they don't even care to sign you up
I'm on the patient direct (discount) plan. The plan is up for renwal. Before renewing I went to their site to check on participating dentists. The site says there are no dentists within 100 miles of warren mi participating in the plan. I filled out a contact form asking for help on this. A week later I got an email saying "due to HIPAA regulations please email name, addr, DOB, and SSN". I replied that I won't send this info via email. I week later I received another reply saying "We need your information in order to see the plan you have. The patient direct card is a discount plan not actual insurance". (Think about this - why d you need this information to see which dentists participate in the plan you offer?) This time I called the 800 number. Eventually after going thru a menu got to a person. I explained that I'm looking for participating dentists near me. The person said I'll direct your call to someone who can help. That took me back to the same menu as when I first called. I gave up at this point. If it takes this much effort just to sign up imagine what it would be like to make a claim.
