I purchased UniCare dental insurance for my son, paid my monthly premium and then took him to the dentist for a cleaning. To my surprise I was liable for the entire bill, that’s right the insurance paid nothing. Here is how this works. The dentist performed $124 in services, routine cleaning and exam. UniCare only pays $50 of that amount, so I'm liable for the $74, plus a $50 deductable. That’s right I have to pay the entire amount of $124. Needless to say I have canceled this insurance, I feel like I was scammed. Insurance that you pay into but don’t get anything for… I wish I would have done my research on UniCare prior to spending my hard earned money on insurance that did nothing for me.

Unicare usually pays 50% to 20% on doctors within their own PPO, even though they promise to pay 80%. Do NOT buy Unicare health insurance. Unicare sucks. Unicare are liars.

Unicare insurance is like having no insurance at all. They have denied all of my claims. Keep in mind these are doctor's visits for a healthy 24 year old female. Do not use them!

Their customer service is awful. They can't even give you basic information from the coverage book. My child had surgery last month which was pre-certified and I am still waiting for my copy of the letter! I've called three times and the person this morning told me to call my Drs office and get it from them! Called three times for replacement ID cards and not gotten those either. Once you hit your DD, watch out, because they look for anything and everything to deny a claim (in my experience). I am in insurance myself so I really feel for people who are not and are getting steamrolled by these idiots.

Summary
Unicare denied my knee surgery claims, saying preexisting. But I had seen no doctor before. I did tell knee surgeon I felt some pain a few months prior when stretching, but he said that would not tear knee meniscus (cartilage). Unicare claimed preexisting BEFORE they even had the doc's notes! I did ask insurance agent about the knee pain and how to handle on the application med history questionaire, he said don't self-diagnose. Unicare also
1. Ignored my written request for "what" was preexisting, and when was that?
2. Ignored my Creditable Coverage certificate , which policy says they "will" issue credit for
3. Now threatens to rescind policy if I don't accept knee exclusion waiver in 12 days
4. Gave me a fax number to which I faxed doctor's opinion letter, which they told me the next day "is an old number"a
5. Told the hospital billing dept. that "something happened in October"
I can smell $$$$'s!!! Can you??

I have been impressed by the right kind of customer care service that I am enjoying from Unicare for the last three years. When I chose them as my health care insurance scheme, there was no doubt in my mind as I always trusted their quality and now after becoming their member, I am happy to receive their insurance to meet the increasing hospital expenses. All my personal and family health expenses are being met by Unicare.
