been with Florida Blue for 7 years and they used to be great. Now all they do is deny or delay desperately needed procedures and you have to fight for help. Customer service has now been outsourced to non English speaking people who know nothing. Sadly I am stuck with them until open enrollment this October and I'm leaving and hope to find a better company. I do not recommend.

    Florida Blue (myBlue) is the worst Health insurance I ever Had, I use to pay $48.00 every months in 2025 and they rise up $130.00 a months this year without no reason, no explanation. No one call me to ask me if I agree with it, no one answer the phone calls on customer service. Always the repeating the same things (if trying to make a payment, say or mark a number and they transfer your call to the payment department) but any other question you wait for ever and no one answer the phone. Quit from this, the worst Health insurance I ever had.

    This has to be the worst customer service in the history of any company I’ve ever seen. Not only do they offer horrible plans if you’re looking for an affordable option but they constantly ignore you and keep you waiting for hours at a time. I honestly cannot remember a time I was able to talk to an operator in less than 45 minutes of wait. Please bring your money elsewhere, where they’ll actually answer you at a reasonable time. If I wasn’t hospitalized I wouldn’t have time to wait this long, and they didn’t even answer

    You know how companies like UPS hire seasonal workers? Florida Blue does the same thing. So when the seasonal worker "agent" submits your application and gives you bad information which results in your super expensive policy not being activated in time to cover an emergency, THEY DON'T CARE at all. "Sorry for the inconvenience" is the same thing as saying, "I hope your son doesn't mind pissing blood for a few more days until our system updates."

    I have UnitedHealthcare for 2025. I switched to Florida Blue for 2026 due to lower price. I called their support for billing questions several times and was put on hold for 50+ minutes, I gave up. I will stay with Florida Blue for Jan 2026 and go back to UnitedHealthcare for the remaining 2026 through Market Place. Yes, it will cost a bit more but who wants to deal with NO support when you need help.

    Have to agree with most reviews. Terrible customer service for the most part. People that speak poor English or pretend to understand what you are speaking about. I am a retired nurse who worked in a doctor's office previous to becoming a nurse and am familiar with billing and claims as well as knowing the healthcare part. I have made many calls on behalf of myself and family members and these people do not know how to do their jobs.

    Numerous denials of procedures for my son that he desperately needs without giving him guidance as to what he should do when 3 different doctors from 3 separate offices have told him what he needs to fix the chronic pain he has had since a hernia repair almost 2 years ago. They approved the initial hernia surgery and nothing since. We have appealed and even requested external appeal without success as they still deny. I am just as frustrated with his doctors who refuse to participate in the appeal process. Everybody is too busy and uninformed to actually take care of the patient.

    With a 7k deductible, we know we are going to pay out of pocket for everything anyway, then it gets denied and we can't even get the Blue shield discount! Unfortunately we will be stuck again in 2026 due using ** and the increased costs and lack of providers on the other plans. We only have a partial year before we start Medicare and at least I know I will not be choosing Florida Blue as a part of that fiasco! Unfortunately for our son, he is unable to work and needs some kind of healthcare so he is stuck. Quite a shame because growing up in the 60s and 70s in Michigan, Blue Cross and Blue Shield was the Gold Standard. I guess that is why I chose them in the first place. Now I know better.

    From the moment we arrived, my partner and I arrived at the Florida Blue location by The Falls in Miami, FL, we knew it was a mistake. To start, we arrived to a loud DJ playing music in the parking lot. The bass from the noise was heard even during the appointment with the agent. Walking through the doors to the facility, we were greeted by a staff member that was more interested in giving us free meal vouchers than getting us a meeting with a staff member to discuss my health insurance coverage. The food truck that was in the parking lot, next to the obnoxiously loud DJ, served burgers that were absolutely inedible and looked questionable in quality.

    Furthermore, the agent that attended us, Alex, was rude and impolite the entirety of our visit. After trying to sell us on an HMO plan, Alex was obviously upset that we were not willing to agree to that plan. He slammed the door repeatedly on my partner, clearly indicating his displeasure. Alex became even more visibly upset when I asked to be shown a cheaper PPO plan for my health insurance, and did not offer to do the math and compare my prior plan’s new cost to another, practically rushing us both out of his office once we said we needed more time to read the fine print and review our options. His actual words to us when we asked him if he would be present over the weekend to aid us with our selection, his exact words were “I won’t be here, someone else will help you. It isn’t my problem.”

    In summary, I strongly urge anyone that is considering to come to this location, or even to use Florida Blue as a health insurance, to think twice and reconsider. This place is an absolute sham and an embarrassment. They should be ashamed at how they treat their own clients with this blatant misuse of our premiums, all on display for the public to see.

    Unfortunately all you read about this company is true in my experience. The customer service agents are poorly trained and many speak poor English. I could not have been clearer in the reasoning for my call but the agent could not understand after repeating myself twice. I asked for a manager. 15 minutes later was connected; explained my need and he said “one moment” and hung up. A great company until you need something. Then be prepared to be very disappointed. It is like the phone service industry. Is there a better option. Answer: probably not. They are likely all just as bad. Choose your poison.

    I finally disenrolled for Florida Blue and chose another insurance carrier for my Medicare Advantage plan for 2026. Florida Blue has gotten so bad over the years, taking benefits away from Medicare members. On my Medicare Advantage plan, they raised the maximum amount of out-of-pocket from approximately $6000 to over $9000 per year for in-network providers. They took away completely for 2026 the over-the-counter allotment per quarter. Most of the customer service representatives are out of the country and struggle with the language. Many are not well-trained and give you wrong information. I don’t know how to find the correct information. I believe they are the worst insurance at least for Medicare patients, in the state of Florida.

    The former CEO of Florida Blue Pat Geraghty working out of the corporate office in Jacksonville, Florida, was given a total salary package of $3 million a year. Could you imagine the CEO taking away benefits from Medicare Advantage plan recipients and he taking in $3 million a year for the time he was CEO, which I believe was several years. The company obviously does not care about its Medicare members. All they want to do is just reject, deny procedures, surgeries, effective medications, and cut benefits. The company should be ashamed of their business practices.

    To be honest, I chose Florida Blue because it was cheap, and my health was excellent. In the last year I had a couple injuries that forced me to visit the doctor to evaluate the situation, and that was with Sanitas. The people at Sanitas are usually very kind and helpful, but when it came to getting anything done like x-rays or MRI to see exactly what was going on they made it very difficult to do so. Doctor's appointments were 4 to 5 weeks out, and that was the same with the x-ray, again with the MRI and finally to see a specialist. And that being said, they did not approve the MRI (which cost me almost $600) that was needed to address a hand related issue preventing me from working.

    It was almost 3 months to get to the specialist to find out what was wrong with my hand. If it was more serious (grateful that it wasn't) his could have caused irreversible damage to my hand not getting treatment in time. I experienced this same exact "jumping through hoops" with two separate injuries this year, the most concerning was my hand. I would NOT recommend Florida Blue, even to my worst enemy, not that I have any. They have fought me at every step of the way. It's as if they don't want to help people at all. Avoid them if you want to keep your health. Luckily I found a great insurance representative that helped me find a fantastic insurance company that takes care of their clients. It was well worth the $99 fee working with the agent.

    Why it takes 3 weeks for this company to facilitate a prior authorization with your doctor is beyond me. Why the Prime Therapeutics Pharmacist doesn't have the decency to call you back when call drops after waiting 15-20 minutes to speak with him in the first place is beyond me as well. Why the operator just cuts you off and transfers you with no further word when you ask for a supervisor is beyond me. Why you are promised escalation (after 5 phone calls) only to be told later that that operator is not authorized to promise that is beyond me as well... What does it add up to? Really crappy customer service. *Note request for my prior authorization of a prescription has taken 3 weeks and still not completed... and it's not like I don't need the medication.

    Blue Cross Blue Shield and their little sidekick Evolent are absolute garbage. All they do is deny, delay, and screw people over. They just denied my knee and back MRIs for no legitimate reason, yet somehow approved my wife’s MRI for the exact same pain issue. What a joke. We pay over $20,000 a year for this so-called “coverage,” and all we get is stonewalling, excuses, and denial after denial.

    I had them for four and a half years or so and everything was great until they never sent me a notice stating that because of my income change they would be charging me a good bit. Not only did I have the bronze they still wanted me to pay a bunch of money on it because my income went up a little bit. Also I went back and forth with marketplace and the actual insurance company and marketplace was willing to forgive me and reinstate me for a one-time thing. If I was to pay $111 then they would have gave me my insurance back no problem. But the actual insurance company the main office or whatever it is that is separate from the marketplace. Was all about telling me that oh it's going to be more than that there's a bunch to it and sending me through person through person and endless loophole.

    Marketplace gave me the code or whatever to show that they were going to reinstate me if I just pay the fee. But the other side of the insurance kept arguing with it so I just gave up and want nothing to do with them anymore. When you have the same company with two sides with it going against each other and telling the consumer one thing and then another is saying something completely different. They were great at first seemed like they cared about people but then when it came about any little money that you make more of oh let's go ahead and charge him and get as much as we can out of him. It seems like the main insurance part of the company not marketplace they've been great the whole time. Just turned into greedy people especially if your paycheck to paycheck they're acting like they're the government where anytime somebody's making more money oh we're going to take that extra from them.

    Also on top of that they said that my insurance was cut off due to non payments which didn't even know about because I was originally paying nothing and every bill would just say zero so I quit checking them. Don't ever do that because they will not notify you until you've already owed a bunch of money. After all that with the new open enrollment open now for healthcare plans they're sending me another one acting like I'm going to go through them. They screwed me out of my medication and my doctor's appointment because it would have cost an arm and leg just to get my med refills.

Daniell went above and beyond to help resolve an ongoing issue regarding reimbursement for claims I had to submit on my own. She took the time to thoroughly research my case, communicate with both the surgery center and the doctor’s office, and make sure everything was handled correctly. I had paid over $7,000 out of pocket, and Daniell’s patience, professionalism, and genuine care made a world of difference.

For the last three weeks, I’ve been chasing down a vaccine like it’s some kind of scavenger hunt, and they still cannot provide a single location. The staff has absolutely no awareness of the current situation in Florida or the reality of how the governor and state government are actively restricting vaccine access.

    Avoid these scam artists. Horrible coverage and even worse customer service. I have been repeatedly denied coverage for a medically necessary medication for well over a year, even though a coworker who is in much better health had the same medication covered. Trying to resolve the problem is hopeless, as you will get different conflicting answers from each person you speak with. I received an email asking if I wished for a specialist to contact me to which I replied yes, and all they did was to keep sending me the same survey, or to call their number on the back of the card. Just disgraceful. I hope these cheap crooks will at least send flowers to my wife at my funeral because obviously they prefer you to die than help the doctor to treat you.

Their coverage is awful, and heaven forbid your doctors stop taking their insurance because they will send you to a patient mill where you're treated like a number instead of a person.
