Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

I was shopping insurance plans in August 2017 and was contacted by a sales person pitching NCE Unified Health.  This plan is nothing but a SCAM!!! The rates all seemed to be very good, unlimited doctor visits for $50/visit, full diagnostic coverage, blood and lab work, etc. No deductibles and first dollar coverage. 

I asked what the co-pays were and was given a long winded answer that made it sound like this was an 80/20 plan.  Coverage for myself and 4 dependents would be $430/mo with an enrollment fee of $99.  What a terrific rate!   They were able to offer this great rate because there was an open enrollment going on with NCE (National Congress of Employers).  Additionally, for an additional $29.95/mo I could get a "prescription rider" that would cover up to 80% off on name brand drugs and generics for $5-$10.

I asked about pre-existing conditions and told this was not an issue.  I would be covered.  I asked specifically if this was a discount plan and was told it was not.  I was told I would need to answer several questions in order to accept their coverage that would be recorded (for my protection) and when asked if I understood this to be a limited (discount) plan that they were only referring to the prescription coverage.  I also had 10 days to cancel with a full refund.

I signed up for coverage on August 27 and received a welcoming e-mail along with and letter with my member ID information and a sample schedule of benefits.  After reading through the coverages it became clear that this was actually a discount plan. 

It actually says in the welcoming e-mail "that the insurance is not basic health insurance or major medical coverage, and is not designated as a substitute for basic health insurance or major medical coverage." 

Doctor visits limited to 5 visits and the plan will only pay $50/visit.  Limits of $50 per day on pathology and radiology with only 2 days covered per year.  Surgery and hospital benefits limited as well.  The prescription rider turned out to be nothing more than a discount card similar to what you can get for $20 at Walgreens and didn't even provide a substantial discount on my medications. 

 I called NCE on 10/12/2017 and told them I wished to cancel in accordance with the cancellation provisions. 

They do not provide truthful information and actually mislead you to believe they are selling something they really are not.  I hope this posting may help others to not fall for this same SCAM
