      Hello *******,
      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any hardship or confusion this has caused. Our notes show the ************* Plus was purchased back on November 9, 2023, with Adaptive Health Solutions,LLC and agent *********************.  Due to First Enroll being a third-party billing company, we have no access to any other plans your agency may have enrolled you in during this process. We are escalating this matter to our ***************** team and refunding you in full.  Emails for each refund have been forwarded. However,payment 2 for $96.98 will be sent by check to the address on file. Once the check has been issued an email receipt will be sent. Please be advised that a refund can take 5 to 7 business days to reflect to your account. Thank you.

      First Enroll mislead me, much like many of the reviews here, to believe I was registering for Obamacare. I emailed to cancel and followed up with a call to cancel the same day I enrolled. No response from the agent, ****. They told me if it was canceled and if I get any mail to just ignore it. They also charged me when there should not have been any charge, according to someone I spoke with at the Marketplace, who explained to me these are agencies that often commit fraud and mislead vulnerable people to people they are signing up for ********* Due to the lack of cancellation, I am now facing a cancellation of my ******** coverage which is very disruptive to my health and well being. This company should not be allowed to operate. There should be an investigation to all of the agencies operating for the marketplace healthcare. The only website anyone should contact is the .gov. There isnt even a website for First Enroll that I can find now.

      First Enroll presents itself as a Healthcare Marketplace provider. I called to get a health insurance plan from “marketplace”. They told me Id have to pay $29.95 a month for this and authorize a monthly auto debit to get it. They said If receive ID cards in the mail before July 1 when my policy would go into effect. When I didn’t get the cards I called back. They said give them a little more time and assured me they would come. It’s now 4 days b4 my appt. I called again. I found out First Enroll is only a billing company and I have not purchased ANY HEALTH INSURANCE! I had to submit a letter in writing 15 days prior to my first bill to cancel. I did that. When I called again to speak to someone they said the complaint dept wasn’t open and that they worked from 9-5. It’s now 10 am and they r not answering the phone. As a result of this scam I will b without MEDICATION for 4 days since I moved my doc appt into the time frame which would “supposedly” b covered with my new health insurance plan—WHICH DOES NOT EXIST! I’ve sent a letter asking for my money back and to cancel. I’m calling my bank as well. THIS IS NOT A MARKETPLACE HEALTH INS PLAN!!

      The primary complaint is that a document was forged using my name. I was first contacted by the company via phone. The company is relentless calling from approximately 50 different phone numbers and close to 100 times in less than 24 hours. They are "selling" PPO health ********* plans. They would not provide any documentation on the plan benefits until a credit card number was provided but promised I would not be charged until I signed a policy agreement. I foolishly provided my credit card information so I could view the policy documents. After providing my card info I was sent a document to sign but no documents pertaining to policy benefits. I told the agent I was not comfortable signing the documents without additional information; I will not be signing anything and my card should not be charged, then the call was ended. About an hour later, I received an email with all of my application/enrollment information etc. I checked my credit card and I was charged for the policy $318 that I never agreed to. When I logged into the portal that was provided in the email, I found the application doc with a forged signature. I contacted the company and they are pending a full refund however forging documents is not an acceptable practice. The interactions and forging took place on 6/6/24 and customer service issued a refund on 6/7/24. The agent's name was **** ******* ***-***-**** ex. ***

      This company called me to enroll in healthcare through the marketplace. I was explained I was being enrolled into ******** ****** ********** I desperately needed healthcare because I have asthma. I was told it would be 127.98 per month. I was confused by the two separate charges on my account from First Enroll and from ********* I only just now realized they are two separate entities because I enrolled in a different healthcare and Ambetter was cancelled but I was still charged 127.98. After calling Ambetter, the *********** and First Enroll, I learned that it was a different thing I have never utilized or even known about. It is a discount card to be used at very specific medical practices. This is not something I was aware of, used, or needed. I feel taken advantage of and lied to by this company considering the only explanation of benefits from this company was sent to a spam folder and I thought I was being covered by *********

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      I was advised by the representative that I was only enrolled for an insurance premium at the price I had been continued to be charged. After switching insurance services to a new provider with a $0 premium is when I realized this extra $127.98 was for something I did not know I had consented to. I would like to request a refund for the amount I was billed on May 28th 2024 of $127.98 since that is within 30 days and I am no longer covered by the insurance your institution had set me up with and I will not ever use this discount thing your agency has been billing me for the past year. Please be so kind as to reverse just the most recent charge. I am out of work and you have set me back almost $2000 unbeknownst to me.

      On June 26th 2023 I purchased ****** care for my husband and myself with *** ***** *.
      On December 27, 2023 I called 1.***.***.**** and spoke to Ida/Iga to inform her that we wanted to discontinue our coverage as of January 31, 2024 as my husband would be starting ***icare on 2/1/2024 and I would be ******ing in a different plan because my doctor did not accept their insurance. I was told by Ida(Iga) that my payment on December 29th will cover me and my husband through January 31st and then the policy would be canceled.
      In reviewing my **** bill today (5/3/2024) I noticed I was still being billed by ***** ****** ****** plan for $485.97/mo.
      Today I called ***** ****** at ***-***-**** (provided in my **** bill) and spoke to Chris who transferred my call to the Supervisor Choline who then transferred me Iga in the cancelation department. Iga was able to refund the April charge and cancel the policy but they would not refund more than one month because they have no record of my phone call with Ida(Iga) on 12/27/2023.
      I took notes during that call and believe there is an error on their end, either a failure to record it or deleting it after the fact.
      I was also told that the fault is mine because I didn't catch the billing error sooner.
      The amount entered below reflects the payments taken in error dated 1/29, 2/29, and 3/29/2024

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.
