If you believe that your health insurance company or agent has acted illegally or improperly, here is a process to file a complaint:
-
Maintain detailed records of all communications, including conversations and written correspondence. Save any payments, policy agreements, and supporting documents.
-
Contact the customer service department of your health insurance company to explain your complaint and allow them a reasonable time to address it.
-
If unresolved, consider your legal options. For larger disputes, consult an attorney. For smaller issues, you may consider filing a small claims suit.
-
Reach out to your state insurance commissioner using the complaint form on their website to escalate the issue. They will investigate further and may involve your insurer to find a resolution.
-
File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, which can help pressurize insurers to address issues promptly.
