This is not a review about Essence but instead the new dental coverage offered this year Their customer service is rude, lacks professionalism, not helpful and deserves a 0 in everything
Essence Healthcare is one of the worst insurance companies they dont cover most prescription and cost my father over 40000 dollars when he was sick last year
We are so lucky to have this ins. Available to us. Our PCP and his staff are wonderful in referring us to excellent specialists, all treating us like people not cattle.
Do NOT get this policy for you or your loved one. It may be cheaper but it won’t be in the end. Made a difficult hospitalization and medical crisis for my mother even worse. We are switching as soon as open enrollment is available.
BUYER BEWARE:
This is the WORST health insurance company you could possibly choose. They sent my 85 year old grandma home from the hospital and denied her necessary rehab …
I have nothing but praise for this co. My husband had a heart attack and was hospitalized. They never denied him of any healthcare he needed. More than went out of the way to provide great care. I’m so lucky to have this insurance.
Good except for last year’s change of dental benefits. My dentist of 25 years quit accepting Essence’s dental partner Dentaquest.
Sad to Essence go down hill.
Best insurance ever. Low copays my prescriptions (generic) are free AND I can go to basically any gym I want for free.
Love this Doctor ran insurance company.
Fat cats can kiss my…you know.
i just had a stroke, couldn’t have been treated better during what are scary times. i am still finishing rehab, maybe 10 more days. when i told dr El tahir that it was difficult to thank someone for saving my life he said eric god saved …
Very poor customer service. I called several times and usually get a CS that seems like they are there just to answer the phone. Essence will not try to help you out in your matter, which I think Ins companies have a responsibility to. Co pays and deductibles are getting higher and higher.
If you’re considering a policy through Essence for you or a loved one, DO NOT DO IT. This company is accepted by very few medical providers, and the list is rapidly shrinking because they make it so incredibly difficult for a provider or …
Because Essence hasn’t been paying on the services they commit to cover, many nursing/rehab centers, including the one I had always gone to, will no longer accept patients. And the one that did accept me sent me home while I was unable to …
My husband, in a wheelchair with a catheter attached, tried to get Essence transportation to give him a ride from the hospital which had discharged him, to a skilled nursing facility. We were told we would have to wait up to THREE HOURS …
My husband is undergoing total hip replacement surgery (1st one in 3 weeks, 2nd one 12 weeks later). His surgeon wrote a script for three pieces of durable medical equipment (a walker, a cane and raised toilet seat) to assist him with …

Is anyone else having difficulties with finding a dental provider that goes through Denta Quest via Essence Advantage HMO? I have called 2 dental offices that Denta Quest gave me and they both said they do not take that insurance anymore …
My Mother had hip replacement and a glut tendon repair. Essence denied her going to a acute rehab hospital. She cannot get out of bed or use the restroom with out help. She is 86 her Dr appealed and Essence still said no. They said she …
Many medications not covered. I reach donut hole in July. Must have referrals for all specialists (required yearly). For example I go to a dermatologist yearly for skin CA check and must get a new referral each time. Dental only pays …
I called about a letter received. I spoke with “Roderick” in customer service. He was extremely friendly and helpful. He went above and beyond to assist me. This whole Medicare thing is new to me, and somewhat confusing. Having a …
Customer Service is Under Whelming….. I had a preventative Medical Procedure done. This procedure is in The Evidence of Coverage in the Essence Documentation. It clearly states the procedure is no charge. I was incorrectly billed by the …
I am dismayed by so many negative reviews and can simply surmise they are slanted heavily toward unhappy experiences which proves the point that happy campers don’t take the time to record their positive experiences nearly as frequently. …
I absolutely love Essence Health care they are best health insurance I’ve ever had! I had lots of eye surgery in 2021 and they helped me get through it! Will be with them for a long time to come!
New York Medicaid is better.
What about new dental
Good people with an eye on your health care needs.
I very happy with my Essence/Medicare coverage
Over the counter outside company that takes orders is an absolute joke.

We have been members for over ten years. The service and doctors great. More ups than downs. Most of the other in our area are copying their model.
Both my husband & myself are very pleased with Essence Health Care.
We’ve nothing but praise for their staff & doctors.

Essence Health Care people in supervisor rolls are not so nice I will be sure not to sign up for more abuse of trying to get them hospital bills paid.
