He was very pleasant and was able to assist in answering my questions, in addition to providing a temporary photocopy of my card, as I have not received it in the mail yet. He was also able to assist me with adding my new plan to my account on hmsa.com, so I could set up auto-pay for my monthly premiums. He also provided me a Evidence of Coverage packet and info on other coverages. I was very appreciative of his willingness to answer my questions, and for one that he couldn't, he referred me to Benefits, who had the answer to my question. I was very satisfied with my visit. My thanks to Moshe for a painless experience!

Regarding the phone system: It was either never adequately quality tested OR the company (HMSA) is using it to frustrate patients into giving up on calling them for help. Regarding Chris: I told him I had a general question about coverage for a specific procedure. He asked me if it was about a service my wife had recently. I said it was related to billing on her service, but I told him I only wanted the general policy of HMSA regarding this service (as to when it would be considered preventive or diagnostic). He refused to answer my general question because it was inspired by a service she had. I told him that I did not want to discuss her procedure or her bill, that I only wanted to know their policy, but he stubbornly refused to answer that simple question. I've had enough of this type of bs.

On February 3, my husband went to meet with Michelle to switch his current Medicare Advantage…read moreInsurance to United Healthcare. A problem arose because he had changed to his current provider in Jan, and by Medicare rules you're only allowed to make 1 change during open enrollment. Michele contacted Medicare and was able to get an application put through due to an exception to that rule because of a unique situation involving his current insurance provider and his current healthcare provider. What's most impressive about all of this is that because the application had to be submitted by Medicare, Michelle basically did all of this on her own. He'll be getting together with her on day one of open enrollment in October to upgrade his plan.

I was about to give up, switch again? but to where? then someone reached out to Michelle asking her to help me, omg...heaven sent! Michelle is a mama bear & treats you like her cub! Michelle 100% has your back, she fights for you w/ COMPASSION! I can not express how much she restored my faith in humanity! I felt like she was MY daughter fighting for me!

I haven't had general dental insurance since I moved to the United States…read more But when I needed an implant or crown several times, I was surprised at the high cost of treatment. Fortunately, I was using a type of co-insurance at my main dental office and I renews every year. With this insurance, the cost of regular checkups including tooth cleaning twice a year is free. But I started thinking about a little more fulfilling insurance, so I called HDS and asked questions. I was able to understand what I didn't know until now by their explaining. Even if I have insurance, I will not be eligible for insurance treatment immediately, and I need a waiting period of up to 12 months. However, even during the waiting period, it seems that I can get a discount on the treatment fee at the dental clinic as an insurance member. When I heard this, I immediately decided to enrollment online. Normally, if you complete Enroll by the end of each month, you will be treated as an insurance member on the 1st of the next month. You will receive a card at home in about 2 weeks from registration. Currently, it seems that the downtown office has nobody but the customer service office is above. So when I called customer service with the phone installed at the entrance of the HDS main office, the staff came down immediately, opened the office, and explained various things and answering my questions. I certainly thought it was a little inconvenient system, but I was relieved because the staff who responded were very kind. It can be said that the fact that there are so many dentists in the HDS network has a high point for me as a resident of Hawaii. Well, I will gradually know how much benefit I have from joining this insurance in the next year. I'll update it to you later. 私はアメリカに移住以来一般的なデンタル保険を持っていませんでした。 でも、何度かインプラントやクラウンの必要が起こる度にその治療費の高さに驚いていました。 幸い、私のメインデンタルオフィスで1年ごとに更新するタイプの共同保険を使っていました。 この保険で年に2回の歯のクリーニングを含む定期検診費用がフリーとなります。 でも、私はもう少し充実した保険を考える様になりHDSに電話して色々尋ねました。 今まで私が知らなかった事を説明により理解する事が出来ました。 例え保険に加入したからと言って直ぐに保険治療の対象になるのでは無く、最長12ヶ月の待機期間が必要だと言う事。 しかし、例え待機期間中であっても歯科医院での治療費は保険メンバーとして割引きを受ける事が出来るそうです。 これを聞いた私は早速オンラインで加入する事を決めました。 通常、毎月末までにエンロールを済ませると次月1日には保険メンバーとして扱われる様になります。 登録から2週間程で自宅にカードが届きます。 現在、ダウンタウンのオフィスは無人となっているそうですがオフィスの上がカスタマーサービスとなっています。 だから無人オフィス入り口に設置してある電話でカスタマーサービスに電話するとスタッフが直ぐに降りて来て、オフィスを開けてくれ、そして私の質問に答えながら色々と説明してくれました。 確かに少し不便なシステムだとは思いましたが、応対してくれたスタッフはとても親切だったので私は安心しました。 HDSネットワークの歯科医はとても多い事はハワイ在住者の私に取りポイントが高いと言えます。 さて、この保険に加入してどれほどのメリットがあるかどうかはこれからの1年で徐々に分かって来るでしょう。 また後日アップデートします。

You're misinformed by listening to well intentioned family, relatives, friends and acquaintances and totally uninformed thinking you can believe and listen to Social Security or Medicare personnel. They're not responsible for misleading you or giving you false information, you are responsible for yourself. The Medicare guide is nearly 1/2" thick with some information like an overview not all information and elderly seniors like myself have a limited capacity to retain and comprehend everything I read. You need an EXPERT who knows the Medicare system and all the supplements which you may qualify for or actually need to supplement original Medicare depending on your situation. My uninformed friends thinking Medicare is sufficient until they see the bill or the cost of prescriptions and there are prescriptions they don't cover at all. Like the saying goes "it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" and supplemental coverage may be exactly what you need and never knew you needed it. Vance is a professional individual, intelligent and honest person who will help you navigate the Medicare marketplace and answer any questions.
