On June 10, 2025, I underwent a medically necessary deep cleaning procedure at my dental provider. The treatment included local anesthesia and irrigation, both of which are standard parts of periodontal therapy and were clearly documented in the provider’s claim submission. Despite this, Humana denied coverage for the anesthesia and irrigation portions, classifying them as non-covered services.
This denial is unreasonable. Anesthesia is not optional in a deep cleaning—it’s necessary to complete the procedure properly and humanely. Irrigation is also standard practice in periodontal therapy and contributes to the success of the treatment.
I contacted Humana for an explanation, but I received a generic response with no specific reasoning or reference to any policy exclusions that would justify the denial. Humana’s lack of transparency and refusal to cover essential components of care is unacceptable.
Resolution Requested:
• Immediate review and reversal of the denial for anesthesia and irrigation related to the June 10, 2025 procedure.
• Clarification in writing of the specific coverage exclusions being cited.
• A written assurance that medically necessary components of covered dental services will not be arbitrarily denied in the future.
Humana’s actions caused unnecessary out-of-pocket costs and are not aligned with fair or ethical coverage practices. I am requesting BBB intervention to prompt a proper review and resolution of this matter.Business Response

I was sent by Humana to a dentist to have my teeth fixed. While there the broke my partial and told me they couldn't fix it. said i would need a new one. I now can not eat as it causes blisters in my mouth and pain while chewing. I contacted Humana about this issue and was told i had to fill out a grievance form. I did this now i'm being told it may take 90 days to resolve this issue. I am unable to eat and have blisters in my mouth preventing me from eating. I went to a dentist yesterday to see if anything could be done and was told the other dentist should of never tried to adjust my partial as it was metal. I was informed due to there neglect i need a set of all new partials. I can not wait 90 days for Humana to figure out what they want to do. They sent me to this dentist. I need this expedited so i can eat properly and not be in pain with blisters in my mouth.Business Response

Hello...
I made two separate payments for my April, May, and June Humana premiums. On May 13, 2024, I paid $215.80 to cover April and May, and on June 5, 2024, I paid $107.90 to equal a total of $323.70. Shortly after, a foundation that pays my premiums - ********** ********** - sent a check for $431.60 to cover those three months (and July) as well. This resulted in Humana being paid twice for these three months. On June 12, 2025, I spoke with ***** ** (I believe* *****) from Humana; he reviewed my payments, spoke with a ********** ********** representative to further confirm my payments, and confirmed that I was owed $323.70. After speaking with Humana for several hours over the course of numerous months (including the time that I spent trying to resolve this issue before speaking to Jasin), on July 14, 2025, I was told by ******* *** a Humana account supervisor, that a "level 2" supervisor refused to take over the call from her; that I could not be reimbursed my money; and that I needed to file a grievance with Humana. I would like to receive my money back.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:The grievance process pertains to if I am displeased with the service that I have received. While I am quite displeased - no one wants to be ignored or dismissed - I want to be reimbursed my money. Humana was paid twice for three months and now owes me for the duplicate payment. After spending hours reviewing payments, they initially agreed that they indeed owe me a refund and agreed to pay me my refund, but then mistakenly sent the refund to the grant foundation. Now, they are telling me to express my dissatisfaction through a grievance process rather than working towards refunding my money. I find this to be unacceptable, and while I filed the grievance process, as they asked me to do so, I have no interest in an apology for being ignored or treated poorly. I want my money back. As for the appeal, those questions pertained to some claim not being covered, so I did not complete the appeal form, as an uncovered claim was not my issue. What is their process for refunding my money? That is the process that I would like to engage.

I regularly get my medications refilled by Centerwell Pharmacy for mail in prescriptions since one of my prescriptions is not filled by a local pharmacy anymore. I get my pain prescription ******** refilled from you guys and it is a controlled substance. My doctors office is always good about sending in the pre-authorization two weeks prior to due date on a Monday to ensure that my prescription can arrive before I run out of my crucial medication. This company has a guarantee for controlled substances for 2 day shipping. Not the case for me, false advertising.
My recent order ********** was placed on 6/17/25 and we are currently in July it is 7/12/25. I have called to speak with a centerwell representative 7/09 and they informed me that my order would be shipped and delivered by Thursday 7/10 to my house and this did not happen and my delivery date got pushed in the centerwell app. Next, 7/10 comes around and yet again call Centerwell about my ******** order and again the centerwell representative stated it would be sent out 7/10. Next, 7/11 comes around and I open the centerwell pharmacy app and my delivery date was pushed and it still has not been shipped and says "processing". I literally only have 2 days left on my prescription to last me and the centerwell representatives all tell me to go to the hospital when I run out of my medicine. I called again to Centerwell and on 7/11 is speak a centerwell advocate by the name Lynn and she listen to me complain about the many delays in my order, and come to find out that the previous representatives have been lying to me about my due date and may have been changing the delivery date on my account. Lynn, did a three way phone call with me and the dispensary and come to find out my prescription ha been sitting in the dispensary waiting to be picked up by a employee for shipping, when multiple days have passed and nobody has done anything to ship this. Lynn said the date 7/14. I get to spend 2 days in the hospital, no medBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: It does not solve anything at all. All it's basically saying is to take my complaint/grievance somewhere else They give me the complaint number and address to file a complaint with them. It's a part of Humana that handles complaints. This response is horrible and they make sure that nothing gets resolved. I will call that number AND write a formal complaint anyways, since Humana has made it very clear that they don't care about their guests nor do they care to hear any complaints. So whoever this Rhonda person is from Humana, just gave me a non caring response and told me she doesn't care and is just there to get paid. At this point I'm willing to file a class action lawsuit against this company and rightfully so. Thank you BBB for your time and help.

I have contacted this company several times about complaints which go ignored. I need a motorized wheelchair which my doctor has sent everything in for and they claim they have not received anything. Apparently they lost it. I am a prisoner in my own home without this DME and they just keep delaying it with excuses. They are a sorry excuse for a health insurance companyBusiness Response

My Medicare D coverage is through Humana. Each month I receive a summary of the medications that have been filled and charged to my account. The errors began on Feb. 28, 2025 and the statement I received today continues to have the same errors. Each month I receive charges filled by the ****** *** ** ******** I have not taken these meds, nor have I ever lived in Florida. One of the medications filled is ********** which is a controlled substance, which needs a driver's license to fill. This month three of the twelve meds charged to me were mine, the others were not. I have called Humana at least twelve times, I have been given reference numbers and INC numbers. Each person is going to "call me back" resolving the issue, but the call never comes. One supervisor informed me that the person ****** *** has been filling meds for is deceased. Yet the charges continue. These appear to be fraudulent charges. I would appreciate your assistance in solving this problem- Human doesn't appear interested in helping me. Thank you very much.Business Response

About 3 weeks ago I called them and asked them not to autofill my prescriptions in the future. They told me they would not. I have gotten two emails where they were going to autofill the prescription since then. I have had other issues with them and I need them to get a supervisor to call. I was told twice that a supervisor would call and it did not occur. I asked for a supervisor and got through to someone named **** who said he was a supervisor. It doesn't make logical sense but **** actually told me that he could stop all future autofills but that I would lose my $75 quarterly spending account money because he would have to deactivate the account. That is absurd and he ended up hanging up on me. Another center well customer service employee actually ridiculously told me after I asked her what the process was to transfer my prescriptions back to *** that the doctors would have to write new prescriptions to ***. I have around 10 or 11 prescriptions at centerwell. The customer service people at centerwell just say something that doesn't make sense if they don't know the answer to a question. I definitely see why Centerwell Pharmacy has a two out of five star rating on ****** reviews and a lot of one star ratings. For a company their size it's surprising that they have such bad reviews on ******. What I would like is to be called by someone that cares about good quality customer service someone higher up in the company please.Business Response

Humana refused to pay the charges even it was approved by Humana, but a typical health insurance company that is trying to take advantage of the senior citizens rejected basic coverage.
Humana just rejected my appeal based on the wrong reason, that is i have filed an appeal after 60 day's . Humana was absolutely wrong because the appeal was filed when i learned of the changes, So again they are rejecting the appeal base on a baseless reason.
In January of this year, I had an appointment with Sage Dental. During the first day of appointment, I presented my Humana Medicare card and before any work, I specifically asked the dentist office not to do any work if it’s not cover by my plan. (Otherwise just do whatever approved by Humana).
Sage dental preformed a basic x-ray (no panoramic) then they preformed two teeth extraction and somehow the dentist preformed stitches on both removed teeth and absolutely NO Bone replacement Gift/rdg done on both teeth .But yet they claimed they did.(please see attachment of $462.40 three times charges) .
Again I am one hundred percent certain the so called bone replacement grift/rdg was not preformed .
I am a retired 68-year-old on a fix income of $ 942.00 a month.
This charges is for work did not happen
Again please I am disputing these charges because first it did not occurred and second its actually a cover up because I threaten them to file a complaint to BBB because they refused to correct the bleeding occurred from a fail stitchesBusiness Response
