When my doctor told me that the insurance companies are the main driver behind the everincreasing costs of prescriptions drugs, I did not belive him. I always thought it was the pharmaceutical companies, until most recent experience with Humana’s Medicare Part D insurance.

For example, Benicare all of the sudden costs something like $145 from $80 last year and , I believe, $40 the yoar before. Humana is selling like crazy so called generic equivalents.

Dorzolamide, a generic drug to Toprol (eye drops), cost last year $8, this year it is s $39, almost 400% more.

Come on insurance companies.

My wife and I both had part D coverage last year through humana. When the 2011 update book came out it was next to impossible to figure out what if any changes would affect our perscription expenses. So I called humana customer service. Went through all of our perscriptions one by one with the angent and was told ony one of our perscriptions was changing. One of my wifes was moving from tier 1 to tier 2 changeing the cost of that prescription from $7.00 to $40.00. Come January What a surprise we got when we went to pick up our prescriptions. The truth was the exact opposite of what we were told. For each of us only 1 prescription was staying the same. so in total 2 prescriptions stayed were they were on tier 1 they other 9 were moved from tier 1 to tier 2 meaning a $40.00 copay for each of those 7 medications. Basically the Humana Agent out and out lied to keep us paying for insurance with them. now we pay them a total of 86.00 a month for prescription insurance and they cover about $70.00 of our prescription costs. When your on SSD income is limited enough without the people who are supposed to be helping you lying to you and adding to your cost of living expenses. When I Filed a complaint with Medicare about this a Humana agent called us trying to tell us nothing had changed in the co-pays. Their only answer was to give us a phone number our Doctors could call an petition for a tier exemption. I think you all know pretty much were that one is going. Now the question we are facing is do we give up prescriptions and suffer the consequences or do we give up eating.

I had health insurance with Humana in the past and was very satisfied with it. They offer a wide variety of plans to fit your coverage and budget needs. I never ran into a doctor or healthcare facility that didn’t accept my insurance with no questions asked. Whenever I called I was able to get my questions answered in a knowledgeable and professional manner. I would recommend taking a look at what Humana has to offer.

It’s been often said that Health Insurance (or any type of insurance) is all the same UNTIL you actually have to use it. I personally have HumanaOne insurance in Florida and couldn’t be happier with it. Not only is it one of the cheaper companies as far as premiums go in Florida but it also seems to be one of the best.

I applied and was approved for my insurance the same day. And I know for a fact that they do offer coverage for certain minor pre-existing conditions.

Humana used to be known in the 90′s for have lower grade coverage in FL and I researched this before applying. It seems that back then there were only an HMO company and did not have a solid network. Now days they are a full PPO company offering a huge network of Doctors and hospitals. I have been able to travel around the country and still find doctors that will cover me IN-NETWORK.

I was very happy with the application process and the communication from the underwriting department. I can honestly say that I am VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!
