I first became a Humana Dental Insurance customer in the state of NC 11/2023. And found joy in having decent dental insurance for once in my life. However 06/2024 my life took a drastic turn, after my grandmother passed in 06/2024. 07/2024 I decided to leave my home state of NC to move with the other part of my family in GA. Which meant of course I had to switch/transfer my insurance over to this new state. I was skeptical at first because I hadn’t the NC policy for 12 months and at the time I was in need of a major dental service. The agent in which the call was recorded stated to not worry about that, that my coverage and all waiting peroids would be waived since in fact I had been with the company since 11/2023. As of 03/2025, I’ve had issues with this policy and not been able to get these services completed by it been a hold on my account til 07/2025 to have this lifted and taken care of. Unfortunately I can’t wait that long and the representative gave me false and inaccurate information concerning this. And all this money I’ve been paying Humana has in short been a waste as promises were not fulfilled appropriately.Business Response

We got our new cards for 2025 and had our wellness check up. When I had to get a CT on my lungs I filled with my Humana . Then at the end of January I called our pharmacy to get my husband’s medication and was told our Humana was no longer any good. I called them about this and she told me it was a error on their part and we had to reinstate our information…I told her that I didn’t understand and she keep saying we needed to open a new account… I said I didn’t understand and I would call our agent that handle our enrollment and she was going to call me back…well then our agent called and was told the same thing that it was an error on their part. This went on for the next week then on Wednesday the 5 th of February she was told that I called and canceled our insurance. I did NOT.. THEN they had us on three way call and we got to a supervisor and he said they had us in Newton County and not Walton and would not continue our insurance… I now have a $240.00 bill I can’t pay and my husband has been without one of his medications because we don’t have $1000.00 to pay for it…Business Response

I have seen the Humana Health Insurance Commercials for Medicare Part C, for Humana. They show how great Humana coverage and all of the benefits are. So I called a Humana agent and signed up for a plan. One of my Primary concerns was can I see my current Doctors, they answered yes, can I use my same pharmacy, they said yes, Will I get a **** card for the $60 for the OTC every quarter, again they said yes. 1.What actually happened was they assigned me one of there doctors I have never heard of on my Web page. Even though I have them my current providers name. 2.They tried aggressively to get me to switch my Pharmacy to their **** **** company. They called 8 times if 5 days. It took me 4 calls to make them stop. I called Humana and the **** **** companies to have them stop calling. 3.The OTC benefit is actually a credit for there **** **** company, which is not what the sale agent said, but I said fine as long as I am to get the products I use for my health. When I went to there Pharmacy OTC site I could not find one of the brands I use *******, **** ***, ******* and ********. The only brand I recognized was *** toothpaste. If this isn't a bait and switch sales practice I am not sure what is. I hope my health insurance cl***s for the year do not go like this' Maybe someone can explain what I am missing Thank you, ***** *******Business Response

I'm no longer an active member so can't retrieve any of my historical data online anymore. I called 1/14/25 and requested to have my online access restored, which they said wasn't possible. I then asked the representative to provide me with my prescription history from 8/2023 - 11/2023. The representative told me she would put in the request for a "smart summary" for those months, which should take a week or two to arrive in the mail. I never received it, so I called again on 1/27/2025 and the representative told me it was due to arrive on Wednesday. I called again on 2/13/25 since I never received anything, and the representative told me he was going to put in a new request for me, which I would receive in a week or two. I have yet to receive either of these statements.Business Response

On December 31, 2024, I had a wellness checkup while I was covered under Humana Go 365. Under this program I am to receive $50.00 for this checkup. I filed a grievance with them on 1/27/2025. Today I received a letter from them saying I was denied. I phoned them today and was told the same thing I was told on 1/27/2025 and 2/19/2025, that I did not let them know by the first week of January that I had a wellness checkup. Also that I did not call them the day of the wellness checkup. There was nothing in their booklet that said I needed to call them. They never told me I needed to call them the day of the wellness checkup or during the first week of Jan. which they now claim is the procedure. According to the letter I received today they deny my claim, saying I was termed due to them not receiving a doctors report in a timely matter and during todays phone call, not calling them the day of my checkup or the first week of Jan. The doctors report they have states the checkup was done on Dec. 31, 2024.Business Response

During open enrollment 2024, enrolled in Humana for my Medicare supplemental health insurance. Before the insurance began, I changed my mind and called Humana to cancel, they agreed to issue a refund back to my credit card. They said it could take up to 5 weeks. I waited those weeks and nothing was refunded so I called to ask about it. I was told the refund request never went through so they needed to submit the request. They said it would take several more weeks and suggested I ask for a check not a credit card refund. I waited the number of weeks they said it would take, and when there was no check, I called again. They then told me a check had been issued but in the wrong amount and to a different address. They said they'd request another check be sent. Nothing has ever come. I have spent many many hours. days, weeks, months trying to get this refund. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHASE HUMANA FOR THIS REFUND. It is absolutely ridiculous. GOOD THING I DECIDED TO NOT PUT MY HEALTH IN THEIR HANDS. I would like both a refund an a phone call apology.Customer Answer
