My review is specifically for Ashley in the Pharmacy customer care department of SelectHealth. After having to fill a few prescriptions for pain medication from two new prescribers at two different pharmacies during the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated me going to a different dentist and endodontist than I normally see to treat a complex and excruciatingly painful dual root canal, my account was flagged for possible medication misuse and I was sent a mandatory contract to sign with my primary care physician. The letter I received from Select Health stated that failure to complete this contract would result in termination of my health care insurance.
I certainly would have preferred to go to my usual in-person pharmacy at Costco rather than using the drive-through pharmacy at Walgreens (for which there was a long wait). I also would ve preferred to have seen my regular dentist and gone to an endodontist here in Salt Lake rather than having to go to Bountiful to see the only available endodontist in the entire valley Who was willing to come in to do you oral surgery on my two root canal s during this pandemic, but unprecedented times call for innovative measures. While I I feel that receiving the threatening letter from SelectHealth via UPS on a Saturday and the threatening message it contained was both punitive and draconian in nature, and failed to take into account my personal circumstances at a highly unusual time for all of us, I am still leaving five stars because of the resolution of this matter through Ashley. I initially called and talked to a representative in the pharmacy department at SelectHealth who was rude, condescending, and dismissive. I tried to resolve the issue with him without becoming escalated or reciprocating his unfair treatment, but at a certain point, I did request to speak to a supervisor at which point he promptly disconnected the call. Frustrated and confused, I called back and was connected with Ashley. She listened patiently, she made sure she understood my concerns, she empathized with my unique situation, and she promised to take this matter to her direct supervisors and the whole pharmaceutical customer care team to seek a prompt resolution. She did just that, and after advocating on my behalf, she called me back the following day to tell me that she had met with the team and they had decided to rescind the behest for me to sign the contract. I thanked her and she went on to apologize to me for my experience, thank me for bringing it to their attention, and sincerely wishing me well. She is an exemplary employee and person. Select Health is fortunate to have her. They could use an entire customer care staff just like her.
