      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Best Life and Health continued to deduct premiums from my account after cancellation for 18 months. I was told I should have been informed by the marketplace that I needed to contact them directly to cancel payment. I have an email from Best Life and Health from Jan 6th of 2022 saying they were notified of my cancellation and I should call them to re-establish coverage. This is a direct quote from their email, which would have me believe I have nothing further to do and would only call to re-establish coverage."We have received notification from the exchange that your BEST Life dental coverage ended on 12/31/2022. If this was not your intention, please give us a call at ************ so we can enroll you for 2023 coverage. If you would like to learn more about our dental plans, go to bestlife.com/exchange.We thank you for being a valued customer and we sincerely hope that you choose to stay with us for the coming year."In talking with customer service, I was told that because I did not call Best Life directly to cancel, they automatically re-enrolled my coverage and have been deducting $25.01 per month for the last ************************************************************************* viewing past invoices beyond 1 month. But I can provide bank statements and email receipts.The customer service representative I spoke to was very nice and sympathetic, which I give them credit for. But it is wrong for a company policy to be so deceptive and trick customers into staying with them.

      I signed up for dental insurance through Best Life through Healthcare.gov. They did not get back to me in time for me to actually get signed onto the plan which was on them, I did not have a way to contact them at the time. Then even though my plan was cancelled, they still charge me every month for the service I am not getting and I've have to file multiple disputes. I've been forced to cancel my debit card just so they stop taking money from me.
