My claim was processed SO FAST.

My claim was processed SO FAST. I was a bit unclear as to how the math worked but I called in and was told that the co-pay I owed was on the entire bill as submitted, not on the net amount after taking off the deductible. That made sense and it's all very clear now.

Best Prices Coverage and easy to navigate claim process

Offering the best coverage for the price-I compared all companies. When I needed to file claims the online process was very easy to use and customer service responded quickly via email to let me know the status of my claims. Claims paid quickly and you can have a check cut or direct deposit. The only thing I wish they had was the option to have your claim payment put towards your premium. That would then make it even better!!
