I had carefirst for a couple years and they are the biggest insurance scam I’ve ever experienced. Carefirst has a nice sales pitch but then you come to find out patients, I mean customers who actually pay for their dysfunctional insurance plan can expect high unexpected costs with subpar benefits. The app is horrible. The customer support has long wait times (except for sales which you get right though). The coverage is confusing and calling to verify coverage still has no guarantee you have coverage. I hope you don’t have to file a claim, appeal or grievance because you will have to mail it to carefirst. Not email, not fax just mail and your mail will probably get lost. Use certified mail. Carefirst has lost 3 of the 4 things I had to mail to them. Luckily I knew they were scam artists so I referenced the certified mail delivery and carefirst staff decided to search their garbage cans extra hard and found my appeals, claims and grievances. Don’t walk away from Carefirst, run. Have you ever gone to an in network dentist and then received an out of network bill because the dentist was in network but their office wasn’t? How about having an in network teledoc appointment and then receiving an out of network lab bill for the bloodwork associated with that appointment? Labsork is out of network because the in network provider you saw for your teledoc appointment lives in a different state than you do and carefirst bases their lab work coverage on the residence of the provider. It’s your insurance coverage. You should have known the appointment is in network and the lab won’t be because lab work claims go off NPI residency. If you call carefirst to make sure you have in network coverage they will tell you all information given to you might not be accurate. Nice way to avoid all responsibility carefirst. Its impossible to know your coverage when carefirst isn’t even confident in telling you what’s in network.
These are the types of games CareFirst plays with their dental and medical claims. Their app is trash just like everything else about Carefirst. Don’t believe me? Try it out for yourself. If you’re healthy and don’t use your insurance, you shouldn’t have any problems with them. Your problems aren’t a priority for Carefirst. You're just a number to them. I have a $1,000 out of pocket lab bill associated with a teledoc wellness exam. It’s preventative care but somehow carefirst was able to put the claim out of network and pay less than 10% of the total bill. I hate carefirst and their stupid app. Don’t get bloodwork if it’s ordered from their teledoc providers.
