Starbridge Select - Star HRG ripoff delays and question every claim for more info months after filing Phoenix Arizona
I worked for company offering Starbridge Select and took months to get cards and company I worked for said they couldn't help. I had a couple of Dr's visits and he belongs to their group and they have not paid any claims, lab or medical bills due to an accident.
Even when they receive the information they ask for claims are not expedited and they continue to stall payments - good way to make money since these plans are sold to small work groups and individuals who can not afford medical mutual.
They offered me a cobra plan but I have the feeling it would be new day and same old story since the billing goes back to them.

Beware of Star HRG

I am a medical bill collector for a group of hospital nationwide. I collect on balances $10,000 and up.
From my personal experience on the end that has to try to collect payment from Star HRG, then subsequently from patients and guarantors I go as far as suggest you'd probably be better off with no insurance than with Star HRG.
They seem to question all claims to death, one month they want other insurance information, 2 months after they realize they have this they want dependant info, 90 days late they realize they could get you on the pre-existing clause, when they are finally done dragging their feet they usually only pay $2000 and say those are the maximum benefits on your policy....the same policy employees have beening pay $200 per month from their paychecks to get!! You'd be better off putting the money in your medical savings plan or just a savings account and use it if you need it...

I would like to get a bunch of us together and sue Starbridge HRG for our medical costs plus lawyer fees. "Are you in?"
