Wellcare by Allwell is the UNDISPUTED WORST health insurance there is, in my opinion. I had a Medicare Advantage plan with them for 14 months, but it was a decided DISadvantage. They seemed to take pleasure in denying me every benefit to which I was entitled. They repeatedly failed to reimburse me for out-of-pocket expenses, and refused to let me see the excellent doctor, who served as my PCP for a whole year under a previous plan. Instead, they directed me to a doctor who proved to be the worst doctor I ever had in all my 66 years. I had a $0.00 copay for emergency room visits, but I made a single ER visit and they tried to stick me with a bill of $120.
To top that off, they insisted on perennially forcing upon me gigantic boxes of “medically tailored meals” that made me gag at the sight of them. Receiving the first box, I immediately called to opt out. I even put in grievances for this, telling the grievance counselors that being elderly and disabled, being forced to handle and discard these huge boxes was a liability to my health and wellbeing. They did not listen, turning my doorstep into their veritable dumping ground for months. So, if yo u need good health insurance, DON’T get Wellcare by Allwell. They will worry you, aggravate you, even burden you with unwanted garbage, till you die prematurely of a stroke or heart attack.
Desired outcome: Help others avoid the same negative consumer experience.
Wellcare Medicare Advantage is a fraudulent company. They made it clear to me when I signed up for their plan that I was responsible for ambulance and ER bills IF THESE DID NOT RESULT IN MY BEING ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL! Now I have spent months fighting with them over a ambulance bill from February of 2022. I was indeed admitted to the hospital and treated for Covid-19 so I had no choice but to stay there as I was in isolation. I have had health problems ever since and been unable to return to work, perhaps due in no small part to the fact that Ia m 71 years old in addition to having Covid so it appears that they are related.
I am not seeking to steal anything from the insurance company. I simply want what I was promised by them.
I would suggest that you avoid this company. I was also denied surgery my doctors said that I needed because I was in constant pain following a fall when I lost consciousness during my illness.
