I filed proper information for a **** reimbursement as required by Tufts Health Plan, Claims Dept.The issue started back on 5/23/2025. I called and spoke with **** (Reimbursement Representative). I found out that I didn't fill out the proper amount for reimbursement. **** mentioned that he would file a new request for the additional $200. and would also file an appeal request. We did this over the telephone. **** mentioned that I should receive a response within either 7-10 days or 60 days. **** mentioned that he would call me back, which he did. I have called a number of times since my discussion with **** and have spoken with a number of representatives to resolve this issue. I have a letter from Tufts Health Plan that mentions that I was entitled to a reimbursement. In my last phone call, I spoke with a reimbursement representative, ***. Once again, she told me the same information as the previous representatives. She filed another request for the remainder of the sum with the *********** *** told me she would call me back to inform me of the progress with my issue. I have no faith that this issue will be resolved any time soon. I mentioned that I would be filing a complaint with the BBB. I am in the process of waiting for any resolution with my Tufts Health Plan complaint.

I have been insured by Tufts for many years and the premium will go up to $2,144.00 per employee and family for 2025. This April I had gone to CVS seven times trying to pick up a refill, but CVS and the Optum ** keeping telling me that my ** benefit already expired in March, but the premium is paid for until the month end of April and afterward, another yearly renewal will be in effect. I talked to my co-worker and the same thing happened to his policy. I have spent many hours contacted Tufts on multiple days to correct the issue, but every time when I got to CVS, nothing was corrected the error in the ** system prevented me from picking up my prescription. I'm very frustrated with the company that would not correct its error because we need our prescriptions. I felt that my co-workers and I were cheated, we paid our premium but are not covered for April. We are seeking fairness as consumers.

I am writing to dispute charges for services I received at ***************************** on October 25, 2024. I was told that my estimated cost would be $358.94, which I paid immediately on the date of service, but was sent a bill of $2026.45. After reviewing my Explanation of Benefits (EOB) with claim number ******AWWD and comparing it to ****** ****************** published chargemaster rates for Tufts Health Public Plan Connectorcare plan through THPP DIRECT QHP NONSUBSIDIZED [********] (specifically, Tufts Health Direct Silver 2000), I have identified significant discrepancies between the negotiated rates and the amounts I was charged.According to the Hospital Price Transparency Final Rule (45 CFR Part 180), hospitals are required to publish and honor their standard charges, including payer-specific negotiated rates. The charges on my EOB (claim number ******AWWD) substantially exceed the published negotiated rates for my insurance plan (Tufts Health Public Plan Connectorcare, administered through THPP DIRECT QHP NON SUBSIDIZED [********], Tufts Health Direct Silver 2000).Here are the specific discrepancies:1. CPT ***** - HC Ultrasound ****************** - Amount Billed: $1,620.00 - Published Negotiated Rate: $62.29 - Difference: $1,557.71 over the negotiated rate - Note: The charged amount even exceeds the published maximum standard charge of $1,241.50 2. CPT ***** - HC Dx Mammo Incl Cad Bi - Amount Billed: $992.00 - Published Negotiated Rate: $88.27 - Difference: $903.73 over the negotiated rate Based on published negotiated rates, the total charges should have been approximately $302.56 before any adjustments, not $2,764.00. Tufts Health Plan denied my appeal and refuses to adjust nor cover the bill to the correct published negotiated rates. I have complained to the MA Attorney General and CMS with unsatisfactory responses.

[You must provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.  If you do not enter a reason for your rejection, your complaint will be closed as Answered.]
I am not satisfied with this resolution. I want the BBB to keep this case open until my bill is adjusted to the negotiated rates as follows:
1. CPT ***** - HC Ultrasound ******************
   - Amount Billed: $1,620.00
   - Published Negotiated Rate: $62.29
   - Difference: $1,557.71 over the negotiated rate
   - Note: The charged amount even exceeds the published maximum standard charge of $1,241.50

2. CPT ***** - HC Dx Mammo Incl Cad Bi
   - Amount Billed: $992.00
   - Published Negotiated Rate: $88.27
   - Difference: $903.73 over the negotiated rate
As Tufts Health Plan is my insurance, they are obligated to negotiate rates with hospitals for CPT codes on my behalf. They should be working in my best interests, as I am their patient and paying customer. They should be holding hospitals accountable and adjusting the amount billed down to the published negotiated rate.

I want this case to be open until then so BBB is apprised of any developments and until the matter is resolved to my satisfaction.

I kept getting transferred to another department every single time with the same excuse. Ah its ********* sob its a different department.

I was approved to join in network as a group provider (Mieljade Behavioral Health) with Tufts in March 2024. I have been requesting a copy of my fee schedule and contract since March 2024 and still have yet to receive a copy. After multiple phone calls since March, I took the advise of Tufts representative and have reached out to the following emails to request a copy:******************************************************************************** **************************************************** *********************************************** Noone has responded except receiving an automated email receipt acknowledging that my request was received. I have also filed a complaint through BBB and see that Tufts responded to the complaint on 1/8/25 that they will reach out to the appropriate department and yet still no response. At this point I am filing a complaint against them to the state commissioner because at this point this is absurd! Tufts send me a copy of my fee schedule and contract. Many organizations are complaining about your lack of responsiveness and customer service and find the company to be unbearable.

I was approved by Tufts to contract as an in-network group provider for Mieljade Behavioral Health LLC starting in March 2024. I received the contract via an encrypted email portal, but shortly after, the email vanished, leaving me without access to my signed contract and fee schedule. Apparently emails sent by Tufts have a short time limit and will be removed. Despite my repeated attempts to contact Tufts by phone and email since March 2024, I have been met with delays and only been told to expect a response within 30 days. Now, in January 2025, I still have not received a copy of my signed contract or fee schedule. This lack of response is unacceptable and has prevented me from servicing Tufts clients. I require immediate action to resolve this issue.

I was incorrectly placed into Tufts Health Direct through the health connector.

I was requested by my doctor to get a blood test on 2/16/24 as I had been diagnosed with a blood clot in July 2023. This test was to determine if the clot was hereditary and to test for a PT COAG FACTOR according to the bill. Tufts denied the claim stating a pre-authorization was not received by my doctor. Quest Diagnostics sent me a bill for $570.46. I contacted Quest and Tufts in April 2024. I explained this was not my responsibility as I don't send pre-authorization, this would need to have come from my doctor. Tufts contacted Quest and informed them not to send me any more bills and that Quest would need to write this off. I contacted my doctor's office to send a pre-authorization which they did in May, June, August and October of this year. I've contact Tufts numerous times to get this resolved. Every time I do, I get a different answer. On 10/18/24 I spoke with ********* *. who said he would file an expedited appeal, but then told me the claim had been paid on 3/5/24 under payment# ******** and he would contact Quest and then call me back; he never did. I spoke with ***** *. on 10/25/24 who filed an appeal for me and said this was not resolved. on 10/28/24 I spoke with ******* *. who told the appeal was processed and Quest would be informed not to send me any more bills, Quest needs to write it off and I am not responsible for the bill. She said she would call me back; she never did. On 11/4/24 I spoke with ******* *. who gave me appeal# A2429990029 and said the appeal was in process. On 11/5/24 I was contacted by the ************* at Tufts who asked for more information which I gave them, but basically said I did not have a pre-authorization and I was out of network when I had the bloodwork done as I was in ******* at the time. I asked how could that be? This is Quest Diagnostics, not a doctor's office. Still, the appeal was under review. Tufts always gives me a different answer every time I call and I keep getting billed from Quest.

FAQ
This should have been resolved in April 2024. Tufts just keeps kicking the can down the road and delaying. This is the latest example of their delay tactics. The bottom line is I should not be responsible for this bill. I did everything I was told to do by Tufts and was told on more than one occasion either this was resolved or I would not have to pay or it was settled and Quest will no longer be sending me a bill. None of this has happened. Now, this is in an appeal? I was told the appeal would be expedited and resolved in 3 days. Then I was told the claim was paid. Then I was told the claim was not paid. Then I was told the appeal had been processed and Quest would be told not to send me any more bills. This also turned out to be wrong. After another call I was told the appeal had NOT been processed. Now I'm told this is in appeal and could take up to 30 days. This is unacceptable. Tufts, and others, incompetence is not something I should have to pay for. This bill should have been resolved by Tufts, Quest Diagnostics and my doctor's office. I don't think you need an appeal to figure that out from the history of this complaint that I detailed. Tufts doesn't want to pay; Quest Diagnostics keeps sending me the bill in the hopes I will pay it. Again, I have been fighting this for 9 months with no resolution. Tufts needs to settle this with Quest Diagnostics so they will stop harassing me with a bill that Tufts should have resolved back in Apil 2024.

Once again, this response from Tufts Health underscores the complete and total incompetence of their customer service group. Not surprisingly, they seem to be confused on the difference between an "appeal" which is what they stated originally when I filed this complaint with the BBB and a "grievance" which I filed twice with Tufts. This is due to the fact the first grievance I filed was ignored. As per the attached document detailing the complaint. I received a letter and then a phone call from ******* *******, Appeals and Grievance Analyst at *******************. He left me a message and asked me to call him back as he wanted to get more information. I received a letter from him with Case# G24290244708. I called him back three times and left him messages. He never called me back. So, I filed a subsequent grievance against him and Tufts.
I received a letter on 11/20/24 from Tufts Appeals stating my appeal was denied. Part of this was due to I was "out-of-network" when I had the bloodwork done in *******. This was at a Quest Diagnostics, not a doctor's office. But, that was part of their reasoning. This is like stating you can go to a ********* station, but only the ones in network. I send a letter (attached) detailing this entire experience on 11/10/24 to ******* *****, **************** Manager or an appropriate customer service manager. Again, unsurprisingly, I have heard no response. It was difficult to merely find ******* ***** or any customer service manager.
So, perhaps Tufts doesn't quite understand the difference between an "appeal" and a "grievance". But yes, the subsequent grievance is in process.
The only resolution I will accept from Tufts is the payment of my claim for $570.46 from Quest Diagnostics if for nothing more than their gross incompetence, negligence and mis-information over the past 9 months.

This claim is about my wife, ******'s weight management claim and not for my acupuncture claim.
Her weight management claim still lies unpaid for 4 to 5 months. Tufts has been mismanaging the claim and still hasn't paid it.
Please keep this complaint open to pressure tufts to pay a legitimate claim.
Thanks

BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
