    My name is ***************************. I had health insurance through the company I worked at, called Broadmark ******************* was based out of ******* when I worked for them, and recently merged with another company, hence my layoff. I think they're still based out of *******.), until I was laid off in mid-February. I had a medical emergency shortly after and have undergone two brain surgeries since then. My health insurance was kept in place via a COBRA extension through a company named Alpine. Alpine was bought out, transferred my policy, or sold my policy to TASC insurance recently. Although I have made payments each month and on time to Alpine, TASC is now claiming I owe them $2793.02, and is threatening to cancel my health insurance due to non-payment. They have abruptly increased the monthly cost of my insurance which seems unfair. I submitted proof of my payments to Alpine which is the screenshot included in this claim. TASC will not accept the proof and says that Broadmark needs to send them the proof. I have reached out to HR at Broadmark to try to achieve this, but it will take some time. In the meantime, I am in danger of losing my health insurance less than a month after having my last brain surgery. Someone who had brain surgery so recently is supposed to be resting, not battling with larger corporations just to avoid paying the same bills multiple times. I need to keep insurance, and feel it is unjust for TASC to cancel my insurance for non-payment when I have paid. I would like TASC to acknowledge that I have paid, or work with Alpine or Broadmark to receive proof of payment. I would also like them to consider changing my monthly cost to its original dollar amount.

    I received a letter from TASC dated 5/22/23 on 5/26 to continue dental/vision benefits after being laid off from work. My COBRA benefits were to begin 4/29/23. I called TASC on 5/31/23 to provide my email address to activate my account. I made a $69.79 one-time payment that day for coverage for the balance of April, May and June which posted on TASC 6/2/23. Auto payments were to begin for July forward. My TASC ID is **************. When my dentist called United Healthcare for insurance approval on 6/2, insurance was denied. I called TASC and was told it could take "up to a month or so" to activate, that the problem was with United Healthcare. A call to United Healthcare confirmed they had not been contacted. So, I paid $211.00 out-of-pocket to my dentist and was told I could file a claim after insurance coverage was activated. At the end of July, when I reviewed my ********* statement, I saw the auto payment had not posted, so logged into TASC on 8/9. I had been terminated for non-payment. I called TASC and was told I would need to file a Service Request online, that customer service could not help. I filed Service Request #***SR23401634 on 8/16 asking for a refund of my $69.79 since I was never provided with coverage. I did not even try to ask for the $211 that I should have been covered for. The response on 8/21 from ************** was I did not pay for July and August, so was terminated and there would be no refund. I contacted United Healthcare on 8/23/23 and was told by **** they NEVER were contacted by TASC. United Healthcare contact: ************, Ref. # D7316562444017 documents/confirms there was no coverage after Conimar employee coverage ended in April 2023. My United Healthcare *********: *********. Since I was NEVER covered, I feel I should at least be refunded the payment of $69.79. I feel this is fraudulent to take money and not provide coverage.

    Good Morning,

    We are working with Ms. ******** previous employer as the funds received have been forwarded to them.  For Continuation of Coverage, TASC forwards any payments to the previous employer and asks them to reinstate coverage with the appropriate Insurance carriers.  We do not have the authority to reinstate coverage directly with the insurer as that has to come from the employer.

    We will contact Ms. ****** directly by Wednesday September 6th regarding the progress we've made in resolving this issue.

    Please let us know if you need additional information.

    Thank you.

    I have have been in contact with the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that their response is satisfactory to me. It has been determined that the employer, *******, received my premium payment sent to them by TASC, but never reinstated my insurance coverage. TASC has made an effort to contact ******* four times without response. TASC has been most helpful in trying to resolve the problem. My TASC contact and I will continue to try to reach the contact at Conimar, asking them to reimburse TASC so that TASC may reimburse me.

    Good Morning,

    The refund ************************ is asking for was rejected at his bank and never received by TASC.  He had setup ACH for payments and our attempt on 6/14/2023 to pull retroactive premiums due in the amount of $3,953.66 was never received.  After reviewing his account , there was a small refund of $15.38 which was mailed to him on July 26th.

    I had terminated the services because They are servies that I never had utilized. Honestly wasn't sure why I was sold the services and thus never used them. I called on 2 occasions to ask about the process of canceling and was told just to do it quickly but never a mention about a termination fee, much less a termination fee that equaled ******* when the monthly charges are only around ****** I find these fees excessive and unreasonable. I have looked at my paperwork and see nothing about a termination fee.

    Good Afternoon,

    TASC uses a standard 3-Year contract with customers.  We reviewed this client's activity and see that the plans were under-utilized as ************** indicated.  Since the plans were under-utilized we have cancelled these open invoices and any additional fees are no longer due.

    Please let us know if you need additional information.

    Thank you.

Payments to TASC made in full and timely for June,July,Aug,and Sept. premiums. BCBS and Met Life both said they did not receive payments from TASC or notification from them that coverage should be active.

    Good Afternoon,

    We worked with Mr. ******* previous employer as they are able to confirm with the insurance carriers that coverages should be reinstated.  They are checking with them today and we would expect coverages to be reinstated by tomorrow.  All premiums paid have been forwarded to ****************** previous employer and we have confirmed they have been received.  TASC sent reinstatement notices to the insurance carriers  on 6/21/2023, 8/4/2023 and again on 8/14/2023.  Due to privacy laws we cannot contact the insurers via phone and have to follow an EMail process for reinstatements.

    We advise the ******* to check with the insurance carriers tomorrow to confirm coverage.

    Please let us know if you need additional information.

    Central Scholarship, a non-profit organization, has been trying to sever all ties with TASC for four months (March 2023 - July 2023). Unfortunantly, we keep receiving invoices for early termination fees due to TASC's errors. The automatic renewal clause in their contract makes canceling your policy extremely difficult. I find TASC's customer service and billing department to be unhelpful, rude, and provides unacceptable service.

    Business Response

    Date: 07/28/2023

    Good Morning,

    The client signed a 3-year agreement with TASC that states if they cancel services in the middle of the 3-year term, administrative fees are due for the full term.  We reviewed our service records and do not show any complaints with the service related to this account.  The contract has provisions to waive the fees if we fail to cure any service issues within thirty days and we do not show any service related complaints on this account.

    Please let us know if you need any additional information.

    Thank you.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

    [ First, TASC  has an auto renewing system in place for three-year contracts.  This is very troublesome.  Second, as the newly named President, the signer who executed the original contract was not an officer of the non-profit, had no authority to sign the contract, and was terminated from the organization.  Third, once determined these services were no longer needed, TASC was contacted and CS took all necessary steps to terminate the contract including paying termination fees.  My complaint is that was are once again being asked to pay additional "termination fees" for services I'm informed were missed by TASC representative when closing our account - several months ago.  ]

    This business refuses to close our account despite several contact attempts since last fall to do so. They also continue to overcharge ** for services but can not provide a detailed description of ************** rendered. The worst customer service we have ever encountered.

    We worked with ************** to obtain the proper cancellation paperwork and we have credited any outstanding invoices.  TASC was providing IRS documentation needed to withhold employee wages pre-tax for out of pocket insurance premiums.

    In 2022, I contributed $2,443.75 to my Limited Purpose FSA. In December 2022, I submitted $3,069 of receipts for dental & orthodontic expenses covered by my plan. I have yet to receive any reimbursement. I have called multiple times requesting an update and I've only been told that it is delayed due to an "administrative issue with no estimated resolution date" 8 months is not a reasonable amount time to make someone wait for reimbursement with no explanation. I need a reimbursement for these expenses right away.

    Business Response

    Date: 07/24/2023

    Good Morning,

    We reviewed Mr. ******* 2022 Medical FSA claims and confirmed these were eligible for reimbursement.  We were able to immediately reimburse $500 and are performing additional processing to reimburse the remaining $1,943.75.  The additional funds should be available in 2-3 business days and we will EMail ************** when complete.

    Please let us know if you need additional information.

    During the past 4 weeks I filed about 30 receipts for reimbursement from funds held by TASC (my medical FSA plan), the designated provider of FSA's for *******************. I have filed for reimbursement from TASC for many years. It was generally easy. This year was horrible and I spent hours messaging, resubmitting required documentation etc. Multiple claims were denied 3 or 4 times. Each time I asked what the problem was and received a generic note stating what documentation was required - which IN EVERY CASE was what I had already uploaded and submitted. When I pointed this out and asked for an escalation to someone that could verify that all the requested information was in fact attached to my claim, they authorized my reimbursement. This happened over and over. 10 claims denied for no reason with some resubmitted 4 times - with exactly the same documentation before the authorized reimbursement. Along the way, they decided to stop answering my message requests for more detailed information about what was missing. They simply ignored my requests to process submissions. I have contacted my employer to complain about this unacceptable service from TASC. I'll ask for another option for my FSA's in future years. I would like their system to work better. Your staff must need MUCH better training. I'd also like reimbursement for the 9 to 10 hours spent on wrestling with TASC. I shouldn't have had to submit so many claims repetitiously.

    Business Response

    Date: 08/02/2023

    Good Morning,

    We are showing that TASC responded to this issue on July 20, 2023 and that response is below.  


    All of the funds available for Dr. ******** Medical FSA plan have paid out.  Reviewing his claims we discovered Dr. ****** was requesting reimbursement for items such as a ******* watch, gym memberships,vitamins, supplements and weight loss programs.  All of these items are not immediately eligible for reimbursement under FSA IRS guidelines. TASC requested letters proving Medical Necessity for these items which is the extra substantiation required to process these requests.  Our notes indicate we were clear on what was needed to approve these claims.


    Since there are no funds left to pay out, additional processing is not needed at this time. Please let us know if you need additional information.


    Thank you.

    I have a client, Rental **** who is a customer of **********************. My client's employees cannot access their HSA funds. Tasc's customer service department has promised to fix this issue, but to date this issue is still outstanding. My client has been contacting Tasc since 5/8/23. Employees still cannot access their HSA funds. Several escalations have been requested. This is fraudulent and unacceptable.
