    Benefits suspended because of their mistakes and I provided all documentation even had to paid doctor office to fill out paperwork because of their mistakes. They are costing me money that I don’t have in late payments, because now my bills are late.

    My benefits were suspended due to internal mistake and I’ve provided the documents to show that they should not have been suspended and yet again the documents were misread and my benefits remain suspended. I have called everyday only to be told is busy and will call me back, we are at business day 7. I call everyday but I’ve yet to get a call back. All because of an internal mistake followed by another mistake on document interpretation and lack of communication from this office. I have no other income and they have left me without 4 medications I need to be taking. All this could be avoided if a simple phone call could be returned. I understand they are busy but if the situation were reversed and they had no medicine , oxygen, food , money for fuel and was about to lose life insurance policy that has been had for 5 years. It’s one thing to make a mistake that’s human it’s another to be so arrogant that you cannot look at paperwork closely and own and fix mistake to help someone out and return one of my daily calls that each day I’m told will happen. So my review of this office is very poor, however, I would change if they would simply do what they say each day or at least one of them.

    The lady who works there who answers the phone is unpleasant, sarcastic and the most unprofessional person I have ever spoken to. Every time I call she gives me the run around and sounds like she hates her life. She is not helpful at all and refuses to help. The system is flawed and would be much better if someone more helpful and polite would be in that position.
