Texas Health Spring Advantage Plus

I am writing to complain about "Texas Health Spring Advantage Plus". This is

a coordinated care plan with a Medicare Advantage contract. It is available

only in certain counties in Texas. I have been a member for 2 years.

My complaint is: I was sent a packet of 5 large pamphelets approximatelty 2

months ago. Buried in all these brochures was the fact that my co-pay for

generic drugs was going up 50% after the lst of the year. I have yet to

receive an identification card (which I usually get about 10 days before the

effective date which lists {among other things} the cost for drugs.)

I feel that in burying this increase in the various brochures, is an attempt

on the part of "Texas Health Spring," to reduce the number of people who

will seek other plans as I am planning to do!

I am sure that loosing 1 member of their plan will not be hard on :"Texas

Health Spring", however I am in the process of investigating other plans,

and have the perogative of signing up for another "similar" plan until March

31,2008.

I have been with Texas Healthspring every since they came to Texas and do not have one complaint. They are always above board on notices and mailouts and I get great care. You can call their Service Pal assigned to you with any questions or complaints.

To Max Howe:

I do not know how to respond to your question! There are NO links that say "respond".

I went with Texan Plus for 2 months (because it had no deductable for medications) but I soon went back to Texas Health Spring---Texan Plus does not offer as many convenient services!!!

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!!
