DiBiasio - Are you talking about medicare supplements? If so, the whole medicare part D was setup that way. AARP doesn't offer individual/family health insurance to people under 65, only medicare supplements. @ A. DiBiasio

An Rx that I had okayed all of last year, right up to the Dec renweal period, was OK with Human. As soon as i renewed, Human denied the Rx. My doctor has written and faxed trying to overturn Human's denial, but after three months, Human still denies the appeal. Please be careful of this company--the appeals process is designed to wear people down until they just give up. My wife has AARP and so far no problems.

What is their stated policy against telling you? You are a policy holder and agents too boot !!!! I thought one's own insurance carrier would "help" their own policy holder. I, too, am an agent trying to help people find affordable coverage, independent, not captive, I have multiple carriers and plans available and I show my clients each and every plan, price included, then they can see the carrier that is competitive and the one that is not. Back to your issue, this is just another reason why the health care industry is such a polictical hot bed right now. Best of luck with your current issue.
