The Docs and nurses are great. Pharmacy is outstanding...I get my meds via mail usually within 5 days of requesting them. Audiology and eye care is outstanding.

I've haven't had any issues with outside referrals. Trying to understand the billing can be a challenge (not billing to me, but a recap of authorized payments.

I did have one issue on claims which still isn't resolved. It's a convoluted process.
