About KelseyCare Advantage
KelseyCare Advantage is a healthcare provider that offers a range of medical services with generally high-quality care. Many patients praise their physicians, describing them as excellent, knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. The staff in member services are also appreciated, with one representative earning high praise for taking the time to explain insurance details clearly and resolving issues promptly. However, there are some concerns. The dental plan's coverage is viewed as deceptive, as it only covers crown replacements in connection with bridge work, not all crowns, despite what the plan states. Patients feel the need for more transparency regarding coverage details. Additionally, the enrollment process can be frustrating; some members experienced delays and difficulties in confirming their enrollment, with communication issues and unhelpful phone calls. Fortunately, some staff members, like one representative, have been able to resolve these problems quickly. Access to specialists is limited, with long wait times for appointments such as ENT and endocrinology, often exceeding three months. This shortage of specialists appears to be driven by profit motives, as Kelsey emphasizes home health visits more frequently—calls that many patients find unnecessary and intrusive. For example, an elderly patient had to travel over two hours for a simple prolia injection, which was previously administered at their doctor's office. Despite these issues, the overall experience remains positive for many, especially regarding the quality of physicians and the thoroughness of care. Patients with longstanding relationships find KelseyCare Advantage to meet their needs, though some note recent changes to pharmacy tiers and appointment availability as areas of concern.
While the medical services provided are outstanding and the doctors are excellent, I find fault in their dental plan. Everywhere it states the plan covers crown replacement, but I discovered that the crown replacement is ONLY in connection with bridge work. All other crowns ARE NOT covered. Deceptive at best. Even when you read the dental codes it doesn't really state just for bridges.
They need to be more transparent.
I just talked to Sonya in members service.
She helped both my husband and myself with a problem concerning a referral.
She took great care to explain everything she was doing. It took about an hour to get all the explanations and new information about our insurance. She gets a gold star ⭐️ from us today. Thank you Sonya
I’ve been trying to sign up for Kelsey Care Advantage through Shell Benefits for over a month now. Files have been sent numerous times and Kelsey Care Advantage still doesn’t show they’ve received them? I’ve spent hours on the phone and my husband as well with nothing resolved and no coverage!! My husband ENROLLED me to Kelsey Care Advantage Aug. 30, 2024. It's over a month and still I don't know where my enrollment is in the email world. I call Shell, they say to call Kelsey Care. AWFUL!
