When I was working, there was a fellow that had this plan for his mother, and he sold it. He told me that it was very good and you'll never get a bill. He explained the whole process so I bought it. The couple of times I've talked with the representatives, I've never had a problem. They’ve been able to answer my questions that they didn't know they would find out. So far, I've had them several years, and I've never gotten a bill. I've been in the hospital a couple of times.
When choosing a provider, people should understand the plan, what it covers and what it doesn’t. If Medicare doesn’t approve something, then United American won't cover it. As long as your primary takes care of it, they’d pick up the rest. They raise their rates time to time, but that should be expected. They've done everything they're supposed to do. In fact, when my mother's insurance expired, they wouldn't cover, I bought the same plan for her. Since she's older, it's a little more money. But she's very happy with it also.

I had United American at work and I've kept it ever since I retired in '99. I keep on paying and I haven't gotten much lately, up 'til now. It was extremely good. I got caught by that COVID-19, and it hit me hard, but I'm about to get well now.
Carol, we hope and pray you're doing well and continue to recover from COVID. We sincerely appreciate you and the trust you’ve placed in United American over the years. Thank you for being a loyal customer and we look forward to serving you again in the future!
United American pays Darlene's bills. Her main concern is they pay the bills. United helps pay for her dialysis. If she was with the new Advantage Medicare, she would be stuck with the 20%. And that's not good because each one of those sessions are over $5,000. If she was to go into the hospital or get lab work, having to take care of her bills when it comes through has been smooth. And if I had a question, I can always call United. Or first I call Medicare and they make me understand what the bill is. And that's when they would say, “Well, her second insurance should take care of it.” And when I do, it doesn't come back to us. We're happy.
From the very beginning, their person who did the seminar was amazing, because it made me understand. Taking care of Darlene, I'm looking out for her benefits as if it was for me. How most elderly people look at their insurance is they don't want to pay so much. They want the cheapest. But the cheapest doesn't always pay everything in advance. For example, even when I tried to tell Darlene about it, she did not want to change because she’s used to being deducted 70 some dollars out of her Medicare to pay for her insurance. And then when this United came in, it went from 78 to 100 and some dollars.
I said, “Okay, here. You weigh it out. Write down how many times you go into the emergency room, go to your doctor's appointment and pay your co-pay, and you have to go in and pay for your lab works. You tally all those up for the whole year, not including the times you go into the hospital as far as your emergency coverage. Is it less than this 100? Take this 100 and some odd dollars, times 12 for one year, and you tell me which is cheaper.” And when she did, she said, “You're right. It's a lot cheaper.” I said, “Look. You get in the ambulance, you don't pay anything. You go to the hospital, you don't pay anything.”
She had to go to a home for physical therapy. Medicare only pays the first 21 days. Thereafter, you are responsible for the remainder if you still need physical therapy. And by having United health insurance, it was the best insurance she ever invested. We not only use this here in Florida. When we were in Albuquerque, she had her own room. She could eat in her own room. If she doesn't want, she can go out to the dining room. And the utensils were not paper plates, paper cups and plastic forks. It was forks, knives, spoons and dinnerware. That's how good the insurance was, that she was able to use it. And that was the most peaceful mind that I didn't have to worry about who was going to pay what. It was all taken care of. United is great.

It’s always a pleasure serving and protecting our valued customers and happy that you're satisfied with the time you've been with us! We appreciate you letting us know how we’re doing and look forward to serving you again in the future!
When we got the insurance, the guy that we talked to was excellent and explained everything very well. I've recommended United American to multiple people and I explained to them why I use this insurance and how good it is.
Karol, thank you for taking the time to let us know how we're doing! Excellent customer service is a top priority and we're happy that the information was explained well and in a thorough manner. We look forward to serving you in the future and we appreciate you choosing United American for your supplemental health coverage!
This company has done everything in its power to prevent paying out a very small $4000 life insurance policy that my mother had. They have lied to me, hung up on me and made it as difficult as possible. They told me to VOID the check they sent me and they would send one made out to her and guess what - they sent back the voided check that is not able to be used at all. After dealing with them SINCE MARCH they told me I was giving them the wrong address - and hung up on me. Somehow - they will pay this money she worked so hard for all of her life!
Tina, we're very sorry for the passing of your mother and we send our sincere condolences to you and your family. We'd like to investigate your mother's death claim further but need you to please send us via PRIVATE response your mother's name, her policy #, your phone #, and the best time to contact you. We apologize for this unacceptable interaction with our UA representative and look forward to hearing back from you with the needed information.
United American Insurance just went up a whole bunch of money on me, but I guess that's because of my age. I’ve had it that long. Also, I'm legally blind. They didn't need to send me a whole lot of stuff to read because I can't. But it's okay. If I had a question, I just call a phone number I've got and ask questions if I want to know something.
Dianne, we appreciate your review of United American because listening to your feedback will allow us to improve the process of helping secure and deliver supplemental financial protection for our customers. Thank you for reaching out to us and we look forward to continuing to serve you for many years to come.
I've been with United American for many years and when I go to the doctor, the bill gets submitted and they pay for it.
Maxine, it’s always a pleasure serving and protecting families with our supplemental financial coverage! We appreciate you letting us know how we’re doing and look forward to serving you again.
United American has made going through them so easy. Sometimes, I get their payment sooner than Medicare's. Also, I can pay them by the year, quarterly, or half of it. And they let me know in plenty of time when I have to pay. One time, I skipped and called them. They said "okay", and they put me back on. I have been with them for many years since I was 65. I'm 88 now. They take care of everything. I have nothing but good things to say about them.
Barbara, thank you for your review. We appreciate you and the trust you’ve placed in United American for your supplemental health protection. Our goal is always to provide excellent service to our policyholders and we're happy you're a satisfied customer. We look forward to serving you in the future!
