My main complaint is that the rate goes up each month, as well as the deductible. This is a double whammy, and makes it hard for people on a fixed income. Otherwise I have no complaints against the company.

I had Humana which was horrible. They wouldn't pay for 1/2 of the services I had or needed. They also drove me crazy calling everyday. One problem after another. I switched to Mutual of Omaha and it's been wonderful.

Great 100 percent coverage including your deductible. But the cost is pricey. However even Emergency room or hospital visit won't cost you a penny. My Emergency room bill was $35,000 and I paid $0. I can't afford to pay for the 20 percent on that amount. It's worth the cost.

I researched many part B supplements and felt Mutual of Omaha was the best value for my needs. My agent is Jennifer and she explained all my options and $ for my premiums. She called to let me know my policy was increased $10.00 a month with same excellent coverage for 2020. I can call her anytime and she will get back to me and she know a ton about insurance and is very kind. My advice is be careful as I had at least 20 fake Medicare scammers call me trying to get my SSI number and had my address. Call Mutual of Omaha. They are a safe and trusted company for Supplemental Medicare insurance. IMHO.

I was lucky to have an awesome agent who answered all our questions. So far I cannot complain about anything. Mutual of Omaha has been around for a number of years, and a company you can trust. I think it is important, especially at this time in life, when we are aging and need medical care and can’t afford to pay out of pocket.

I have had Mutual of Omaha Supplemental Insurance since I turned 65. I chose them because they acted like they really wanted my business. The service has been outstanding. I have never had an issue. On the rare times I have had to call to get a question answered, they were very professional and courteous. I am very pleased.

I have been a Medicare Supplement customer of Mutual of Omaha since 2010; My starting premium was $120.12/mo. The premiums have increased several times during each year because of "rising costs and age," and I now find at age 73, my latest premium increase has reached $292.97, not affordable anymore! My medical costs have been very modest.They obviously want to dump this age group! We took the bait of a low starting premium during the Medigap Open Enrollment Period and get trapped, unable to change insurers later without underwriting restrictions/penalties, etc. They have paid as per coverage, but who can afford it anymore!

I called Mutual of Omaha for information. I was not assertive and was walked through the application process. And my credit card was charged for the Part G Medigap. I will have to have a letter from my employer that I am currently insured. That letter along with a part B application will need to be sent or delivered to the social security office. I am unsure how long this will take. I call to cancel the Medigap insurance. The refund will be in the form of a check, ONCE the underwriters review my request for cancellation. I am glad I had this experience, I am choosing another Medicare G provider.

Major problem. Formulary changes every couple of months. Despite medications listed on the most current formulary on Mutual of Omaha Rx site as covered on the Mutual of Omaha Rx Plus Plan they are often rejected as NOT covered. The pharmacy is not told why the medication is not covered. This means that I have to then call Mutual of Omaha Rx which is a hassle. When calling I have to tell the rep what page number the medication is on, spell it for them only to have them tell me it's not covered when the formulary that it is listed on is only 20 days old. I then ask, "Is there a specific manufacturer that you cover." Mind you this is already a generic medication. Then after further investigation the rep says, "Oh it is covered but only a certain manufacturer."
So now it's another trip to the pharmacy and having to tell the pharmacist which manufacturer that Mutual of Omaha Rx will cover. So then they have to re-fill the prescription with one from that manufacturer and try to run the prescription through again. This is Not customer friendly. This happened to me last month too on a different medication. Same scenario. If Mutual of Omaha only covers certain manufacturers they need to list the manufacturer on the formulary and also tell the pharmacy. These are not brand name drugs, they are generics which makes it all the more frustrating. I expect more out of Mutual Of Omaha. I will switch RX plans when we are allowed to at the end of the year because quite frankly either Mutual of Omaha or Express Scripts that manages it don't have their act together. Very disappointing.

I enrolled with Mutual of Omaha at age 65 in August 2018 for my supplemental insurance. This was my initial enrollment. I selected plan G. I was told by my broker/agent this was a good company. Things have gone well until June 2019. Then I received a letter from MOO stating my premium for the second year was going to increase by 18%. I called thinking this was a mistake. It was not a mistake. I was told by the customer rep that "well, you had $10,000 in claims this past year." I don't think my claims should have anything to do with my future premium. She also told me "well we are good, you know good ain't cheap and cheap ain't good." My broker/agent found me a new supplemental insurance supplier for about the same price as my first year insurance premium with MOO. The new company has a BETTER consumer rating than MOO. Luckily, I did not have any health issues and could answer the questions with ease. Goodbye MOO.

I signed up for Plan F when I turned 65 because of the lack of a deductible. However, I have paid nearly $1000 every year to save a $185 deductible in North Carolina. I tried to switch to a Plan G (which is exactly the same plan except for the deductible). I was denied the opportunity to switch because of my medical history even though I have been with your company since 2013. Plan F will no longer have new enrollees in 2020 - which will drive folks without major medical issues out of Plan F. That will then drive up rates for this plan, which is already overpriced. How is this fair? Both my husband and I are getting ready to switch to a different carrier since I have been approved for a Plan G. Thanks for everything, Mutual of Omaha.

I contracted a ride in accordance with the required lead time with MTM and on the day needing service even called to confirm my ride. My ride never showed, I called the number given and was told I was not on their manifest and I should call MTM. I called and was left on hold with no response. I placed 4 frantic calls because I was now past my scheduled surgery check in time, each time being put on hold with no help. Amber at MTM “graciously” offered to call my Surgeon to say I was late because my ride didn’t show? Not sure what that was supposed to accomplish because she still didn’t arrange a ride. I did finally get other transportation on my own. I never did get any help from MTM but later in the day I called for an explanation.
Shanon ** an escalation supervisor said I should file a grievance, which I already did, but that the “good news was that she would reverse the 2 trip charges “. Of course my response was Seriously you were going to charge me for not getting a contracted and confirmed ride? And she responded “Yes, after all Valley Transport never notified them they weren’t picking me up”. Ok that makes no sense at all. Did they think I was frantically calling while in the car with Valley Transport? Anyway medical transportation is not much of a benefit when you are left without a ride and no help from MTM. Leaving people stranded does seem to be a common practice with transport companies. It is more stressful than it is beneficial. I have no issues with Mutual of Omaha at this time but consider carefully who you select if transportation is important in making an insurance provider decision like it was with me.

Updated on 05/03/2019: Most frustrating company in the world. I submitted a one-star review. They asked for my phone #, which I provided. Then they claimed the issue was "Resolved." Inaccurate and insulting.
Original Review: I received a letter informing me that my credit card was rejected for automatic payment. I went to the website, and was able log in to my Mutual of Omaha supplemental medical insurance, but not the website for my Mutual of Omaha Rx insurance. So, I called the number at the top of the letter. This was a number-initiated auto answer service would not accept any number entered. "0" took me to an operator who asked for my "Member number", although the letter from the selfsame company did not include that information.
After name, ss# and zip code, she identified me and told me I had the wrong location, and she transferred me to Express Scripts. The Express Scripts person asked me for my name, ss# and zip code. Then he told me I'd have to be transferred to premiums. I oppose government-sponsored insurance. However, even the government could not invent a system as convoluted as this. I sit here listening to Muzak while on hold, hoping someone at Mutual/Express Scripts will accept my payment.

Recently I had recently applied for a Mutual of Omaha Medicare supplement policy only for them to deny my application over a phone interview. I honestly told the reviewer I am generally in good health only suffering with low back arthritic pain and sciatica issues that was successfully maintained by medication and physical therapy. Myself along with millions of other people have some form of back pain that can be easily maintained although a letter followed up stating I have degenerative arthritis and it was the reason I was denied. Possibly because they knew my age and I did not appeal with them to have me as a client. I’m very disappointed with this companies findings having no real justification for their decision.

I, my doctor's office and a preferred pharmacy have spent countless hours on the phone trying to get prescriptions transferred and pre-authorization recognized by pharmacy. This has gone on for over 2 weeks and I have run out of a medication and the advance on the medication, in that time. Paid for a partial refill out of pocket. I tried to use their mail order pharmacy but it (Express Scripts) has policies that concern me. So I tried to get prescriptions moved to local pharmacy. Each agency said the problem was with the other one. Don't buy a new card the first year it comes out and don't buy this newly released policy until they get the glitches worked out. As of this writing it is still not resolved.

Humana advertised going to an advantage plan. I checked on it and the agent said we would have same coverage as under Mutual of Omaha supp plan G. Jan 23 2019 my wife's eye treatment that was previously covered was no longer covered. The Humana advertisement and MOO ad said if we needed to go back to the previous plans we could do so. It is now Mar 4th and Mutual of Omaha has not reinstated either of us. We had to file for reinstatement and wait for approval. This included two checks for multiple months and letters from Humana showing dates of stoppage before MOO would process our application. I find these requirements penalties for believing a slick sales person but MOO should be helping us get reinstated so we are covered quickly. I am 71 and my wife is 70 and we cannot go to the hospital or see a doctor right now unless we foot the bill.

I had bought a United World Life (a Mutual of Omaha Company) Medicare Supplement, attaching a check to the application. Mutual of Omaha used a fraudulent technique called "double presentment" to cash the check twice, causing a shocking hole in my checking account of over $500. Fortunately, my bank replaced the funds within a day and will be vigorously pursuing Mutual of Omaha to recover these funds. Mutual of Omaha tried to cover this up by sending me a check (which is sitting idle in a drawer) for these funds after they were caught perpetrating this hack, but I am leaving recovery to my bank. I would find it hard to believe that a company of this magnitude could handle a paper check this incompetently.

I applied for supplemental Medicare insurance in New Mexico and was denied because I changed medications about 2 months ago and had checked one box on the application form that does not require any surgeries or hospital time and is not a life threatening situation or will cost you lots of money. I feel your company has profiled me in a negative way without getting all the information. Am I just some kind of statistic for you?? The application was very vague and I received a call from a woman in your company about more "details" but I was not told this was my underwriter who was actually "interviewing" me and going to accept or deny my application.
I answered truthfully but was not aware of your "rules" about having to take a medication for 2 years and that selecting "yes" to one health issue questions (of a long list) on your paperwork would deny me benefits from your company. The underwriter I spoke with who answered the phone seemed to indicate that it was unusual to deny my claim based on the one "yes" on the form and the 2 year med rule, after I explained my doctor changed my meds because I had been on them too long and it was not healthy for me. Then I asked to speak to a supervisor who was hostile, rude, and not receptive to my questions.
As I have said, I feel like your company, who is supposed to provide health benefits to those of us who are on Medicare have really dropped the ball. I was told I now have to provide 2 years of medical information to appeal because I am now in the system of denied. Is there any humane person in your company that actually understands or cares about your supposed mission to provide good healthcare insurance and treat us prospective clients with kindness and care?

We called to cancel coverage after checking with Blue Cross (that he has been with for years). They say a "manager" will call within a week. However, I asked for a name and address to send a cancellation letter. They say, "I'm sorry I'm not aware of any person or address for you to send a letter to." It has been 2.5 weeks, they instantly took out the money from the checking account; but cannot give me an address to send a formal letter. This is too scary that for 17 minutes on the phone this Kris person refused to give me an address to send a letter. She continued to say "I'm not aware of any address to send a letter to, or the person's name".
Now this is for a 65 year old person who has in the past had heart attack and stroke. It is imperative that he have health Insurance. I don't know about what you're looking for, personally I like to deal with a company that can give me a manager's name and address to send a written letter or email or actually be able to speak to a person who may have decision authority. I would think twice about dealing with a company that WILL NOT give you an address. Please look up other reviews. Frankly the reviews I have seen about paying, canceling, phone call returns are exactly why I chose to cancel this in the first place. Thank God we are.

I have stayed with Mutual of Omaha since retirement in 2009. They just jumped my premium from $289 to $486 stating it is age related and or increased cost of covering claims. They have raised the premium steadily since 2009 but this, a 60% increase, was a surprise. I am healthy - no major illnesses or conditions - I take only 25 milligram of ** for blood pressure - have put in very few claims. So it is not health related. For sure I will change - they give you no choice - they obviously want to eliminate this age group. They have been a good company providing good service, but I was also paying a good premium and expected good service. I moved to Florida last year from the Midwest and the location may have something to do with it. Very disappointed because it is now up to me at the age of 73 to find a new carrier.

If I could give a negative rating, I would! Last summer I found myself hospitalized for a big blood clot in my right thigh (deep vein thrombosis), a big blood clot that sat across the top of my left and right lungs (pulmonary embolism), and smaller clots in my lungs. I filed a short-term disability claim with Mutual of Omaha through my employer and that process was nothing short of a nightmare. I had surgery in March and rather than being able to rest and recover, I was being asked to call my doctors for the claims representative and having to defend the seriousness of my medical situation.
Not only has the claims process dragged out, but it has given me much anxiety and frustration; it took months just to get the last month of benefits paid out. My claim has rolled over to long-term and I’m still having issues.

When I signed up for supplemental Medicare 2 1/2 years ago Mutual of Omaha was recommended. My premium was $135.00 a month for plan F. A little over a year ago, I was diagnosed with mild COPD. Shortly after, I received a letter from Mutual of Omaha increasing my premium from $135.00 a month to $203.00 a month. Almost a 50% increase.

My overall experience with Mutual of Omaha has been average or what I would expect from any insurance company. They provide the information required and does make dealing with providers easy and far more pleasant. The company provides a follow up on all payments made including what is paid by Medicare. It also shows what is disallowed and what I would owe if any. It also list the providers and dates of service. However, there is neutral lack of personal contact at any level and I have actually never spoken to a live individual since inception. Nevertheless, it is always helpful especially at end of year tax planning.

Expense worth peace of mind. They pay Medicare deductible and the remaining 20% of what Medicare allows. When I've had concerns about something not being covered, or have not received my summary, they are helpful. They are easy to work with. Medical providers bill Medicare directly and also bill Mutual of Omaha, so rarely do I have to do anything other than wait to see what got covered. All of my doctors like working with them because they pay quickly (once Medicare has done its thing). However, it's expensive; only covers what Medicare allows, nothing else (some companies cover travel expenses, etc.).

The telephone operators were friendly and genuinely seemed to take your side. Also, the phone access was twenty-four hours a day and was an easy to use and navigate call system. Furthermore, the billing department was generally easy to communicate with. However, the experience was horrible. You had to fight tooth and nail for every single item to comprehensively covered. The actual coverage itself was a bonafide joke. Certain medications and procedures were covered were less expensive yet more time-consuming procedures were not. It was as if they were at times just flipping a coin to decide what would be covered and what would not be covered. Also, the supervisors seemed to be unavailable when it came down to a decision needing to be made. It was a difficult process and an exercise in futility.

Mutual of Omaha has covered everything that Medicare did not. Last year I had Mutual of Omaha plan F which costs more than $200 more per year but this year I have Plan G and I have not met the deductible yet. I now have plan G and have only paid $54 so far this year. The monthly premium is much less than plan F that I had last year. I am healthier than most people my age and have tried to make a few more healthier choices to even improve my health. I only have one prescription filled on an annual basis and it is a result of taking the medication called **.

They answer any concerns or questions that I have and they have great people that helps give me the information. But I would change having to go to doctor to get a medicine prescription from my doctor. Nevertheless, the overall experience is good and everything is going really well.

Just wanted to say I have been a client of this companies since 2009 about... I have and will continue to recommend them to all retiring people... They have been there for me in every way... I have had a lot of medical bill and have not had to put out one red cent. They are a fantastic company. Their rates are a bit high but under the circumstances and my health it is still a bargain. You are better to have a plan to cover the extra expense than to not have one. Things in the medical field are not cheap and are not getting any better. Pay the price. Or file bankruptcy. This is no joke. My medicals bills have gone well over $300,000.00. And I have peace of mind knowing it wasn't my part to pay. Thank you Mutual of Omaha.

Mutual of Omaha mails out cancer protection insurance plan and hospitalization plans. When and if something were to occur with your health as it did with mine... Mutual Omaha was dishonest about their cancer policies. When I first took out my policy I was not diagnosed with cancer at the time. But unfortunately when I had my routine mammogram I was positive with breast cancer. They told me that I 'knew' I had breast cancer... Who wants any kind of cancer?

My mother had a accidental death policy through Mutual of Omaha. She died on the 28th February. I diligently called them to let them know she had passed. I was told that any money taken out after her death would be returned. It was by check to her that I couldn’t cash. Upon calling them they refused to help in any way other than saying I had to go get a legal document then faxed to them from the city of LA.
Even though I’d never told them my name they knew who I was, but refused to write a check to someone or deposit the money back in the same account they’d be taking from for years. I spoke to a supervisor who took an attitude right away. Eric was his name. ** I believe... again, called before money was taken from her account, but assured it would be returned. All this attitude for $4.21… but my guess is they would be just as snippy and unconcerned if it had been a larger amount too. I ask the company, what was anybody supposed to do with a check made out a dead person?

Being policy holders for Omaha's Supplemental plan my wife and I received letters telling us to call an 800 number to opt out of their information sharing program. Wanted to stop their frequent solicitation for life insurance, etc. On Nov 17, I called and gave them my policy number and their associate changed mine. Asked to change my wife's. The woman wanted a power of attorney sent to them because it was a policy change if my wife couldn't talk to her. My wife is in her 90's and has dementia. I told her she wouldn't understand her. If it was a policy change, there should be an endorsement sent out to us which I doubt will happen or that it is really a part of the policy. She was just being a mean and obstinate - give some elderly a hard time over an inconsequential matter. Typical big insurance harassment.

My wife and I enrolled with Mutual of Omaha Supplemental Plan F when we retired and recommended the same to family and friends. We maintained the policies for 6 years, through the annual price increases, until this year. We felt the increases were too much, too often so we decided to try another company and different plan...big mistake. Through the years with Mutual of Omaha, we didn't pay anything above the premium and we incurred some pretty steep medical expenses. Not one charge was disputed or, as far as I know, payment delayed. I plan to apply for reinstatement with Mutual of Omaha during the Open Enrollment period at the end of this year. Think about the future when considering insurance plans.

Thanks for sharing you story Robert.

I purchased a supplemental cancer policy through Mutual of Omaha in 2012. In early 2014 I was diagnosed with cancer. The policy agreed to cover radiation, chemotherapy AND ANY ILLNESS RESULTING FROM TREATMENT of the cancer. They ended up paying some on the radiation treatment but NOTHING for the chemotherapy I received. Also, I could not get the hospital (Renown in Reno, NV) to send me an itemized bill saying Mutual of Omaha would need to contact them directly. I did send them what bills I had from the chemo and they clearly stated that they were for chemo. However, Mutual of Omaha flat out refused to pay anything and never contacted me OR the hospital for additional information. Additionally, I was hospitalized after treatment with sepsis and UTI as a DIRECT result of the treatment. Mutual of Omaha refused to pay.
I called them and they said they would review the case and then REFUSED to pay again even after I read them the language in my policy that said they would pay for conditions or illnesses caused by the TREATMENT of the cancer. The claims examiners clearly have NO CLUE about cancer and how sepsis and UTI's are a common side effect from radiation. They kept telling me they don't pay for UTI's and also ignored the "sepsis" diagnosis clearly written on the bill. They continued to ignore the bills for chemotherapy as well. Being so ill, I finally gave up with trying to collect. I think that's what they counted on. I would never recommend Mutual of Omaha to anyone. They should be ashamed of themselves but I doubt they have a conscience.

Was with them for 8 years, never missed a payment. Had to change a bank account number (because of family issues) where their Premiums were paid out of. A check was sent back to Mutual of Omaha because of this. That being my fault which I followed up on. I was told that they would consider reinstatement after doing exactly what they had asked. What a waste of time. I did all that they wanted and then they dug into my health records. If this ever happens to you, you might just as well consider your insurance cancelled. Because we have 2 residence our mail is forwarded and when the notice came it was a little late which took me out of the grace period. However, it was not until the second letter that they had referred to this.
The worst customer service I have ever had. Asked to talk to a supervisor after several phone calls, forget that. They kept wanting me to write and appeal letter of which I did, overnighted 2 of them at the cost of 24 dollars each. I had to have back surgery over a year ago which they obviously approved or I couldn't have had it. Now this was their reason for taking my insurance "out of force." After that I had cataract surgery which they approved. Why would they approve this if they had planned to drop me? Often wondered after this why Medigap insurance. Especially from this company, which I changed over to 8 years ago as my agent told me "they never let you down". What a mistake that was. Absolutely no consideration. They have been a pain.
This is what happens when you become a senior. So be careful with this inconsiderate company. Anything they can find to drop your insurance I am sure makes them pleased, especially when you are a senior citizen. Thanks for listening. If lawyers were not so expensive I would take this to one. But now I will just look for another secondary insurance company. Thanks for listening.

In trying to check on benefits for one of my clients today, I went through the worst customer service experience with an insurance company I have had to date. When I called the number on the insurance card I was directed to check their website for benefits and eligibility, which I did. However, the website failed to explain if this person had hearing aid benefits or not, so I tried calling their customer service number again. At that point, after going through more automated menus than I can count, I was simply read what the website had already told me but still was not the information I needed.
At no point could I get an operator on the line. So, I went back to the website again and found a way to submit my question to them that way, which I did. More than 2 hours later I received an email from them, but in order to access this email I had to create a "secure account" requiring me to sign up with an email and a password (seems phishy to me).
After jumping through a few more hoops, I was then finally able access this "secure email" which simply told me that all of the information I needed was on their website and to go check there... WHICH I HAD ALREADY DONE!!! BUT, if I still could not find the answer, I could call their 1-800 number, which conveniently is only open for 5 hours a day and was closed at that point. Ugh... At this point, I sent them a reply to their email telling them all of the steps I had taken and that their customer service was the worst I had ever dealt with. I sincerely hope they don't treat their customers as poorly as they treat the providers!!
I had checked your website first and could not see ANY information on there regarding hearing aid benefits. When I then tried to call your provider help line for further clarification, I was simply tossed into a loop that read the benefits that were posted on the website and did not allow for further assistance which is why I then emailed my question to you. Your reply conveniently was sent AFTER your provider help line closes for the day, and so in total my efforts to get information for my patient were completely useless. Being a provider that works primarily with the elderly population and deals with many Medicare gap insurance companies, I can safely say this is the most unhelpful insurance company I have ever dealt with, and you will never receive a good review from me. God help your clients... They will need it in their dealings with your company if you treat them as poorly as you treat providers.

She went to the get her coffee and I followed shortly but she called and said she had fallen. When I got to her, she was having trouble breathing so I called her son and an ambulance. She was on the floor and told me she had tripped on her dogs rag doll, fell hitting her head on a 3 tier coffee table and chest on wooden chair arm. Then she quit breathing and I told the 911 operator. The ambulance arrived but they could get no response so they took her to the ER where she was pronounced DOA. Later I filed a claim as the death certificate said "Her injuries due to Fall" with a off note at the bottom that she had had Cancer.

They met with the insurance adjuster and got it approved; not all the damage, but more than the initial settlement. When I got the check, they asked for a copy of what was paid for and my bank information, which made me wonder why they needed my bank info. I took a second look at the contract and found out the contract was really against what I would consider normal business practice. No estimate on what they will charge the total, only said insurance proceeds.
They can put a lien on my property if "they" don't pay the company that supplies materials or labor. I have to provide them with my financial information on the mortgage and I can't contract any additional work to my home without "their" approval by any other contractor. There's a lot more to this, but all of these made it feel like they were a shady company. I looked on BBB, they have complaints for poor quality work and never resolved complaints.

The dollars do not matter. What does matter is they are not listening or letting me talk to anyone who knows and has common sense. Here's an example. One policy says for 1st year $123.40 is due 6/3/2011. I got billed $163.20. In 2 pages of the policy, it definitely says first year $123.40 then 84 years @ $163.20 yearly. I asked them to explain to me why it says that in 2 pages of the policy. No one can answer that.
After a while they all sounded like parrots. You paid $1.00 for the first 3 months, then you pay $163.20 from then on. They cannot answer the question "why does it say that in 2 pages of my policy?" Two of them said, "We don't write the policies." So I said, "Alright, I'll talk to someone who does and can give me a good and correct explanation." Their answer is they can't do that. They don't talk to anyone. I cannot talk to someone higher up. I called what I thought was customer relations, but can't talk to anyone really in charge. Their attitude? "Oh well." I called back and told them to cancel both policies and I will go elsewhere. I also told them I'm making formal complaints to BBB, Consumer Affairs and the Nevada Dept of Insurance. Also, that I am writing to the corporate headquarters. I'll send the letter; however,who does it go to? I wonder if this company knows what's going on or really cares?

If we wanted disability insurance we had to go with Mutual of Omaha.
It took 68 days for them to finally pay short term disability. I received checks for six weeks and now the policy is going into long term. Now after another 35 days without income, they are denying my claim for long term, stating they need to go back further into my records. I have gotten them every record they have ever requested. Had it not been for the displacements of my hip and the two blood clots and the last surgery in September, I would be back to work now. They are saying because I didn't have a long term policy two years ago, I do not qualify. Every time I call, they say they need to review it. I have talked to so many people, every day it is in another review board. They have every one of my medical records. It is very frustrating. The doctor will not release me for another seven weeks.

They sent letters apologizing for their decision noting that they were aware that the clients would not get other coverage due to their health status. However at the time of cancellation they were STILL writing another individual health policy, My research of the HIPPA Section 2742 pgs. 48-49, Subsection (C) REQUIREMENTS FOR UNIFORM TERMINATION OF COVERAGE section B (the insurer offers to each individual)on reveal that by law they would have had to offer this policy to its insured. THEY DID NOT.
When I called Robert Mancuso, First VP Policy Client Services he made it abundantly clear that he could not help and directed me to our Insurance and Banking Department. They said I would have to go to the 'market' to replace the insurance. Since then I have been unable to obtain coverage that does not impose pre-existing conditions. I have letters written by the Government of Vigin Islands to a Mr. Carmody for names of clients that were left without coverage. They simply did not answer in direct violation of the requests.

I am a self employed carpenter,and have had a health and accident policy with Mutual of Omaha for many years. After marrying, my wife and I decide to combine our policies in July. of 2000. At that time we bought and continue to pay for a policy that was supposed to provide us with equal coverage.
In March of 2003 I fell while working on a job and fractured my right collar bone. I was out of work for aprox. 6 weeks. While the insurance provided most of the coverage for the medical bills,I was told that the policy did not cover me for disability, only my wife. Upon reviewing the policy I found a copy of the document that I signed and dated entitling me to disability coverage of about $125 dollars per week.
I forwarded these copies to my agent who then informed me that, yes, I would recieve my disability for the six weeks that I was out of work. I was instructed to make copies and mail them along with some other info. to the main office in Omaha.
This was done in a timely fashion but I recieced no check. I have called the main office a number of times since then and after explaining the entire scenario time and again,I am always assured that the person I talk to will get with thier supervisor and then get back to me.
It's been six months and no one has gotten back to me or sent the check. So I'm registering this complaint out of frustration. I beleive I'm being put off in the hope that I will just get tired and give up trying to get the money that is owed tome.
