Copay $15 then surprised that it becomes $80

Copay $15 then surprised that it becomes $80 after I have gone to facility 5-6 times. I was first happy that I could see the prices for services at different facilities. I did this for physical therapy finding a facility with $15 copay. I confirmed $15 copay with PT as well. I went there many times then found out the price was actually $80. Surest claims the app stated the price as $80 but I know what I saw. I just did not take a screen shot. Too bad for me and now I had to pay about $900 instead of $150. Don’t trust the app. Take screen shots and call them. The facilities don’t know copays either. Appeals process are not understanding. FYI my appeal was denied.

Love the app, but not the new health safe ID

I still give the app 5 stars, because it is very functional. The new Health Safe ID causes log in issues sometimes. I’m all about security, but wish the Surest app had its own built-in two factor authentication.

Insurance that makes sense

I love my Surest app where I can check out prices and providers before I make an appointment. And the bills always are the same as what was shown in the app. Its been a great plan for my family and I!

Love the app!

I’ve been on a Surest plan for a few years now and I love everything about it. The App is great and is easy to use and is fun to show off to my friends and family how easy it is to find doctors in my area and how much they cost! I hope all my future employers offer Surest!

Clear, affordable

My old insurance plan was confusing and full of surprises. Crazy how many surprise bills I got. This has been much easier. It’s not perfect. But I love that I know what I’ll pay before I go. And I found I’m spending less when I do. My wife loves it too - great with our kids.

Thank you for the review! We're glad to hear the plan is working as expected for you - it feels good to know what to expect upfront :)

I won’t go back…

…to a health plan without benefit and price transparency. It’s silly to “buy” healthcare without knowing what I’ll pay - I can shop and ask good questions about recommended care because I have the Surest app. I’ve planned more therapy care than ever before.

And it keeps getting better! Thanks for ability to see claims under review - I like to see that Surest has claims from my recent visits.

I miss bind.

As a person with moderate healthcare needs, bind (surest)was amazing. Beyond the transparency, the trade from deductible to Co-insurance let me spread the expenses across time rather than having to pay 3000$ or more in the first few months. My new employer has United but doesn’t offer any palatable options.

No Touch ID

I like having Touch ID and many apps have it including my current insurance company. But we are switching to Surest and the app does not have that feature.

Update - thanks to sone prompt feedback from the developer I learned it does have the feature. I used this app recently after a recent Dr visit and everything is working flawlessly. Review has changed to 5 Star.

Saved me thousands

I caught a big billing error by the hospital because I knew exactly what I owed before I went. For the first time health insurance is clear. And this app is easy to use.

You need to get better

1. Provide a filter to search providers accepting new patients. It's not ideal to click on each name and find out.
2. Lock the copay price for doctors for atleast one year Jan to Dec. When showing upfront price is transparency, changing the price for the same doc is called dynamic pricing and is not ideal. That will mean if I select a doc with $25 copay and establish care and the price inceases to $125, I will have to change the provider.
3. Most of the providers whom you have listed as in network haven't even heard of the name Surest. Please talk to your providers.
4. Virtual visit video calls should be managed within the app
5. Connect with health apps and provide rewards for exercises and walks.
6. Your customer support is still confused on what's the relationship between Surest and UnitedHealth care.

Hello, thank you for your feedback on the Surest app. We appreciate your suggestions and have forwarded them on to our product team for review. Copays are set, by provider, and are consistent for the duration of your policy year. We are aware that many providers are still building associations of the Surest brand with UnitedHealthcare and we are actively taking steps to spread awareness that if they are in network with UHC they are in network with Surest.
