******** automatically signed me up for a prescription drug program in September through clear springs health. I immediately contacted ******** and told him I did not wish for this and I wanted it to stop. ******** assured me that the problem was taken care of and that I did not have a program through clear springs health. Clear springs health keeps sending me bills for $20.50. I have called them four times and ask them to stop billing me because I did not ask for their program I did not enroll in their program and I even contacted ******** to keep me from being enrolled in their program and they want a check in payment for the $20.50 each month I do not have a checking account I told him that is impossible. I told him I did not want their service I did not ask for their service and I refused their service they keep pounding me and harassing me and every time I call them and talk to them I get passed on to another agent and I get told the same thing over and over. Thank you thank youCustomer Answer

Received unsolicited letter from Clear Spring Health to subscribe. I did not subscribe. Next received letter saying thank you for joining. I did not respond. Then received letter from them saying that ******** had chosen this company for me and I would be receiving a letter from ******** confirming this. I did not receive a letter nor did ******** choose their program for me. Yesterday I received another packet from Clear Spring Health thanking me for being a member and telling me this is my annual member packet. I have never requested any information from this company and have no intention of doing so. Ive read similar complaints from other people of harassment by this company. I am filing this complaint in hopes of preventing Clear Spring Health from taking advantage of other ******** recipients.Initial Complaint

A bill is being presented, repeatedly, for a membership that never existed. I have contacted Clear Springs six times on the phone. I am told that I was automatically enrolled into their drug plan by the ********* I was not enrolled into ******** until July 2022. I can prove this. I have spoken to Social Security, and they told me that they do not automatically enroll anyone into any health care plans. I have called ******** and they told me that my coverage did not start until July 2022. I had coverage through private insurance from my workplace at the time that the bill represents. It makes no sense that they think I needed, wanted or was assigned to their company. I want Clear Springs to apologize and send me a letter that states that I never had any business with their drug coverage. I have asked repeatedly for any authorization from ******** with my name on it. They do not have any documentation to support their claim that I was automatically enrolled and owe them $165. I am tired of their harassment.Business Response

Date Filed: 10/18/2022 1:52:03 PM
Plan records show that the beneficiary filed two grievances regarding their enrollment into the plan and the invoices being mailed. Both grievances were addressed, and a written resolution was mailed to the beneficiary. The beneficiarys enrollment as stated in the complaint was an auto-enrollment completed by the Centers of ******** and ******** Services (CMS) for an effective date of 02/01/2021. As per ********s system the beneficiary was eligible for ******** Part A and D as of 2020. ******** Part B is not required to be enrolled into a Prescription Drug Plan. On 10/08/2021, the plan mailed a Loss of Low-Income Subsidy letter to the beneficiary informing them that although they received help automatically in 2021, they will no longer automatically qualify to receive it beginning January 1, 2022. As a result, the beneficiary started receiving invoices of the monthly premium. As of 04/06/2023, the beneficiary is no longer enrolled in Clear Spring Health; beneficiary was disenrolled 06/30/2022. Lastly, the last invoice mailed to the beneficiary was on 11/23/2022.

I am rejecting this response because:My reason for rejecting the company response. Company says because of my low income insurance they dont have to provide online account access. Then why did the company prompt me to create a login with password? Where I have seen my prescription information. Ive called customer service over 12 times to get password reset. It works once then never again causing me to need to call the company to do my business and again reset password. Finally about 2 weeks ago I got a customer service rep to upgrade my issue to the right department tech. This is a company company tech problem! not a problem with me not qualifying for the service.Sincerely,

It's unclear what access the member is referring to from the initial complaint. Now that the member has mentioned viewing her prescription, this would be visible through our pharmacy benefit manager, Express Scripts, and not directly through our website. Please contact pharmacy services to **************.
