Needed emergency ride through Humana for emergency surgery. Ride never showed up called to check on Ride Ride said they didn't have wheelchair van I explained to them a dozen times I do not need a wheelchair they mistakenly set me up for wheelchair and made me wait long after my scheduled time to the point where my family member had to drive me an hour to the hospital and take off from work that day and lose money important to feeding their family. Humana are liars. I did not say I needed a wheelchair this is their excuse so they don't have to pay me back the $25 in gas money. They are a bunch of bumbling ****** they lie they use incompetent Transportation companies. I want my $25 in gas money return to me. I certainly did not say I needed a wheelchair I have cancer on my face other than that I am a spry healthy Farm man that runs a dairy with 100 cows. I needed a ride that day because no one could give me a ride. I will be changing insurance companies Humana is unethical inappropriate and sociopathical

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********* and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.The resolution letter consisted of nothing they denied my claim they refuse to send me $25 in gas money for a trip my neighbor had to make it her pajamas because of their mishap and unethical procedures and obtaining a ride for me which never showed up for my cancer surgery. I want my $25 in gas money returned to me. I was heckled and abused by a company on the phone which never showed up to pick me up. I will change insurance companies I will not be treated this way as an American citizen who paid his dues I want my $25 in gas money returned to me. Humana is unethical and abusive. No member should not have a ride to surgery or two cancer treatment and no member should be abused by any transportation company that Humana decides to provide. I am a poor person and I am on Medicare and this was wrong absolutely wrong to make me pay my own ride

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I opened a similar complaint against Humana (********* ** ********** and tried calling both the Human rep ******* **** ** * ************ **** ******** - a non-working number) and BBB (went straight to voicemail). Humana is using a Robocall service ("I'm ****** on a recorded line... would you like info about Medicare insurance..."). If you agree, you're connected with Human Marketpoint Insurance. Today, the robocall connected to ****** ******** **********1 who confirmed she was with Humana. Previously Humana denied they were doing this (see attachment) and also said they had taken my number off their list. Both are clearly lies. Lies that are made more frustrating by their cover-up and giving a non-working phone number to discuss this. Humana is already bottom-feeding scammers by virtue of being in the business of monetizing health. Adding an additional scam to it is infuriating.

I believe Humana dental HMO plan is double charging me. The plan cost $15.00 a month, I made payment in the form of a money order on their bill for $16.00 on 08/01/2022. I received a bill from Humana today 08/29/2022 stating that I owe $32.00 for the month(s) of September-October 2022. I believe they're not crediting my payment and committing fraud under 15 U.S.C.

In receipt of Humana's notice, I reserve all my rights under UCC 1-308, obviously your CPA's aren't competent in the laws that govern contracts, if they were this matter would have been resolved with a simple credit to my account. You haven't addressed not one of my recent request or answers to the laws that I sent you, you are in breach of contract if my account isn't credited with the money orders on your billing statement, you haven't quoted any law stating that it's illegal to create my own money order since the credit is coming from me anyways, it's no different from using a credit card, the credit is coming from the individual not the credit card company, if my account isn't credited or if my dental plan is terminated because you won't accept my payments, I will file a lawsuit for breach of contract and fraud.

On or about April 15 2022 Humana did CHANGE MY SELECTED DOCTOR (that I have had for 5 or more years) WITHOUT NOTICE! I am in the middle of a Health Crisis with my Heart and this screwed up the ongoing diagnosis process. I called them 10 times asking them why they did this and they said initially that when my Doctors office moved in January 2022 they gave them notice to change their address but they DID NOT CORRECTLY DO THAT CAUSING A CREDEDENTIALLY ISSUE. Causing all patients not only of my doctor but their entire offices to LOSE THEIR PATIENTS! They additionally told me repeatedly that they would reissue MY CARD with my doctors name on it so I could get the care I need, but LIED TO ME. Later I found out they had evidently keyed in incorrectly (MPI # s/b ********** Doctor ****** ****** DO) this was her number before the move and is still her number. They REFUSED to let me speak to their department where this was INCORRECTLY IMPUT or any MANAGER LEVEL in the Esculation team. Meanwhile they have collected MONEY from my Social Security for my medical care which I MUST GET FROM A DOCTOR WHO HAS TREATED ME FOR YEARS!Business response

Dear Ms. ****,
I am writing in response to the initial inquiry filed with the Better Business Bureau regarding a primary care physician update.
You are a policyholder of a Humana Gold Plus HMO plan. The coverage is effective from January 1, 2022 to the present.
On April 26, 2022, you contacted Humana to inquire about your primary care physician being changed from Dr. ****** ****** to Dr. ******* *******. The Humana representative determined that Dr. ******'s address was changed. Due to the address change, Humana cancelled Dr. ****** as your primary care physician in error, instead of updating the provider's address in our systems.
On May 23, 2022, you contacted Humana for a status check on your primary care physician being updated. The Humana representative advised that the update could not be completed due to the provider's National Provider Identifier (NPI) being incorrect.
On May 24, 2022, you contacted Humana for a status check on your primary care physician being updated. The Humana representative advised that the primary care physician update had not been completed and that further research was being conducted for resolution. Additionally, the Humana representative advised that it may take 10-14 business days to research.
On May 26, 2022, you contacted Humana to advise that your primary care physician is having issues with their NPI. The Humana representative conducted research and determined that you were set to be assigned to Dr. ******, with an effective date of June 1, 2022. Please note: The inquiry was forwarded to Humana's Service Fund Team for research and resolution.
ion
On May 31, 2022, you contacted Humana to advise that you received a new ID card with the wrong primary care physician listed on the card. You stated that the primary care physician listed was Dr. ******* *******. The Humana representative advised that a new ID card will be issued to you reflecting the correct primary care physician, which is Dr. ****** ******. Additionally, the Humana representative advised to allow five to seven business days to receive the new ID card.
Upon receipt of this inquiry, a thorough review of the issue was completed. This inquiry was forwarded to Humana's Service Fund Team for review.
According to the review, Humana's Service Fund Team advised that your primary care physician was updated due to Dr. ******** address change and NPI. As requested, on May 31, 2022, the research that was conducted by Humana's Service Team was completed and your primary care physician was updated to reflect Dr. ****** effective June 1, 2022.
On June 3, 2022, a new member ID card was issued to you, which lists Dr. ****** as your primary care physician. Attachment A is a copy of the member ID card.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter. I can be reached at ***************************.
Call If You Need Us If you have questions, please call our Customer Care team at **************. If you use a TTY, call ***. You can call Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[This complaint was for a Medicare Insurance Companies failure to correctly and ETHICALLY in a timely fashion make simple business changes like address changes in a professional manner with TIME IS OF THE ESSESNCE procedures. There response simply noted their mistakes. IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED if their Contracting team had been better trained. I should not have repeatedly been told it would be another 10 - 15 days to resolve, proving my point that it was a huge mistake that cost me from April to June to resolve at great stress and danger to my health. They have said nothing that absolves them of endangering my health during a medical crisis (Low Pulse pending Heart condition diagnosis). They did not even put in place new safe guards for the future or admit that their staff needed better training!]
