California Obamacare provider inundated with complaints

Posted at 6:31 pm on January 7, 2014 by Brett T.

The Anthem Blue Cross public relations account is being inundated with complaints this week as people struggle to learn if their payments have been credited and their benefits started. While most agreed that the rollout of the federal HealthCare.gov website was a disaster, Covered California’s high enrollment was touted by some on the Left as evidence that Obamacare is working just fine.

Covered California this weekend extended its payment deadline to Jan. 15, but many people say they’ve already paid and have no proof that they’re covered.

@AnthemPR_CA I have client enrolled w/ Anthem. He paid 1st payment but no card yet. He needs RX. Should he simply buy & file claim later?

@AnthemPR_CA Been on hold for an hour to ask questions about my policy. With all the money you make, please hire some more phone operators.

@AnthemPR_CA Misdirected calls: 2. Hang ups: 4. Total wait time to date: 8 hours. What a disappointment.

The Obamacare @AnthemPR_CA said I couldn't sign up for just debited $300 from my bank. Anthem claims I'm not a member. Heh?

I have been on hold with @AnthemPR_CA for 1 hour and 20 mins to CANCEL a plan. Kill me now. #thisnewhealthcareblows

We’re anxious to see if the #thisnewhealthcareblows hashtag takes off.

For those in @CoveredCA that are threatening to report @AnthemPR_CA for fraud, it's gummint now might as well report the #IRS for theft.
