      My name is *****************, and I am a member of Kaiser Permanente through my employer, with Member ID ********. I am writing to formally request an immediate resolution regarding the coverage of a Typhoid oral vaccine, which I picked up from the Kaiser Northgate Pharmacy. Despite having medical insurance coverage through Kaiser, I was required to pay $132.19 upfront for this vaccine, as the pharmacist incorrectly informed me that it was not covered under my plan because it was a travel medication.Since then, I have contacted Kaiser member services and the pharmacy multiple times to clarify this matter. Unfortunately, each conversation has only added to the confusion. I have received contradictory information from different agentssome confirming that the vaccine is covered, and others stating that it is not. On August 9, I spoke with the head pharmacist of mail order, who confirmed that the vaccine was indeed covered, and informed me that the prescription was being reprocessed. However, when I followed up today, I was once again told that it is not covered, and that there was nothing they could do because "the computer wouldn't let them."This inconsistency is unacceptable, particularly given that my plan description ("2024 Summary Plan Description") explicitly states on Page 216 under "Covered Drugs": This benefit covers: Prescription drugs, including medications and injections, for anticipated illness while traveling.Given this clear language, I request that Kaiser Permanente honor the terms of my plan and promptly refund the $132.19 that I paid for the Typhoid oral vaccine. Additionally, I would appreciate a definitive explanation of why there has been so much contradictory information provided and how this issue will be rectified to prevent future occurrences.

      My daughter and I were enrolled in an insurance plan through Kaiser Permanente at the start of 2024. We paid the ***************** premium and set up auto pay. In February, the auto payment did not process due to a glitch in the Kaiser website. The card used for autopay was valid and used successfully for autopay in January. I was notified on February 22 that the autopayment did not process. I called Kaiser and was told their autopay system was having issues. I manually paid in full for the February and *************** premiums on March 5. On March 22, I received a letter from Kaiser stating that my insurance policy was cancelled effective January 31 due to non-payment of premiums. I filed an appeal requesting reinstatement of the insurance policy, noting that the premiums were paid in full. Kaiser denied the appeal. Kaiser has acknowledged receiving the premium payments and has stated they will refund the premium payments for February and March, however they are still claiming the policy was cancelled due to non-payment of premiums. Because Kaiser is claiming that the policy was cancelled due to non-payment of premiums, I am unable to sign up for another policy or qualify for COBRA. My daughter and I are effectively banned from signing up for health insurance for the remainder of 2024 because of Kaiser's refusal to accept our insurance premium payments and back date the policy cancellation date. In 2023, I had two unexpected surgeries and paid the legal maximum allowable out of pocket amount. In 2023, I also had a one month late payment of my insurance premium and Kaiser did not cancel coverage or threaten to cancel coverage. It is my belief that Kaiser cancelled my insurance coverage this year because they saw me as high risk and non-profitable. Kaisers actions violate my legal right to health care. My request to Kaiser is to either reinstate the policy, or provide a policy cancelation date of March 31 to allow me to sign up for health insurance elsewhere.

      Complaint: 21528173

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The health insurance premium was set up to autopay. The autopayment processed successfully on 1/2. Kaiser's payment processing system failed to process the Feb autopayment on 2/2. This was not due to any issue with the credit card or account balance. On 2/22, I set up a new credit card for autopayment and set the payment to process on 2/29 to pay the Feb and Mar premiums in full. Kaiser's website again failed to process the autopayment and I received a message on 3/1 stating that the autopayment was not successful. Following this, I called Kaiser by phone regarding the unpaid bills and was told over the phone that Kaiser's system was having issues with processing autopayments. I then made a manual payment on 3/5 for the Feb and Mar premiums, paid in full.

      It was after paying the premiums in full that I received a letter from Kaiser notifying me of the coverage cancellation, effective 1/31. Throughout this process, I have made a good faith effort to pay the premiums in full and on times. Kaiser's payment processing system had failures which affected my ability to pay the bills on time. Ultimately the policy premiums were paid in full on March 5. 

      Even after receiving the letter of cancelation from Kaiser, my account remained enrolled in autopay. I finally received an autopay cancelation notice from Kaiser on 4/5. 

      The non-payment of the insurance premiums were due to a processing issue on Kaiser's end. There are two outcomes to the situation that would be acceptable to me: 1) Reinstate my insurance coverage with Kaiser and I will continue to pay the monthly premiums. 2) Cancel the insurance coverage effective March 31 which is the date that the insurance premiums have been paid through. I will then be able to enroll in insurance through a different provider.

      ****** is a budget health care provider. They re EXTREMELY understaffed. You come into urgent care with any symptom and you are met with a 2-3 hour wait. Then the customer service staff is extremely rude and will give you attitude if you ask how much longer. They also will lie to you and tell you this is how long everyone waits regardless if its ****** or a normal hospital. They lie to you. Make you sit and wait in pain for hours. Then they are so confused about what is even happening when you do get scene. The nurse didnt even seemed like she was trained correctly. They make it so difficult to see a doctor so you wont come back in the future. Luckily I was able to switch my insurance to BlueCross.

      On 11/17/2023, a nurse submitted an order for some medical supplies that I was unable to obtain on my own. Kaiser Permanente's response was to cancel the order and tell me that it was not a covered benefit instead of ordering the supplies and at the very least, charging me for the items. However, since they chose to just disregard my needs, I ran out of the required supplies and my health suffered for it. After reviewing my coverage I do not even understand why they told me that it wasn't covered when my health plan seems to clearly state that the supplies should be covered.

      To Whom It May ******** I believe Kaiser Permanente (KP) had been carelessly providing treatments over the past few years. For instance, in one of my encounters, a preventive care visit was scheduled on October 04 for discussions of health improvements; however, the visit became a combination of the preventive care and a regular visit. While each of the visits requires a certain amount of time to give me time to discuss deeply about my health concerns, KP has quickly and carelessly combines those visits into a single visit to prevent me to have enough time with a doctor for my health improvements or discuss about my health concerns. In another instance, without having enough staffs to monitor my allergy during a visit at KP clinic, I was transferred to a nearby emergency room and left there for hours without attentions from any medical personnel. Or, a flu vaccine appointment was scheduled in response to a covid vaccine appointment request. As a result, I have been responsible for ridiculous medical charges. Although, in my case, there are helps from healthcare insurance, I think these medical charges will be a sufficiently large amount for those without healthcare insurance and being treated at Kaiser Permanente clinics. If this complaint is necessary to be filed with a different agency, would you please provide me some contact information so I can effectively convey my concerns to receive better treatments in the future. Thank you for your time.Best,****.

      Complaint: 20882164

      I am rejecting this response because: I have not recevied any responses from Kaiser to indicate a few minutes left of preventive care session can be used to cover the entire regular office visit. Half of the truth cant be considered as the whole truth. A concern of a patient being responded by a doctor is not equivalent to a diagnostic-treament process. Like smelling a red wine is not equivalent to wine tasting.

      Therefore, a 20 minutes of preventive care session cant be a combination of a preventive care and a regular office visit. If the concern of the patient being responded by the doctor was equivalent to the diagnostic-treament process, the visit on October 4 should had been longer than 20 minutes to carefully cover the diagnostic-treament process. As a result, I believe I am being billed for more than the service I received. If you have a chance, please provide me some contact info of agency to oversee the healthcare insurance industry so I can concurrently file the corresponding complains. Thanks for your helps.

      I attended a doctor visit on 8/15/2023 for painful skin growths on my ear. I received an online estimate from Kaiser for the visit (attached). After the visit I received a bill for $975.18, more than 3x that amount, and the growth wasn't successfully removed. I was not given any indication of the cost of the services, and was surprised to receive a nearly $1,000 bill for a 15 minute office visit. I had a nearly identical visit in 2022 and was billed significantly less (less than half). Not sure what other industry would allow for that level of non-transparency when it comes to providing services and subsequent billing.

      I had called Kaiser to tell them I had recently had a victrectomy and was still having blurry vision.

While ********************** did her testing she told me that my eye surgery was a major surgery and would take longer to heal. At the end of my appt she said, "I'm just going to give you your vision prescription since I did all the testing anyways." I didn't question it. A month or so later I received a bill for my eye exam, $197.83. I called to question the bill. I was told that "eye exam/vision prescription was not covered." However, when I called I had explained that I was due for a follow up and I wasn't sure who I should see because there are different types of eye doctors and I wasn't sure whom to see. I didn't want a typical eye ******** didn't need a prescription because I had already had all that prior to surgery. They said, "You have eye insurance, just have them pay it. I said I had already had my yearly eye exam and they would not cover another. So she made the appointment for Kaiser's doctor. I had to go through a dispute process. I received a voicemail a few days later. I called and she said I had money owing. I told her the ************* looked it up and stated that the bill was actually taken off and I owed nothing. Today I received another bill. This time additional charges were added, my bill was now even more $240.35, & additional $42.52 more than before. I called to dispute and question these charges. Today I was told that I, not only owe the previous amount, they discovered they had undercharged me.
