Re: D. Blake 4/10/1946 mmbr# 997134362 UHC Plan 1 (PPO).
I received a supplemental bill today from AARP Medicare Advantage UHC for $42.00 for January 2024. I have made no changes to my plan for 2024 and did not have this supplemental bill in 2023 . . .?? I was told by an advocate in the "Escalation" dept. that the UHC Plan 1 (PPO) had been discontinued and was replaced with AARP Medicare Aadvantage UHC PPO. Identical plan, but with a new name and a $42.00 supplemental bill (per month) in addition to the normal 3 or 4% increase thru Social Security. WTF? How do you justify a 25% increase.
We received the letter from UnitedHealthcare. It is announced that the rate for our AARP UHC Supplemental Insurance plan N will increase 12.4% for the year 2024. The inflation rate in June was 3%, in July 2023 3.3%. How can the medical insurance get the rate increase 4 times higher than the inflation rate? Who profits from such a business decision? Who cares about retirees with a fixed income?
What does AARP do to protect American retired persons from greedy insurers? Or the AARP activity is advertisement only?
UHC STOPS AARP/UHC MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE. This LIFE-THREATENING, FINANCIALLY DEVASTING NO AARP UNITED HEALTH CARE (UHC) MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH INSURANCE HAPPENS BECAUSE UHC CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS are untrained or do not know what's required to insure your coverage continues. When monthly premium(s) are not accepted/not paid according to UHC, UHC WILL NOT TELL YOU via EMAIL, A CALL, OR TEXT that YOUR COVERAGE STOPS DUE TO NONPAYMENT. UHC says you have a 30-day 'grace period' to make payment'; this is not true all the time. My one-time payments two months in a row were recorded as paid by UHC and then reversed; THIS MEANT I HAD NO COVERAGE - I checked online... Read More
I just returned from the pharmacy where I was told that my insulin glargine would be $569.00 for an 86 day supply. This does include my deductible, so future purchases would go down. The amlodipine normally costing about $20 was $44 once again still working on my deductible. I have often wondered how a person who wants to purchase something from a vendor who wants to sell goods or services is at the mercy of a third party who contributes nothing that would not exist in a true free enterprise system. The third party is reaping copious amounts of revenue. Regulations that forbid pharmacies and insurance companies from negotiating with insulin producing companies makes me wonder how that...

Looking into Medicare supplemental policies, Namely Plan G or Plan N, AARP /United Health looked promising at a savings of about $6 per month over the next best that I found. However was fortunate to learn of a bait-and-switch prior to signing up. AARP premium rates the first year are quoted at a 36% discount. This discount is scheduled to go down 3% each year. So certainly, by the third year I would have been paying more than what I would pay from the other insurance carrier, with increases (via less discount) each year. Rates for 2021 Plan G ~ $211 less 36%= $134 (the rate quoted first timers). Year 2 would only be a 33% discount. For those in year two in 2021: premium of... Read More
I had United Health Care for this year. They are the worst insurance I have ever had. If Medicare doesn't pay the whole bill they don't pay anything. My husband and I paid over $3,000 a year for insurance Plan G which was supposed to bale the best. We were supposed to just get to $213 and then they would pay. My husband went for his yearly checkup and had blood tests done. We get a $455 bill from Quest. They wouldn't pay the bill because they said they weren't necessary tests. Hello the doctor decides what is necessary. I went to a different lab and all my tests were covered. Who is AARP United Health Care to decide if something is necessary? They just don't want to pay...

They raised finasteride to tier 3 with no warning. Price jumped to over $100. My urologist says that finasteride is generic costing $1 a pill. Long phone call with Walgreens and AARP. The upshot is they can do whatever they want whenever they want for any or no reason. Walgreens said it's the insurance company that determines the tier. "Medicare prescription drug plans typically list finasteride on Tier 1 of their formulary." according to Good RX. I was prescribed nabumetone pain killers for pinched nerve. The pain was so bad I was moning thjrough my MRI.They didn't cover it at all. Medicare prescription drug plans typically list nabumetone on Tier 2 of their formulary. . Walgreens... Read More
Singed up for Plan G, every office i gave my card number to tells me it will not go thru, it keeps coming up as Ameria Health of something as my payee rather than United Health Care. FIRST 2 claims phone calls no explanation. . Rating to date...i seem to have to choose at least one star
Hard company to deal with over the phone. Changing your address or trying to pay a bill takes about six phone calls with many times getting cut off without a call back. Yesterday I spent almost two hours just trying to pay my bill. I had a credit card on file but it wasn’t used for reasons no one could explain. Wow, exhausting!
