New Legislation Would Pad Health Insurance Coffers While Screwing Over Consumers
By Chris Morran on February 3, 2012 4:15 PM  
As part of the Affordable Care Act, health insurers must spend at least 80% of the money they earn from premiums on actually providing health care, with the remaining cash used to cover all administrative, advertising and payroll costs. Those insurers with plans that don't follow this ratio are soon supposed to start giving the extra money back in refunds and discounts. But new legislation introduced in the Senate this week could jeopardize this, while giving insurance companies even more money to stick in their dog pillows. More »

Humana Won't Let You Cancel Your Insurance Because Your Signature Doesn't Match Your Signature
By Ben Popken on March 15, 2010 9:22 AM

Humana Delays 93 Year Old's Medicine For 3 Weeks
By consumerist.com on February 11, 2008 5:00 PM

Had a problem with my Mom's Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plan with Humana. Their mail order pharmacy (RightSource) advertises a two-week turnaround from date of sending-in an order to receipt of medications. However after three weeks, RightSource had not acknowledged receipt of the order. A RightSource phone rep said the logging-in of orders was being delayed by two to three weeks due to heavy volume. This delay — in the case of meds for a 93 year-old lady — was unacceptable.
