      I think this company might be a scam. I contacted an agent listed and she responded quickly. She was pushy and aggressive. When I tried to move forward and sign up she did not respond to multiple outreaches for several days. I contacted another agent and he began to become aggressive and would not allow me to preform secure payment. Telling me I was paranoid and that is why the agent would not work with me before. The prior agent never reached this step in the process.

      On April 3,2022 at 11:12 am I texted *******************************, *************) my ****** Markets agent from ******** **. I told her I had secured health insurance through my workplace and no longer needed my short term coverage. She instructed me to call the number on the back of my Priority ****** card which I did. I asked her then who I should contact to cancel the riders we had put in place. She texted back the same day at 1:01 pm these exact words."The riders are embedded into a given policy. When that policy is canceled, it cancels the entire policy along with its contents. On this advice I felt that my riders were canceled. This was not the case. My account had been debited monthly via ACH(therefore no paper bill was sent) until I realized on March 6th 2023 that the riders had not been canceled. I had paid 12 payments of $199.45. I contacted ******* on March 7th at 5:26pm. She agreed that I had done as I was instructed but that I now had to deal with ********* directly. She was a third party Independent agent for ****** Markets and held no responsibility. I had already opened a case with ********** who agreed to refund 2 payments as a courtesy. I am asking for the other 10 payments be refunded back to me. I believe that ******************************* did not counsel me correctly. I imagine she also received commission on these payments. I believe that I am making what is called an errors and omissions claim.I have all of our correspondence via text with *******. I appreciate your help and look forward to your response.

      My boy friend applied to the health market insurance agency for health care over the phone but the agent put as if we (me and him) are married. WE are NOT married. I got a ****-A form under my name from the health market insurance agency stating i need to file taxes but it will effect my social security income since they put us as married. I tryed calling several times to ask them to take me off and no one will, last person i spoke to was rude and yelled out at me over the phone and refused to give me his badge number while talking over me. His name was *************** he stated over the end of the call. I find this very unprofessional the agency lying in the application and putting us a married then not taking me off when i wasnt even insured through the company and to make matters worse my boy friend ************************* would have received a better health insurance credit if they put him as single.

      I reached out to insurance agent ********************* at HealthMarkets for assistance in purchasing medical insurance. I followed through with the application enrollment, after speaking with my husband again, we had additional questions and reach out via phone and text to *****. Via text when asked to cancel the enrollment application, ***** became very pushy requesting us to reconsider. I politely thanked him for his time and requested that he cancel the application enrollment with the text response of: "You can call the company and do it. I work in sales, not cancelations. Best of luck."I was not given the application PIN to go back into my enrollment application and will be calling UHC tomorrow to cancel application as well as trying to reach out to the corporate office of HealthMarkets regarding pushy and rude employee. I would never recommend this company/sales agent to anyone.
