Good in California, lost in North Carolina
Had this plan in California, was pretty happy with it. Moved to North Carolina and signed up with them again, but nothing but problems since then. I signed up with their plan there because the "dental coverage" seemed good; $2000 per year for dental. Finding doctors and dentists was terribly difficult. It took me six weeks to find a dentist that accepted this insurance and even then I had to do it on my own. Calling their so-called "concierge" number every day for weeks with no results. They were unable to find a dentist for me within a 30 minute drive. Finally they found one, over two hours away and they seemed proud of that. I'm not driving three hours to a dentist. But I was desperate so I called them to make an appointment and they told me they had an office ten minutes from my house. Too bad Alignment had no knowledge of that. The dental insurance through DentaQuest is absolutely horrid, so it's no wonder they've dropped dental insurance altogether for 2023. I couldn't find any periodontist that accepted their insurance so I paid $5000 out of pocket for dental in the six months of 2022 that I had Alignment. They also assigned me a PCP that didn't even have an office. He was a traveling doctor, working at different places every day of the week. That's not a good option for a PCP. The so-called "concierge" line is nothing but uninformed foreigners from who-knows-where that can't even find my correct insurance account. Truly astounding. I called about a mistaken bill I owed and they couldn't even see the claim. Even though my own Alignment portal showed that they had paid it. I called three times, got three different so-called "concierges" and each of them found only my California account from nine months earlier. No record of my North Carolina account that they'd worked with me on for nine months and paid ten claims for. Just unbelievable really.
