...I was able to reach customer service and was told that they would send a message for someone to contact me. Again, I complained about the process and the poor customer service. I called again and couldnt reach anyone and spoke with the Member Relations/Resolution dept...

Customer service is HORRIBLE! Sent to Philippines and people can barely speak English so they repeat every statement you make (very annoying). It takes 20-30 minutes to get someone; if you aren't disconnected when they pick up, which happens often and then you start all over. Once you get through...

...Most places end up being out-of-network, but you cannot tell because their website is not easy to navigate and their help desk is very useless. Good luck getting anything you need from them..

...--the doctor Covered California Blue Shield PPO assigned to me, doesn't take my plan! I've called 32 family practice doctors that are listed on my Blue Shield website as in-network for my plan, and NOT ONE actually takes my plan. So I've been paying $1600 per month for my family, and when we actually need to see a ...

I complained to Member Services twice about this, but nothing ever happens. If you ask me about Kaiser I will tell you, read all that I wrote here about Kaiser then decide if you want to go there. They seem to not want to help me, but yet they keep taking my money and my health insurance from...

...I elected to have them through the Covered California and I'm paying close to $600 a month, and for what? I still have to pay $25-$55 copays and several services are not even fully covered. This is a joke! Fair warning to you all, STAY AWAY FROM BLUE SHIELD OF CALIFORNIA..

How would you compare Kaiser Permanente vs Blue Shield Of California?
Terrible application process. I applied on 12/5/2017.
Clean application, switching over from Anthem only because they don't cover individuals in So. California anymore. Paid the premium before they would even accept the application. So many loopholes...
I submitted the requirements (proof of my residence? ha ha) three times. Today is 1/24/2018. They took out the first premium from my bank on 1/17/2018Still no policy number.
Had to pay for my doctor's appt. out of my pocket.
Now my daughter needs to go to the doctor, and still no coverage. UNACCEPTABLE.
they both SUCK.....
