Unified Health Insurance Services Reviews

  • Nov 2, 2022

I spent an hour talking to 4 agents with Unified Health about a discount health plan that is not qualified medical coverage. They pressured me to sign up and obtained one of my credit card numbers. They gave me a confirmation number and when I asked for more information or verification of their network, they would send me to a different agent. They said I had to sign up today via an email link.

When I clicked on the link to see the network, it pulled up a web site to create a url, not a network. They claimed to be a PPO with half a million providers, but I could not get the list of providers until I signed their contract. It includes unlimited number of office visits and tests. It is a "lower tiered plan." It excludes maternal care, substance abuse and mental healthcare and offers "cash benefits." Member has to pay 10%.

Acknowledgement that you are joining an Association: I understand that I am enrolling for membership in the National Congress of Employers (NCE), who is the group policyholder for the limited benefit medical plan in which I am also enrolling. The monthly association fee includes the cost of the insurance and other benefits provided by the association. I understand that Unified Life Insurance Company is the underwriter, claims processor and provides customer service for claims related items. First Enroll is the third party administrator who is responsible for billing and member services for non-claim related items.

I understand that the insurance is not basic health insurance or major medical coverage, and is not designated as a substitute for basic health insurance or major medical coverage. I understand that this coverage provides limited benefits for specified medical care. If I have a pre-existing condition the limited medical benefits may not be immediately available for claims associated with that condition. I have a waiting period of 12 months before any claims related to my condition will be covered. If my medical costs exceed the benefit limits then I will be responsible for any charges above those limits as defined in this plan. The limitations are disclosed in the certificate of coverage which is provided via access through the portal shortly after completion of enrollment.

Cancelable Policy and Premium Increases by Insurer: I understand that the insurer has the right to increase premium rates and has the option to cancel coverage.

Disclosure of Free-Look Period: I understand that I have the right to examine the certificate of coverage and within 30 days of the date of receipt, I have the right to cancel the coverage (with written notice) and I will receive a full refund of premium as long as I do not use the benefits or submit a claim.

Enrollment Fee for Membership in Association: I understand that the one-time enrollment fee for membership in the National Congress of Employers (NCE) is non-refundable, even if I choose to cancel insurance coverage or other benefits of membership in the association.

I understand that the monthly payment will be charged to my account for the association fees. The charge date is based on the effective date of my policy. I understand this authority is to remain in full force and effect until the company has received written notification from me of its termination (in writing) in such time and such manner as to afford the company and depositor a reasonable opportunity to act on it. There is a $34 insufficient funds fee.

In the event of a benefit payable due to Accidental Death: If benefits are due under the Accidental Death benefit, I understand it will be paid to the Named Insured’s beneficiary. The beneficiary is the person the Named Insured designated in the enrollment form as the beneficiary, unless it was changed at a later date. If a beneficiary was not named or if the person named is not living at the Named Insured’s death, any Accidental Death benefit due will be paid in this order to: The Insured’s Spouse; or children; or parents; or brothers and sisters; or estate. In the event of a benefit payable due to the death of a Spouse or Dependent Child, the Accidental Death benefit will be paid to the Named Insured, if living, otherwise to the estate of the insured Spouse or Dependent Child. If benefits are payable to a Covered Person’s estate, we can pay benefits up to $5,000 to someone related to the Covered Person by blood or marriage who we feel is fairly entitled to them. If we do this, we will have no responsibility for this payment because we made it in good faith. To change your beneficiary please contact Unified Life Insurance Company at 800 237 4463.

I understand that if there are any discrepancies between what the agent told me about the plan and what the actual plan states that the certificate terms will apply.

They said I had to pay a one time $99 fee to apply then when I disputed that, they lowered it to $25 "minimum Texas enrollment fee." They touted that this membership in a group does not require underwriting and that I would become a member of a group association with a 30 day waiting period and a 30 day preview period.

The direct phone number for one of the agents, Christopher Ramirez, is 877-401-3123 which pulled up on my phone as 855-204-2652; Bruce Ingraham and Alejandro Customer Service at 877-401-3123 ext. 304. This is a high pressure, misleading, and unscrupulous scam.

Daniela Farina a health insurance broker hired me as her virtual assistant here in the philippines. For 15days I performed the duty diligently as her virtual assistant. Scheduling her apppintments, contact all her clients, calling her prospective clients aa well. Everything wet smoothly when it is almoat payment period, I am logging in to my computer to start my work when I cannot enter the passwords she gave to me, I message her but no reply from her end. After 4 hours she replied that she lost her laptop and for security reasons she needs to change all her passwords but I am puzzled why she did not change her password in Skype as well as her gmail account as well as her company email just my credentials. So I am thinking differently already so I told her to just pay for my 15days of worked and I will just need to find another job. To my dismay she never paid me, she send me waiver letter that I need to sign before she will pay me. I contacted US department of labor and said they cannot help me because outsourcing work outside united states is not in there boundaries . The money that I worked for 15days aupposed to be the money that I will pay for the tuition fee of my daughter, sad to say until now she havent took her exam and she cannot graduate because I still didnt pay the tuition fee. Emotionally I am battling wih this. Please help me.
