Group Health

I had Group Health insurance for 2 years. I loved it. We had a great pediatrician. I think my favorite thing about it was the convenience. My son broke his arm while we had Group Health. We went to see the pediatrician. Then we had x-rays done. Then he got his arm set. All of this happened in the same building.

I could get shots, lab work, x-rays, prescriptions filled - all in one stop. I had 3 kids at the time, so it was a life saver. I was never disappointed in the level of service from the doctors or anyone else I worked with.

No negatives? My mom always told me if I couldn't say anything nice then I shouldn't say anything =)

I'm in medical billing, so probably have more opinions than most. And you're right about GH. I LOVE Uniform! And next year they will be utilizing the Regence Blue Shield network, which will make them even better.

Just my (not-so-humble), medical billing biased, opinion. They're the last insurance I would choose to have, tied with United and Pacificare. Good luck!

I actually had a great experience with Group Health Capital Hill in Seattle. I delivered my daughter there and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the doctors, midwives, nurses and facilities. As with all things, there are slight negatives, but none that would warrant me to tell you that it's a terrible decision.

My husband who works in HR for a major corporation, was pushing hard to contract with GH for his company. They are the industry standard in many best practices. i.e making records easily accesible to patients, streamlining all services in one place (most buildings have a one stop shopping..if you will).

I was always able to get an appointment whenever I needed one. Everyone I dealt with was efficient and courteous.

I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Hope this helps! :)

UPDATE:

In this month's Consumer Reports, GH was rated Better Than Average in Consumer Satisfaction and Treatment. Also was ranked 48th out of 227 nationwide plans. I'd say that's pretty good. Let us know how it goes!!

I loved GH! Very easy to use, contact Dr's, online appts, very user friendly! Good luck!
