Ratings and reviews

Provider finder tool is rubbish -- crashes frequently, returning "no providers found in your area" when repeating a search that has previously given a list of providers. Often providers are no longer practicing at that location & haven't been for a very long time. Others simply aren't accepting BCBSIL & the list hasn't been updated to reflect only current providers. Maybe ⅓ of providers are actually in network and at the location listed. Makes it very difficult to actually USE my benefits.

This app is buggy. After logging in, if you click on a button to change what you're looking at it forgets who you are. Detailed information is not available in certain sections. Basically only usable for checking if anything has been processed but not what has been processed. Don't bother downloading.

I started having issues with the app and website in November. I called customer service and they ran me through the gamut. Reset my account, cleared every cache on every browser, tried to get in from several different devices (app and website). The initial page would load but the claims area and search for provider area would give a "cannot load, try again later" message. Finally they set me up with a new account and password. It worked for 5 minutes and now same error. It is February.
