UnitedHealthcare Positive Reviews
Convenient, easy-to-use and usefulThe app allows you to view claims your providers have submitted to the insurer. Some of the claims are eye opening and will surprise you - such as how many claims a single visit might entail. You have the opportunity to mark-off which ones have been paid to assist the insurer to track whether your deductible has been reached. The app also allows you to quickly check which providers are in-network. Prescriptions on OptumRx are managed on a separate app. You can also save the contacts of your regular doctors for easy reference. It will also prompt you to look after your health by getting your blood pressure taken, getting a lipid panel or getting a flu shot. However, you do not put anything personal into the app. It does not collect your health data, so that’s good from a privacy perspective, but if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll need another app..TzupsVersion: 1.8.5
Absolutely, THE BEST...I have never been so happy with a customer service representative then I have been with the ones I have spoken to here at United healthcare. It's hard for me to believe that every single time I call, the representative is kind polite patient and most of all doesn't talk to me like I'm a
4-year-old. They treat me like I am their beloved mother like I am part of this giant family and I am the most important person to them every single time I call. It's just absolutely amazing and I always walk away from the conversation. happy to United healthcare for finding such wonderful representatives. And the plan that I have works perfect for me. I cannot tell you how happy I am with United healthcare because there are no words that would ever describe the glow I have after each phone call. Thank you UHC, 💕👍🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏽🩷💕.ArseholeappVersion: 2.66.0
Excellent care provided to me!All I can say is that since joining up with y’all I have received and been provided the most positive and utmost of care by EVERYONE whom has come into contact with me! Be it a doctor, nurse, ( which you kinda hope to get the highest level of care from ) but to the folks cleaning the rooms, bringing meals, and changing the trash in the rooms. There has never been an instance where ANY hospital employee hasn’t exemplified the Upmost of care or concern towards myself or my issues! To my hospitalization that matters most to my stay, departure as well as spreading to word to friends and family that my be needing y’all’s help. There is No where else I would want to go also no where else I would advise Anyone to go knowing they are in need of medical assistance! Don’t get No better than Y’all!.1Change4meNowVersion: 2.21.1
Easygoing during navigationEasy to navigate on this site. I can see everything I want and need about my health care! I can even enjoy games, read articles, find a gym, get a membership even!! But most of all I can add my personal physical activity and earn money to spend on whatever I want!! I can even keep track of my days, my earnings and the $40 quarterly to spend at Walmart, CVS, or Walgreens! Of course, it’s limited to certain items but even that is easy to navigate through! So much more than these things I mentioned here; but take a look for yourself and you’ll find more than what I have mentioned here!! Have fun, enjoy life as you can, and always smile at the world. You may be talking to or looking at someone who suffers more than you..JanisfreeVersion: 2.53.1
Best experience I’ve had healthcare apps!I will say that I have been very impressed this app. I have had BCBC and Cigna’s apps, and by far UHC has been the most functional and user friendly for me!
I have only been using it since September 2019 when my benefits switched. All I can say is I never missed a beat and have not had to call UHC for anything to date! For me this alone has me smiling!
I give it 5 stars, but I am great at updating my reviews if and when my experience or thoughts change! Keep it operating properly and don’t try to improve or change it if it’s not broken. Too many companies do this and someone needs to say enough at times! When ease turns to frustration say good bye to things that affect your bottom line!!.Just me Lil 'b.Version: 1.5.6
ReviewI’m on Medicare I pay for you guys as a back up plan however you say it so when I try to search your site for a doctor it links me to Medicare. I did not see an app for Medicare and Medicare is hard to look up doctors, which is Medicare‘s fault I know, but you work with Medicare, so I would think this would be easier to find a doctor.
I have insomnia. So my doctor mentioned a sleep specialist. well, your site and Medicare site will not let me find a doctor listed. There isn’t such a doctor or there is not a doctor of sleep medicine I guess I’ll have to wait and talk to my doctor. I have to remember a lot more to talk to him about.
I thought he was gonna make me an appointment and then call me back, but I have to go back to him sooner than I was so now I gotta talk about all this all over again. I am just trying to figure out my sleep problem..HickmissouriVersion: 2.63.0
Quality Health Care AppThis app is very useful and I find myself using it frequently. It is well-designed and relatively intuitive; for starters it is Faced ID-enabled so I don’t have to go looking for my userid and password every time. It was also smart enough to look up both my current policy and one from a previous job so I can check my full history. All of my recent claims are here and there are quick links to contact the nurse line, find a nearby provider, or talk directly to UHC.
It would get five stars except for two things: there’s no way to initiate a claim from the app (you have to use the full desktop site) and there seems to be no way to integrate with any medical records (for example, it keeps suggesting that I get my flu shot, even though I got it during a covered visit).
Overall, though, it’s a very solid app..LionraiderVersion: 1.6.18
Very convenientI love that all my information is at my fingertips including my HSA balance. Very easy to add your doctors that are in network. However I find it annoying that I could not add an out of network physician as my GP. My GP is a PAC, I honestly have never even met the doctor listed on my scripts (who happens to be in-network). I think a seamless integration with MyChart and GoodRX should be something the developers should look into for a one stop shop with appointment scheduling, test results, and medication cost options. As it is now, the user interface is clean and easy to navigate without more than a couple of minutes poking around when you first use it. If you a falling apart like me and have frequent office visits and multiple doctors, it’s a handy app to keep your insurance information and claims in order..CrystalregVersion: 1.8.8

ReceiptsI do like the barcode scanner. This allows me to be able to check it before I get to the check Stan to see if it's covered. A lot of times I don't have the cash or money to purchase something. So this will give me a heads up.
I would also like it if I could look at my receipt and know which items were covered by my UHC card so when making a grocery list of items needed I can get familiar with the things that are covered and not covered based on my receipt. This has been my goal for the last year is to try to figure out how I can tell whether or not it was paid by UHC by looking at my receipt..Grndma TVersion: 2.53.0
Changed without warningI downloaded this app about a year ago. As far as the app itself is concerned, I was pleased with it. I didn’t need it for a while until today; when I tried to log in to resolve an insurance mixup, I was denied entry. After spending some time checking my email and password, I came to the App Store to see if I could get some info here. That’s when I learned that some time during the interim the UHC app was no longer usable by AARP Medicare Advantage/UHC customers. I will be deleting this app - why should I keep something I can’t use? - and I understand UHC has the right to simplify things on their end, but it would have been nice to have received some warning of the change BEFORE I had to use it. The app itself gets five stars; the lack of communication dropped it to three..Acoustic WordsVersion: 1.5.7
Great AppThe only complaint I have is; I can’t reach someone on the phone to correct the mistakes on diagnosing what the doctor put in notes. They are listed incorrectly! No one wants to answer the phone number listed on here & if someone does happen to answer, they’re foreigners and they don’t understand what I’m conveying. It’s quite annoying! I’d like to have the correct information on here but instead it shows I’ve been diagnosed incorrectly. When the doctor wants to rule something out by me getting blood panel done, it automatically puts that as a diagnosis when in reality it wasn’t. Therefore, this needs to be corrected!.Picky LynVersion: 2.46.0
UHC is fine with meI just went to Walmart and cvs today to buy groceries. Everything went fine except that I had to pay .44 out of pocket which is no big deal really. My total was about 155$ and change while my card was 154$ and some change. Like I said no big deal once I got home I realized the toothpaste I bought at Walmart wasn’t covered fully on the card. The cost of the toothpaste was $4.97 I’m assuming I paid for the tax on it. However, the app is very easy to use and understandable. The rewards works. I love this app and it has free gym membership at ymca for where I’m at. Thank you UHC for all that you do!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️.Porcha who is honestVersion: 2.51.0
I can’t wait for socialized medicine.I have had chronic back pain that has caused me to be on light duty at my job as a firefighter. I have had this issue for over one year and UHC has repeatedly denied the MRI appointment my doctor and a specialist referred me to. After weeks of Co-pays for precursor PT appointments and Doctors visits to qualify for an MRI I was again denied. A UHC procedure review panel doctor stated it was not required. I had to call repeatedly to get through to there claims department to get approval for the MRI. After co-pays time out of work and time and travel expenses it would have been much less to pay out of pocket. To top it off the corticosteroid injections needed after MRI were not covered by insurance. Keep up the good work UHC!.Mr BodangleVersion: 2.14.0
Getting betterI must say UHC is getting better. From the original app to present is better 100-fold; however, a couple things I would still like to see.
Please give us a four digit login pin. Having to enter a password every time is taxing. At least you allow password saving (yessss!).
Now, using the scanner is far faster! New app is nowhere near as clunky as the old one. Yay! I like that it doesn’t log out automatically now also. I would like to see the scanner feature work a little smoother. Can you get it a little more seamless? Perhaps, can we get a back button or have continuous scanning?

Choosing a pcp.I received a list of doctors to choose as my primary care physician and the list I was given showed that their office was accepting new patients. I did not see the doctor for a year and half so recently I tried to make an appointment and I was told they were no longer accepting new patients. I had a difficult time finding someone that would accept patients. This was after calling and talking with united healthcare representatives who gave me information that wasn’t right one number I got was a resident care facility.

Dedicated UHC EmployeeI wanted to say how helpful the UHC rep. Natalie from Columbus, Ohio was last Friday, April 15th. She stayed on the phone with me for over an hour assisting with talking to my current ENT Dr.’s office that was going to do my ear surgery, trying to convince them to pick up UHC/AARP insurance. She was trying to save me money! Researching Network doctors and finding one for me. She connected me with the rep. At the Essentials Account to order diabetic testing supplies, staying on the line until the order was completed. She explained in detail to me what the Essentials account was. I believe she went above and beyond any reps in other insurances normally do!
Thanks Natalie!

App doesn’t work since last updateAfter the last update in July the app doesn’t work anymore on iPhone 14 Pro. Trying to sign in it says you can’t use Face ID without logging in first and when you try to go to the log in screen it just comes up with an error. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it is the same. Same problem when downloading and attempting to log in on both my wife(iPhone 12 Pro) and my daughters(iPhone 11) phones.
Update: Went to take a screenshot of the error to send to Customer Support and of course suddenly the app loads right up and signs in. 😑 Why you make me look like a fool technology?.EnderofthesandVersion: 2.38.1
Still needs debuggedInterested in the step activity for rewards I am very disappointed it does NOT work. Specifically, when entering info for my activity tracker, a Fitbit, the app does NOTHING but sit and spin. It never finds my Fitbit, continues to just spin and won’t stop unless I cancel or quit the app. My Fitbit is on my wrist, the Fitbit app is on the same iPhone, and ……….. nothing. Being teased with rewards then not connecting is disappointing. Oh, and the “Manual” mode? Funny how the date is always 8-10 days away into the future before being allowed to enter. Wait for the 8-10 days, right? Oops, now it’s another 8-10 days. Pffft.
Other than that the app is very slow to track past medical appointments, but does OK for prescriptions..Inter-Space FreightVersion: 2.12.0
It helps me to pay groceriesI need all the help I can get to pay down grocery bills with all the prices going up substantially. There are a couple of grocery stores very close to home. The first one is Publix. The second one is Sprouts, and the last one is Aldi’s. Walmart is not close to home. It’s a drive and always packed with people. I’ve been to other Walmart and the one on Semoran Boulevard in Castleberry is not the cleanest Walmart I’ve been to. The Aldi’s Grocery is really the best retailer in town because their prices are substantially stable, they have a lot of organic meats that are “not overpriced” compared to Publix, and lately they have been incorporating name brand products, which I prefer over generic, however, they do not take the Uhc rewards card. I would never go to Sprouts, because it’s 3 times overpriced. I’ve been to Winn-Dixie, but it is far from home to get to. It is a clean store.
Please put Aldi’s grocery store on your list of UHC stores to use. Thank you..Eileen WpkVersion: 2.56.0

First time userI used the UHC APP to check on my claims. I have been to the hospital due to COVID19 and was very ill so I just want to make sure that all the Dr’s (heroes for me) that took care of me get paid. When checking the claims see the pulmonologist & ambulance didn’t get paid. Right on the app have choices to take care the claims , for me I like to speak with someone not a machine so you can request a call right away or you have the choice for UHC to call you back. That is a nice figure to have I tried out, requested a representative spoke with then and got both of the claims fix. I recommend the UHC app.
Thanks you.Coolgirl1324281Version: 1.7.7
Great AppThis is a great app. It makes things so much easier. You can access your is card. The app provides you your recent EOB’s as well as your deductible amount and how much money has been applied toward it based on your medical visits.
The best thing about this app is you can search for a specific procedure. This allows you to view the doctors in the area you live or nearby. You see the doctors name as well as reviews. It will show you what the doctor charges and gives a detailed breakdown of what you will pay out of pocket with explanations. You can use this to “shop” different doctors for a lower cost.

Not worth usingThis app would be great with a few changes. When shopping for OTC products I use the built in barcode scanner. If this told you the item was good for OTC, or not covered, but you have enough rewards money to cover it that would be great. Unfortunately the way the app works is if you have any money on your Ucard scanned items come up green. It is not until after checkout that you realize all your rewards were used and you still have most of the OTC money left. As an update to the new version, the product scanner does NOT work on my iPhone. I put in an incident report some time ago and thought this new version would fix that..David@$Version: 2.48.0

ABSOLUTE WORST INSURANCE COMPANY!!!!UHC should not be in business!! They hire the most incompetent people in a profession that requires serious attention to detail! My appointments were run through as my husband’s. I talked to at least 4 different people about this and they don’t correct it after insisting it will be handled. I talked to a supervisor (after 4 different calls to verify in-network doctors) and she insisted a doctor was in network just like my mobile app indicated he’s in network, only to be told by the doctor’s biller that he is definitely NOT in network for my plan, but for a different UHC plan. When I talk to the UHC “customer service agents” they ask me to provide phone numbers and addresses for the doctors. I tell them it’s right there in the mobile app program! “Oh, you’re right!” They exclaim in surprise. They had me listed with a Primary Care Physician I never heard of and assured me they will fix it right away, but to date it still hasn’t been fixed. The supervisor today assured me she could fix it then says she can’t figure it out! Absolutely THE WORST INSURANCE COMPANY EVER!!! Their app doesn’t work, they have doctors listed in network when you sign in under your plan but those doctors are NOT in network. Ask one question and you’ll get 10 varied answers, none of the correct. HORRIBLE!!! DON’T USE UNITED HEALTHCARE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!.HONESTYPAYS$Version: 2.26.2
Terrible glitchy appSearching for a healthcare provider using this app is a nightmare. Good luck searching for a specific provider. Is it under doctors, Specialists, facilities? Who knows! And good luck to you trying to figure it out. Not as simple as just entering a search term and seeing what results match your inquiry like a normal search engine with other insurance companies.
To top it off, once you find a list of potential providers, make sure you go through them quickly before the app decides to log you out and you have to sign in and start over halfway through your review.
But, that also depends if the app decides to let you log in at all. Depending on its mood it may log you in or it may tell you that your record wasn’t found, despite using FaceID linked to the same password that’s always worked for you.
But worst of all, I was able to save a list of all my health providers for easy reference which you’d think is great. Well, that is until the app decided to one day delete all my saved providers so that I had to look for them all over again using their terrible search engine and save them again. Who knows how long they’ll last in my Saved bucket this time.
I hate this app so much I have basically just resigned myself to using the desktop version..DKKeyesVersion: 1.8.14
Fine Until They Updated it.When I first used the app in March it worked fine but since the update it’s in a constant state of failure. It freezes, crashes and simply doesn’t work constantly. Due to some error with me having two different insurance policies I wasn’t actually able to log in to my account for months after the update. Even more frustrating was before the update, their behavioral health section was actually much easier to navigate and more robust then my previous insurance, Anthems. Now they’ve changed the way BH is organized and you can no longer search by profession only the vague BH issues anxiety, family issues and substance abuse (you can do a blanket search for any profession but the app crashes so much when I try this it might as well not be an option). This leads to not being able to find therapists, psychologists or psychiatrists who are covered. They seem to list nurse practitioners first and foremost, and while they can be great for medication management they are not a one to one replacement for all mental health services . Even more frustrating they removed all crisis information, beyond a number, such as in patient facilities so good luck if you or your loved one has one..MegalodonTiredVersion: 2.62.0
IneffectiveIt has a list of the claims that have been made to your account. Many of the claims on that list have a button that say "pay now" as if it was a debt you owed as a copay. UHC customer service says the list shows up like that because they do not and cannot know what has already been paid (like same-day at the doc's office) and what has not been paid. You, the member, would have to be perfect at keeping track of every single claim and whether of not you paid the copay that day or not. If you pay on the app and remember later that it was something you had already paid, it will be almost impossible to get the correction made. No only will you need to remember which copays you mistakenly paid, but UHC uses different 3rd party processing companies and you would have to go through a lot of stress and frustration to get to the correct one, only to hope that their customer service is competent enough to help you. If they aren't, you start the whole calling process all over again. This app has not helped me one bit. It had, without a doubt, complicated things exponentially for me. THIS IS THE MOST USELESS APP I HAVE EVER DOWNLOADED. And I hate having UHC, as well. It is a ridiculously unorganized company..AndyKyooVersion: 2.58.0
Get Mixed SignalsI’ve used both the website and the app and I’ve had issues with both. I get my OTC credit each month and I’m supposed to be able to use it to pay on certain utilities like water, electric. I’ve tried a handful of times to fill out the info needed (on the UHC website)for my monthly benefit to pay on my water bill, which keeps going up inexplicably, but it has never worked right. I even had assistance from a representative and I got a bounce back email informing me my water bill couldn’t be processed. Later I found out it’s because UHC has my water company under the wrong name, same thing happened with my electric company so I gave up on that after I spoke to 2 different reps telling them they have the name of my utility companies wrong but nothing changed in the system. The app will tell me a product is approved to use on my OTC benefits only to get to the checkout and I end up having an out of pocket balance and it doesn’t tell me WHICH product wasn’t covered even though I scan every single one and they’re green. Very frustrating and a little embarrassing..AmandaZ529Version: 2.67.0
Great app until…I really like the app to see my spending and help keep track of benefits. The problem is when you reach out for support through phone or chat it’s awful. I’m dealing with dental claims for my children. There are so many loopholes to get out of paying it is ridiculous. This is for cleaning and X-rays. My poor dentist office has been doing their best to help with this but they are frustrated and have not had to deal with this issue from other plans. They will not pay on my daughter’s cleaning because she is 12 1/2 and requires adult cleaning(she has no baby teeth left) but they will only pay if she’s 13. The refused to pay the dentist for even the child cleaning price. My son had x-rays and will only cover one side because you can’t bill for 2 sides on the same appointment. Omg you can’t make this up. If your considering this company for dental insurance beware. They also quit speaking to me on the phone (I was not using foul language just frustrated) and would let me take the survey the offered in the beginning and I can no longer reach out to them on the app lol. I feel like I’m back in high school!!!.Wildflower45Version: 2.60.0
This app went backwards and deleted claims payment linkUp until they updated the app within the last month or two, if you had an HSA or a flex plan, you could pay directly from the app with your plan in 2-3 clicks. This recent update deleted that capability and made you pay via the main website. (Ok, I thought, not as convenient, but not a big deal.) Well, this meant several long verification sessions and finally took me to an independent payment site where there is no option of linked payment accounts, and worse yet, they require you to find the routing and account numbers, (and not even pay with a debit/credit card) which you cannot find the Optum Bank account numbers through the app, nor download a statement with the account numbers through the app. I finally gave up with UHC and said, “Skip this, I’m going to my hospital app.” (Which let me pay with my HSA debit card and payment completed). So UHC, your updated app stinks. Please bring back linked payment capability to make easy payments from the app. Must be your app developer took a vacation from his brain when he updated the app..Jserman31Version: 2.17.1
Liked the UHC Motion app way moreI do not care for the new reward app. Before with motion it was really about hitting goals for walking more in 3 ways throughout the day . Getting up and walking so many steps in a few minutes several times a day, walking over 10k daily and walking quickly 30 minutes a day. That is really encouraging people to move more. Now with rewards you get a little $ for 5k and a little more for 10k. That’s it as far as physical activity. Instead you get money from attaching your device and filling out a health survey, which requires no effort other than tapping a screen and is just a way for the insurance company to get information about people’s health, probably for future insurance limitations. The reward program certainly doesn’t encourage anyone to be more physically active, 5-10k is minimal and doesn’t require the effort of moving multiple times a day or walking quickly. Looks like it is more about insurance information gathering than really encouraging healthy habits. Just very disappointing. Also, it is not syncing well..MikadolVersion: 2.60.0
Prescription payment method updateCalling United healthcare, Medicare, RX for an update to the payment method for our co-pay for prescription drugs was painful. The United healthcare advocate had limited English skills and a headphone that either had a broken cord or faulty Mike. On the second try (after having been on hold for 35 minutes the first time), the United healthcare advocate was finally able to transfer us to a an optimum RX advocate. That advocate was a refreshing change in that her English skills were fully legible understandable, and she was able to take the new credit card number and update the account pleasantly, and with minimum fuss. I would give the optimum representative, five stars, and the two stars goes to the Medicare RX advocate. It might be worthwhile for United healthcare to consider allowing optimum RX to have their own direct website to handle these issues to avoid pain points for their customer calling United healthcare directly..Decider2Version: 2.49.0
DentalI went to affordable dentures in Clarksville Tennessee to get my dentures replaced. They were so rude and she made a comment if you want to refund just ask for it and I did and I never received my dentures from that dentist and I got my $375 backsent back to my bank cause I paid with a debit card and they were never supposed be paid the $1250 that you people paid them in September why I contacted UnitedHealthcare and their office and United healthcare spoke to the representative there so why did you pay them $1250 in September when you knew I was not going to return there and my dentures were not completed in July. He spoke to the office manager and her name is Deborah Well representative from United healthcare did and now that that dentist has $1250 of my money and I never received the dentures. There’s a problem here the representative won’t even discuss it he says that I have to call the dentist and ask for my money back why you should have never paid it..CvtsgkddniVersion: 2.55.0
Using UHIt’s difficult to find information about my policy in detail. I have to call often and am on hold forever. I’m also getting denied for services that I pay thousands of dollars for each year. It’s very unfair to have someone deciding your life for you and denying services when they aren’t in constant pain. I’m sure if they were in this pain, they would want to be helped. It’s very unfair and disturbing that a human has such control over another human and with no concern for their health and quality of life when that’s what they are actually supposed to help you with and to help you be healthy. I’d like the person whom denied my test to live in my body- let’s see if he/she could last 5 minutes! But hey, me being denied doesn’t have any effect on his/her life and health! So I guess it’s easy to not care about the people paying them their salaries to deny healthcare!.Scot RoyaltyVersion: 2.8.0
IVIG Delivery, billing errors, and coding errorsOff and on for the past 2, years, I have been jumping through hoops to take care of multiple, as in at least 20 billing and coding errors, that result in me getting charged hundreds of dollars each tim, when it should be covered 100%. I am being charged as a home infusion, when I have NEVER, EVER had a home infusion my whole life. I have always gotten my infusions at an infusion center. I have also had my IVIG delivered to my house, instead of the infusion center, and they had to return to pick it up. I just received another notification today, saying another IVIG delivery will be arriving tomorrow. It’s never ending. I have been told over and over and over that it will be red flagged, and I won’t have to worry about it anymore. I have even spoken to my Patient Navigator. This is very stressful, and not good for my health, as stress is a HUGE factor in the possibility of a relapse related to my autoimmune disorder..Cunthia AlbrightVersion: 2.0.1
I wouldn’t recommend itI’ve have some thing where I have Medicare or I had Medicare with Medicaid as the supplement. Our United healthcare was supposed to make this easier and seamless and that they work to take care of the bills and then send them to Medicaid if there was anything left and magically this is not happening I have put in about 30 hours so far and still keep getting the runaround… even though I called to Medicare and they called my insurance agent both yelled at that yes they should be doing exactly that they should be just paying the bill and sending it off instead they’re sending the bills back saying that that’s my share yeah definitely not what I would recommend. I am still waiting for a callback from finally getting a call back about the claim being escalated and yep 24 hours later still no call back.Malbaviper12Version: 2.17.1
Real timeThe app timed out making a primium payment. Logged back in & looked for my payment & could not see a pending payment, nor a recent payment under my bill. Checked with my bank & there were no payments initiated. Because of the time out & after checking two places in my account as well as my bank, made another payment. Spoke to a rep to confirm payment & it went through twice. Neither payment initiated showed on my app or in my bank account as pending.
I was told they were unable to cancel the second payment & was told to wait 14 days to request a refund. I didn’t need a refund, I needed the transaction to be cancelled; no money was in motion.
It’s Sept 2023 & a health provider is unable to cancel an electronic payment that was just made?? C’mon. Even my work programs allows for corrections in a specific timeframe..GrandValleyGoddessVersion: 2.41.0
Unfair usagesI’m disappointed in this card program because everyone who has ever been on United healthcare knows that the blue card was the best and now this Ucard it’s okay but Not great either, I understand if some patients want to use it to pay there bills with it that’s fine but others who need to get groceries and pain medication rely on this card and to purchase all inconstance products can’t get any of them or most of the products like feminine spray, underwear in any manufacturer and I know i tried to get the assurance underwear and it says “”item not in catalog yet””, it was 5 months ago why do y’all change items at your discretion STOP DOING THAT THIS IS OUR MONEY NOT YOURS I Don’t care who told you that lie but Stop making excuses for everything and let the patients who own this card decide for themselves!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯💯💯 God bless you.Blue card LMSVersion: 2.37.0
First time user deeply unsatisfiedI called the agent early last week to set up an appointment. This was my first time trying to use my benefits. Fortunately, I’ve been healthy for almost the last two years. I called and receive help with finding a provider and to make an appointment. At the time I called the agent I was very busy and didn’t have time to write down my appointment in my providers name but the helper insured me that I will receive a text message and notification of my appointment and the time that I needed to be there. Now it’s time for my appointment. I remember the day, but not the time, and I was looking for to having the app to remind me of the time and place I needed to go. Unfortunately this did not happen and I try to use the app to receive confirmation, no help there. I’ll call my agent no help. and for this reason, I am a first time user that is deeply disappointment..Valerie b BurgosVersion: 2.44.0
Prescription medication approvalThis is the second time a get a prescription from a doctor and it is an excluded one by my insurance. I called to get an alternative drug for my son who is in severe pain and the optimum rep told me that an alternative was available but I needed to get prescribed by my doctor AGAIN. Which translates to another doctor visit with another copay for another day. meanwhile, my son has to endure the pain much longer. I am Very and I mean VERY dissatisfied and disappointed with my service so far with this new insurance. I wish there was a simpler system were I could check while in visit if medication was a non-excluded one before I left my visit. I cannot be on the phone for over an hour with first the pharmacy and then the optimum rep while my doctor awaits for a response . I feel that I will be a member for just this year because of the service..Another dissatisfied memberVersion: 2.63.0
FrustrationI don’t like ordering on the internet. Twice I’ve just about finished my order and it logs me out. It’s the last day of the month so I can’t order tomorrow when I can speak to someone and give them my order. I also don’t like that so many things that are in your paper catalog are not found when I try to order them. It’s been very frustrating to try to order this way. I guess I’ll just have to miss out on the items I could have had. That also means my husband will not be getting anything on his order either since I usually order for him. Also when I try to check out it tells me I have the wrong address but it’s correct I missed out on the first quarter because we were at our winter home and wouldn’t have anyone here to pick the order up. As you can probably tell, I am upset and frustrated..Hal HallettVersion: 2.60.0
Hard to find information about cost of careI’ve been phoning your help line to find out if an anesthesia group is in network. They couldn’t find the info. Also, Several months ago, I received a postcard from UHC about a free hearing test. I phoned the number on the postcard. The agent gave me the name of an audiologist. I assumed this audiologist was in network but she wasn’t. Why would I be sent to someone out of network? It would be better/easier if there was one obvious page with a space for a search query
for all procedures, drugs, providers, facilities.
It has taken me two days to find the information that the anesthesiologist for my cataract surgery is in network. Of course, I still don’t know what my out of pocket expenses will be and my surgery is Tuesday morning. Thanks for letting me vent..Karen WilcoxVersion: 2.24.1
DO NOT PAY CLAIMS WITH APP!!!I thought it was super convenient that you could pay your copay/medical bills through this app with just a couple taps. How cool! The transaction shows up on my bank account in seconds! Incredible day and age we live in to pay medical claims instantly over an app! N O P E!!!!!!!!!!! When you tap “pay” on a medical claim and put in your credit/debit/backlog account info, all your money is going straight to United Healthcare, NOT TO THE MEDICAL PROVIDER YOU ARE TRYING TO PAY!!!! Ya know what UHC then does with your money? Writes out a PAPER CHECK and MAILS IT WITH USPS to your medical provider. I paid a claim like this on August 7th with UHC, then 2 weeks later got a call from collections for my medical provider saying I was OVERDUE!!!!! Took me an hour on the phone with UHC support to figure out OH, UHC CAN TAKE MY MONEY IMMEDIATELY, BUT SENDS IT TO THE DESIGNATED RECIPIENT VIA SNAIL MAIL. Disgraceful. Embarrassing. Pitiful excuse for an app/company..ErraticEleganceVersion: 2.65.0
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS THING TO WORK? 😡After an incredibly frustrating experience with the PHONE BOT when we had a question about something about our coverage, when the BOT suggested downloading the APP because the APP was supposed to be SO MUCH EASIER, we thought, sure, anything to not have to struggle with the PHONE BOT again. Downloaded the app, and USING THE SAME INFORMATION the PHONE BOT used to find our account, we have TRIED and TRIED and TRIED to to create an account. It keeps saying it can’t , doesn’t recognize, etc. INFURIATING! Our unhappiness is possibly more a function of the FAILURE of the United Healthcare’s system to RECOGNIZE a member that it was able to find not ten minutes earlier. It is NOT WONDERFUL AND EASY IF YOU CAN’T GET IT TO WORK! 😡🤬
IIF WE CAN EVER get signed up and logged in, I will be happy to revise my review in light of any actual experience of using the app..VLNewbyVersion: 2.48.0
Prescription refills.I’m a new customer and I have to say so far I’m not impressed with the service I have received. The first problem was with the initial sight up person I spoke with in which I was told everything was good to go but another day I had to complete the application with payment information and complete my paperwork. I would not have ever received any medications had I not followed up on my application.
I don’t hear very well and when I’m directed to speak with a foreign country it makes my experience worse. I would appreciate communicating with a person speaking English well.
I have used another pharmacy for several years and if my prescriptions are not filled correctly and on time I will definitely change back to that pharmacy. Sincerely,.Bakerden BigmanVersion: 2.26.2
App is great - when it worksLet me preface by saying I am new to UHC. I recently moved, so I had Humana for a few months while I waited for Medicaid approval to get on a DSNP (Medicare and Medicaid) plan. Humana’s app was fantastic,
I didn’t have issues with the Humana app.
I have been with UHC since September 1, and there are times the app works and then it stops working. I think the first two weeks that I had UHC, the app worked fine. Then for about the last week, it hasn’t worked. When I go to sign in, it’s telling me “we’re sorry. Something went wrong. Please try later.” Yesterday, I was able to get the app to work which is fantastic because it’s a lot easier to look up doctors on the app. Then this morning, it’s not working again.
Other people are reporting this same login glitch/issue. Please fix this.
Also, just a suggestion, please add the option to add your UHC ID card to Apple or Google wallet. Humana had this. Yes, most providers scan cards when you visit, BUT when you fill out paperwork for a new patient appointment, having the card in Apple Wallet makes it easier and faster to get to..SkeeterEMTVersion: 2.66.0
Bait and switch designed not to workI ONLY downloaded this app after learning about the Earn It Off reward program that purports to provide you an Apple Watch which you can ultimately get for free/heavily discounted if you complete certain goals (daily steps, getting a physical, going paperless, etc.). UHC sent an email out advertising the program, which sounded great.
However, when I went to actually take advantage of the offer, it did not allow me to enter in an email address, stating that the email address on file would be used. Again, there is NO way to enter an email address while entering in your info to get the app - the app won't let you.
Then, after submitting all my info - whoops, error message! You need to enter an email address to take advantage of the offer! But we won't let you do it! Hah!
This app appears to be bait and switch to get you to sign up for the rewards program without allowing you to take advantage of the program. And the customer service experience on the phone is poor. "Oh, it'll take 10 business days to get back to you...and no there's no other way to order the watch."
