  I have been charged by Colonial Health 269.95/month since February 2021 to the present for heath ********* I do not have. I do not ever recall having contracted with Colonial Health for their services and would have no need to, as I am fully insured by my employer. I have not been able to address this matter sooner for personal reasons. Their low rating now has me deeply concerned that I may be a victim of fraud.

  Thank you for your help.  Another follow up concerning my pending complaint re; Colonial ****** I was able to reach them Monday at ************. ******* I spoke with said they have no record of a cancellation until THIS MONTH. This does not represent the entire story. My daughter began receiving random emails from them recently and finally responded Monday asking them to stop. CH is treating this as the date of cancellation, but in fact happened no later than 9/2022 when she began her new job with a different insurance provider. Sh was very frustrated by the cancellation process, needing to make several phone calls until being assured the policy was cancelled. Only now we found it it wasnt.

  I signed up for a policy with this company, which I found on the healthcare.gov website. The representative that I spoke to stated that they offered a 30-day look, and that the policy could be canceled during that window. My policy start date was December 1, 2022. I sent an email to the contact that I was given on December 27, 2022, within the 30-day cancellation window. I never got a response, and I have been charged $324.95 every month for a policy that is useless. This is not even health insurance; it is a membership plan that I can't use. I told the representative that I talked to that I was seeing a mental health care provider for EMDR treatments. It turns out this membership plan only allows four doctor visits per year. I tried to find a provider and was not able to find one to continue my treatments. This is a complete ******* preying on people looking for low-cost health insurance. I am 64 years old and cannot afford to be taken advantage of like this. I want a refund.

  Dear ****************,
  Please accept our apologies. After some careful research it was determined that a cancellation letter was received and unfortunately overlooked.  We have immediately credited you back your monies as you did cancel within the first 30 days and were entitled to a full refund.
  Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience and if you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact the customer service department at *************.

  I had three hospital visits along with the *** none of which were covered and I had turned out I had shingles, than I found out I did not purchase medical insurance at 500 dollars a month which I was told I was purchasing but a discount card. My card did not come until after my visits so I did my know. After receiving my card on bottom of card in fine print says not a health insurance. Do not get scammed by this company.

  Hi *****,

  Thank you for taking my call this morning.  As I explained during our conversation, I reach out to ********************** to get additional information and see how I can help him with his complaint.
  

  I was unable to find ********************** in our system and reach out to him for additional information. We had gone back and forth several time and after much debate ********************** requested that I contact the BBB as he felt they may have filed the complaint under the wrong company as he had never heard of Patriot Health.

  
  Please reach out to ********************** and confirm this information as I do not want this complaint to appear on our profile.

  
  Patriot Health, Inc.

  Hi Ms. ******************** style="font-size: 0.875rem;">************** purchased a Colonial Health membership in the ************************** (UCA).

  This membership contains an array of consumer benefits including: ********************************** coverage; ************************ coverage; access to a provider network that provides discounted rates; and various non-insurance benefits.

  This membership is sold by independent licensed agents. The enrollment form clearly states that the membership is not major medical insurance. In addition, members are given 30 days to cancel and receive a refund.

  Immediately upon purchase, members are provided a link to logon to their portal. Records indicate that ************** purchased her membership on August 1, 2022 and logged on to her portal August 31, 2022. The portal contains all her membership information, including brochures that outline what benefits are provided and her insurance documents. ************** did not cancel her membership until October 3, 2022, she was issued a refund for the last month.

  We are disappointed that ************** is not satisfied with her UCA membership.

  Sincerely
