Went to another provider a year ago with the understanding of losing a benefit. Had enough of their miserable customer service who rarely answer the phone, tell you what you want to hear, lie, rudeness, etc. It was with it. On hold now for 15 minutes to ask about a company benefit. About to hang up. Not with it.

I have been forced to deal with this insurance scam company for several years. They administer a benefit from my previous employer, Huntington Ingalls Industries, that reimburses my Medicare premiums up to a certain amount each year. I have to purchase Medigap coverage thru Via to receive the benefit. I loose approximately half of the benefit because Via will only sell policies from companies that pay them a high sales commission. So I pay roughly 30% more for a policy than I would if I went straight to the Medicare website. So for part of the year I get reimbursed for the premium I pay, and the rest of the year I pay a higher premium that I would have if I did not have a reimbursement benefit. So about half of my "benefit" ends up in pockets other than mine. Unfortunately, in the insurance industry, most kickbacks are legal. Makes me wonder if someone in HII is getting an Illegal kickback.

Called via benefits to help change my Prescription Drug Plan for 2026. Called and was told they would call back to assist me in 160 minutes. After 3 1/2 hours I got a call the people started talking and then was disconnected. Was expecting them to call back but they never did. I am a retired Chevron employee I expect to contact Chevron about this crappy service

I had an FSA (Flexible Spending Account) with Via Benefits for 5 years & I didn't even know it because they never sent me ANYTHING via mail or email regarding it. The FSA was set up through my retirement company. Their customer service has been awful.

Terrible. Just plain terrible. So tired of hearing about the issues with their systems and the on-Hold times (and music) are insane. Even when they "keep-your- place-in-que" to call you back (two hours later) the line disconnects immediately. Their employees would rather put you on hold while they take a bathroom break, maybe walk the dog, transfer you into the unknown, or just plain disconnect your call because they aren't trained, or somebody else, some other department will have to address the issue. Look around you; the tallest building in every major city is an insurance company. There is plenty of money to be made for them but no "Help" to be had for the consumer.

I would give them less than one star. The phone representatives are rude and more interested in arguing with you then helping you. In addition they had no clue what I was talking about. All I wanted to know is what to bring to an appointment as a future ICHRA customer. Rude, unprofessional, and not even a little knowledgeable. No way to contact them other than by phone. Call at your own risk.

Turned 65 in July. Had about 20 options for Medical Advantage insurance with varying degrees of Co-pays/Maximum Out of Pocket/Pharmacy Coverage/PCP in-network etc. Made my selection online and everything appeared to go well. Since then, PCP and 90% of their doctors left the practice.

Go to look for new insurance, and VIA Benefits only had one (1) option and they did NOT have my new PCP. WTF! Isn't the whole point is to show insurance options with my new PCP? One listing is NOT an option! I hope the Union reevaluates its association with Via Benefits.

Worse company ever, rude customer service. They never accept receipts u submit and they ask you to pay for charges back, card is suspended and they are saying wait 7 days. Asked to be transferred and she said no like she owns the company. They take your money and never do what they supposed to do.

I have used via benefits for almost 15 years to coordinate benefits for my disabled sister who is retired from the University of California. I normally feel that I can set up her Medicare supplement plans easily, but as the landscape changes in 2024 and 25, I want to make sure I'm getting the best for her. Via benefits advisors take care of all the comparison, actually will create and file the applications for you, and will follow up to make sure your applications have been received and approved. They assist with any problems along the way and are available through most of the sign up period every hour that I'm awake. I know the phone representative probably aren't paid that much, but they are invaluable. I definitely give via benefits the highest rating.

I signed up for dependent care not knowing it was only for child care not doctors pharmacy etc. this was not mentioned when I signed up for the account and I called and spoke to someone and they made it seem like it would be approved for doctors. Highly dissatisfied and felt like my own company wasn’t looking out for me. My kids are 11 and 12 years old too old for daycare

This company deserves a zero star rating if that were possible. We will NEVER use this service again. They reject all of your doctors invoices and tell you that you are required to pay back the money you already paid?? Crazy scam card. Never again!

My card has been suspended due to the fact that I received wrong information from 5 customer service agents then when I finally got some one in the level two office I was told that. it would be at least 10 days to have my card reinstated I had to sent additional prescriptions . This never told by any one as a matter of fact I was advised to ignore CS emails and not to worry. I have been inconvenienced and I explain that due to their misinformation that's not right they basically saids Tought! Not to mention I was on the Q for over an hour.This company is a joke

I WOULD GIVE IT A ZERO IF I COULD. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR 5 MONTHS NOW TO CLOSE MY DECEASED SISTERS ACCOUNT. I HAVE CALLED 5 TIMES AND KEEP GETTING THE SAME ANSWER "WE MAILED THE CHECK" NOW I AM TOLD A CLAIM WAS NEVER SENT. ARE YOU FN KIDDING ME. AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR STATEMENTS I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED. THIS COMPANY IS A JOKE

Awful customer service! Unable to get a simple answer after reaching out on the app and calling 3 times.

My 92 years old mom had $600+ in insurance claims and I submitted in Dec. 2024. My mom received the check, but accidentally clipped the bottom of the check when she opened it. I requested VIA Benefits to cancel the check and re-issue on Feb. 10, 2025. They said they would reissue the check within 4-6 weeks. 8 weeks later, still never received the check. No they are asking me to resubmit the claims. This is unacceptable! Terrible customer service.

I have used Via Benefits for years and never had a problem. Today, April 4th, the website is down so I have to wait to turn in my expense. Dianne Mcmahan

I requested reimbursement which never came through and had to call repeatedly. One of the reps (Debbie) told me to withdraw funds and she would cancel the claims. The claims were not cancelled and I got paid twice and have to account for both of the payments which I cannot.

While the website itself can be tricky to navigate, the customer service more than makes up for the experience. I spoke with Regina and she was not only courteous, she worked quickly to resolve the situation and got me in touch immediately with the proper party and stayed on the line until the issue was resolved.

The problem with via benefits is they do what is easiest and cheapest for them. I have to use them to choose my medicare plan each year. I wanted plan G. They only had ONE plan G available and it was one of the most expensive ones. On the Medicare webiste there were many Plan G's available at LOWER prices for where I live. Remember every Plan G covers the SAME things equally. I would have to pay over $100 a month EXTRA because I have to use Via Benefits. TERRIBLE. ZERO STARS!!!

I was forced to use this company for an HSA through my employer. This company charges $2/month as a maintenance fee and $3/month as an investment fee, even if there are no changes in the account beyond investment return. When you close your account to get away from these fees, they charge you $25. Terrible experience. I would never use this company outside of being forced to.
