Have used this plan twice so far. I saw a great doctor, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he refused to accept my plan again. I had a great visit, but when the bill came AmeriGroup had refused to pay portions of it under the auspices of (obviously needed and very basic services (a blood draw – they covered what the physician did with the blood sample; the other was a cheap test for a highly infectious disease)) the services not being authorized. What a hassle and a scam. I feel embarrassed for having such a chintzy plan, and I desperately hope AmeriCorp’s refusal to pay for my services doesn’t result in 1) my losing access to a great physician or 2) any appeals on my physicians part don’t end up costing me money.

Annoying phone calls and reminders. Poor selection of dr.s. Nosey personal questions that have nothing to do with health care. They waste money wanting to chat me up several times a month. Not looking for telemarketers just want a health insurance co.

I don’t understand all the bad talk about Amerivantage from Amergroup. Maybe it’s because I live in Nashville and my doctor options are so vast due to both Vanderbilt University Medical School and Meharry Medical College being here. Dentist are plentiful as well due to Meharry. I have had 0 problems finding providers. I have had 0 problems seeing specialists. They have done everything they promised me when they sent someone out to show me their plan. I am well pleased with Amerigroup!

I have only been an Amerigroup Advantage subscriber since September 1, 2011 and I already want out! However, I am stuck with them until the next enrollment period. I was told that they have doctors in my town but every doctor I called will not take Amerigroup any longer even though they are still listed as Amerigroup doctors. RED FLAG! I have asked repeatedly, for a packet that they were supposed to send me and I have yet to receive one. Now, because of Amerigroup, I cannot see the specialist that I need to see because I don’t have a Primary Care Provider to give me a referral even though my card says that I don’t need a referral, this is another Amerigroup lie! I will have to travel to another town to see some doctor who’s name I can’t even pronounce. It had been a nightmare!

I wish I never worked for Amerigroup. I never had health insurance the whole time I worked there. Now after being let go, I can’t get Cobra because Amerigroup was too cheap to pay for health insurance. I was a full time employee with no benefits. Amerigroup acts like they care about people, but it seems like they only care about the almighty dollar. I would steer clear of this company..

Do not use this insurance. I honestly believe they are scamming the poor and the system. Medicaid should find another company. My mom has pre cancerous colon mass that needs to be removed as well as gall bladder stones. Her current doctor under plan is strange, it is almost impossible to see him or make an appointment because voicemail always full or his number changes, if we show up they turn us away. She needs referral for preop and can’t get one. I tried calling other doctors under plan and was told they no longer accept because they are not able to refer patients to anyone causing liability issues for them. Yet amerigroup website still lists these doctors under there plan.

My 90 year old aunt is on this plan. Has been nothing but a hassle & run around to get any of the care she needs. Took over a year to get her a hearing aid. And the current incident is she fractured her pelvis right before Easter. She has been waiting on her case worker for 4 days to come by & evaluate her & when she finally showed up was supposed to call a family member so we would know what her treatment would be & case worker would not let our aunt call. So the outcome is my aunt signed a lot of paperwork & still knows absolutely nothing as to what care she is to receive. So much for treating the elderly with a little dignity & respect.
