      Sounds like a LOT of 1 stars. BCBS is a little expensive, but you have to shop your plan intelligently. Bottom dollar plans get bottom dollar coverage. They have never failed me in 10 years.

      I wouldn't even give them 1 star. The worst BCBS in the country. Online info is incomplete. The VRU forces you to go through system to get answers which are not available on the VRU or Blue E. Almost impossible to get a representative on the phone. Today I finally got someone on the phone who after several minutes answered the phone and told me she couldn't help me. She said my call was transferred to a line where no one was there to answer. She said she couldn't help me she just picked up the phone (headset) when she hear me saying hello. She then hung up on me. Just unacceptable.

      I recently contacted the Customer Service Line for the Federal Employee Program the people there are so helpful they were so patient with me and helping me understand my bill. Kindness goes along way and I am grateful that when I needed someone to talk to and help me that they were so helpful during these hard times.

      An absolute joke. If you have any other option do not use them. I’m a diabetic and they won’t pay for my insulin pump supplies for multiple more days bc they say it hasn’t been long enough but I’m completely out. Not really a medicine you can do without- guess I’ll just try not to die until they think it’s been an appropriate amount of time. Mind you my prescription was up on 8/7 and it’s now 8/19.

      Our Member Services team has been in direct communication with the member, addressing any questions they may have. We have also clarified that their pharmacy benefits are managed by a separate entity, to whom their request must be submitted directly. Nevertheless, we have coordinated with both the member and the relevant entity to facilitate the progress of this matter.

      The Worst!!! First i put in a request to see what was covered as instructed on their website. No reply. Second request - no reply. Third request - no reply. So i finally found a phone number and the gentle man told me it was covered. Then a day later i get a reply to my web request and said it was not covered. Then i get a call back from the gentleman telling me it was not covered, and he made a mistake. i then get an EOB on 4/15/2024 from a procedure on 8/21/23. because it's so late i cannot use my flexible benefits to pay a 2000$ unexpected bill. I call to find out why it took so long. Lots of typing noises and ok's - then after this for 20 minutes, she hangs up on me. I call back and am put on hold again and they can't find the procedure or any information. Going on 25 minutes now with no reply. WTH. Absolutely the worst! I had something show up on a routine X-Ray(mammogram) which was covered. then it became diagnostic and further imaging was not covered. Unbelievable, I think if they would have covered the type of imaging needed in the first place we could have skipped the xray.

      ZERO STARS (if that was a category)! BCBS is a JOKE! For an insurance company to make the sole decisions regarding my health, then WHY go to a doctor? Are the doctors not the ones writing the prescriptions and should be the responsible party to refer me to a specialist because the doctor sees that I have the need? Well sure, however, BCBS has folks that look at a scripts and codes (no matter if you've been taking the meds for years) to turn around and DENY it. I've NEVER had such HORRIBLE INSURANCE in my life!!! There is NO such thing as preventative care for your body. The insurance company WANTS you to have high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and all these other issues so the insurance company can continue to GET MORE AND MORE MONEY!!! They are a scam! Have you ever heard of an insurance company filing bankruptcy or going out of business? NO! Because the insurance company continues to rip off people day in and day out and deny them needed medical...that they are paying for!!! My doctor has a PHD, not the person sitting at the desk at BCBS denying all of my claims!!! The doctors can't be doctors any longer with insurance companies like this one. Anyone that I talk to, I ALWAYS TELL THEM TO NEVER GET BCBS...worst insurance EVER!

      Horrible Insurance. We only got this health insurance short term until our PEBA insurance kicked in. They automatically re enrolled us after my husband called and cancelled it. We did not find out that they actually kept us enrolled until we received our tax statement! We have not used this insurance at all during the past year because we were told it was cancelled and did have multiple provider appointments that we paid out of pocket for!

      I called from South Carolina and spoke to Denise in the claims department. She is so rude and would not listen to anything I had to say. This needs to be fixed.

      BCBS of SC is the worse insurance. I pay for a PPO and it does not cover any of the Doctors I go to even though they are all employees of Duke Raleigh. They never told me that they were not covered.
