I have found PacifiCare to be less than helpful. On many occasions they deny receiving billing from providers. The providers refile only to be told it is too late. I have documentation proving this on at least 3 different providers. I am still waiting payments from November of 08. In November and December of 08, when I used my card, I was often told there was no coverage. i paid for it myself. They have yet to remimburse me although the hospital has filed multiple times. Currently I am on Anthem, which has paid every bill in a timely manner. Hopefully I will never be on Pacificare again. Mary in Tulsa, OK
