Consistently for the past 3 years, around the same time of the year( July or August) I am removed from my Wellcare Plan and switched over to Humana for one month, then returned back to a different Wellcare Plan that I originally enrolled in. This is all done without my authorization. Every year my daughter calls and complains about this obvious fraud. Every year we are promised that it will be investigated and we will receive a return call on the matter. This never happens. The issue here is that I am a 93 year old with a heart condition. I require meds to keep me alive. This frauds causes issues with my obtaining my medicine.
During this last fraud act, I had an appointment with my Cardiologist, which took several months to get. My appointment was canceled because they did not accept the Humana Plan I was fraudulently switched over to. I am handicap and barely able to walk without assistance. How could Wellcare allow this to happen? I am going to die over this act of fraud.
Each year Wellcare wants to pass the issue over to Humana. Humana tells my daughter it is a Wellcare issue. The person who commits this fraud makes the change only for 30 days. Wellcare is not able to trace it. I suspect and a Wellcare representative has confirmed that it is an unscrupulous salesperson who has my personal information along with other victims and commits this fraud in order to make commission.
Why cant WellCare trace this change? Why are they allowing this without my authority? Why cant I freeze my account so changes are not made without my written consent?
My daughter works very hard to choose the right insurance for me every year. This is unacceptable to remove me for 30 days and then bring me back under a different Wellcare plan altogether. I am under a fixed income. The current complaint number opened for this issue with Wellcare is **********.Business Response

Hello and Good Afternoon, We sincerely apologize for the dissatisfaction you've experienced. Contact was made with Ms. ***** daughter on 8/23. We escalated this matter for Investigation by our CIU department, and the findings are as follows: The allegation that the beneficiary was recently enrolled without consent is unfounded. Multiple applications were found, however there is no evidence to support the fraudulent allegations. We understand a complaint has been filed with Medicare, and believe that may be the best course of action for another thorough investigation. Thank you.Initial Complaint

I have been on the phone with customer service for hours and hours, transferred back and forth countless times trying to get a minor issue resolved. I was informed that I would have a 50 dollar credit for utility assistance with my new insurance plan only to be told later that I had to qualify (which I do). I was told the information application would be sent to my provider ( which it hasnt) and after numerous attempts to talk to someone that can resend it , I get transferred to multiple departments that can't get anything done. Have gone as far as to speak with supervisors and filed 2 grievances with no hope in sight! Thank you for your time and have a great day.Business Response

WHEN I CALLED IN PAYMENT I STAYED ON THE LINE TO RECEIVE CONFIRMATION OF PAYMENT RECEIVED ACH .
THEY CLAIM THEY COULDN'T GET THE ACH THROUGH FROM THE SAME ACCOUNT WE HAVE USED IN THE PAST AND NEVER NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM ON THEIR SIDE.
WHEN SOMEONE RECEIVES A CONFIRMATION NUMBER BY THE COMPANY IT IS MY PRESUMPTION THAT PAYMENT IS DONE AND NO NEED TO CHECK BACK.

That on July 22, 2022 I received a bill from Advent health Hospital in the amount of $108.44 dollars for a procedure done at their Hospital that being Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening for which they billed Wellcare health $1,254.00 dollars. Wellcare paid Advent Health $1,145 dollars, however, there is no copay or coinsurance for the Screening procedure done on September 22, 2021. However, as i spoke to several people at Wellcare Customer Service Department and Wellcare Escalating Department I've got the runaround from Amanda, Von, Alex,Lucrecia, I placed a complaint with Medicare. Received a phone call from Latrella, Wellcare scalating department, on Saturday July 23, 2022 at 11:45 AM who advised me that she was handling my complaint with medicare and provided a case number and to call her the following week on Thursday August 4, 2022 for results. Spoke to Monica, Mysha, Lucrecia and again was informed that Latrella will not be in till next week and to call Tuesday. I asked Lucrecia that I would like to talk to a Supervisor, Lucrecia advised me that there was no Supervisor at the Escalating Department and that she was the highest level I can rich. We spoke for a while about the issues as to why Wellcare didn't pay and she came up with a bunch of reasons like they have to investigate the time, code provided by my PCP, error in billing by Advent Health and on and on but no answer or results whatsoever. When the Supervisor answered the phone they give me tha old standard: can you hear me, ere you there and they hanged up.Called Lucrecia again, big waste of time. For the record: Wellcare was fined $80 million dollars to the Esate of Florida for fraud to Medicare and Medicaid. Also, another case: Wellacare, Defendant shall satisfy these obligations by paying $10,000,001 pursuant to.....Also, and the federal government also joined the total $137.5 million settlement. This settlement is in addition to an $80 million deferred prosecution agreement.Business Response

8/16/25 @12:26 pm Outreach to The member complaint has been resolved please see the below root cause analysis and mitigation. Root Cause Analysis: The total allowance of claim applied towards the member outpatient hospital copayment because diagnosis code was not billed as the primary diagnosis code, therefore, the system logic did not map to the benefit screening to waive the copay. Mitigation: The claim has been adjusted to pay 100% with no member responsibility to preserve member and provider satisfaction. The provider and the member will receive a new remittance showing that the service has been paid in full. Payment will go out upon completion of the next check cycle.

I've been having issues with my dental coverage. I have to do a dental implants, which are a medical necessity.

I kindly ask for a reconsideration to my dental treatment request that my dentist sent to your plan, or please work with me to find a reasonable solution as I should have dental coverage of up to $5,000 which I am unable to use due to your plan's lack of care to my medical needs.

During the Medicare Open Enrollment period of 2021, I spoke with Therian S., who was an agent of Well Care. In the process of discussing health plans, Mr. S. said since my dentist was "out of network", my services would be covered at 50%.. In January of 2022, I had partial dentures made. On 5/25/22 my dentist office called and said the insurance company did not pay and that I had a balance of $2058.82. On 5/25/22 I talked to Well Care at length, told them my dentist did not get paid. They told me that dentures are not covered under my plan. I explained to them that I was missed-imformed because I was told by one of their representatives that my dentures would be covered at 50% since my dentist was out of network. All they could tell me was that partials are not covered under my plan. On 5/26/22 I filed a Grievance (#**********) against Well Care and asked that they pay the balance of $2058.82. because I was missed informed by ONE OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. On 6/16/22 Angel from Well Care called and wanted to confirmed where I got the missed information from. Said she will talked to her Manager and will file a complaint against the agent who gave me the incorrect information. On 6/23/22 i got a letter from Well Care saying "Unfortunately, Dentures are not a covered benefit on my plan". On 7/4/22 I wrote a letter to the CEO of Well Care asking for payment of the bill balance, and that I was not given a definitive answer as to whether Well Care would pay. As of this day (7/24/22) I have not heard back from the CEO. I would like for Well Care to reimburse me for the $2058.82 I had to take out a loan and pay so this will not go against my credit. I explained to the CEO that I am on a fixed income with disabilities. So please I am asking so I can pay this loan back. I look forward to hearing from you soon.Business Response

Wellcare Value Script, Operated by Wellcare Healthcare plans (XXX-XXX-XXXX) has been the provider of my mother's prescription insurance. Her last known prescription fill was April 5th, 2022 and on April 29th, 2022 I was advised that she did not have coverage. This was done without cause and without notification. I have been dealing with this company from April 29th, 2022 until July 21st, 2022 with numerous phone calls and numerous hours spent on hold. They tell me that my mother has not had coverage with them since November of 2019, yet they have provided her with prescription coverage and monthly Explanation of Benefits documentation. I have talked to first-line employees and I have talked to supervisors and I talked to people in their Escalation Department. As of July 21st, I was advised by an employee in their Escalation Department that there was no record of me ever calling Wellcare.

I have the prescription program and I was not made aware of the different programs that would allow me to choose the right coverage. I am currently not able to afford my medication and due to the high deductible, I can not afford to pay that and get my medications. I spoke to Well care several times and I received a letter saying that my dispute has been forwarded to the plan change department and I need to contact customer service to assist me with this form. I have called and I spoke to someone in the Philippines and when I ask to be transferred to the United States rep. I was placed on a long hold and then the call was disconnected. I need to get my medications and would like to change my plan to a plan that does not require me to pay a deductible. I understand it is a higher cost for the plan and that is perfectly fine for me. I don't understand the rep from the Philippines I try to get a resolution and the answers seem to be scripted answers. Please assist me with this important matter to get the plan I need and can afford my medications. Thank you in advance for all your assistance with this concern.Business Response

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
