You should contact your state's insurance department. Just about every state insurance department has a web site so check it out. When you are on the insurance department's web site, see if they keep a record of consumer complaints. If they do, you will learn that Mega Life leads the pack in consumer complaints for the amount of business they have in the state. As far as waiting for a favorable response from Mega Life to your complaint, you would have better luck waiting for pigs to sprout wings and fly. This country will have universal health insurance before Mega Life decides to give you any kind of apology. I can tell you that not all health insurance companies are created equal. Look for one of the "biggies" in your state or contact an independent insurance agent or broker who represents many different companies. Most agents of Mega Life are inexperienced reps who only sell that product. I have more than thirty years experience in health insurance and one thing I can tell you is health insurance isn't cheap and anyone who offers "affordable" health insurance with low deductibles and co-payments is either hiding something or flat out lying. I love to see someone that has a health insurance policy with Mega Life because unless they are uninsurable, it is an easy sale for me. Most of the time all I have to do is ask them rto get out their policy and read it. When they see what it REALLY covers, they are asking me to replace it.

I just have one suggestion Rick, try adding $2500 and $4000 again, I don't believe it comes to $7000. If you are going to TRY and back up anything that Mega Life does, TRY and at least get your story straight.

I had a stroke in December of 2007. I have $2500.00 Deductible and a 70/30 co-insurance plan to the next $4000.00, then they are to pay 100%. That is $7000.00 maximum out of pocket. $42000.00 later, there were bills coming from everywhere. Lab bills, MRI's, hospital bills, radiologist bills, Neurosurgeons bills, every other Dr. that was in the hospital sent Mega a bill. Bottom line after looking at over 50 EOB's (Explanation of Benefits) was that owed $6999.99. I could not be happier. I worked out a deal with my drs. and hospital and ended up paying 20% less or $5600.00. Mega also got about $8000.00 discounted because I was in network.
