Absolutely terrible. Despite saying that my school accepts this insurance, my school has denied insurance waiver multiple times. This company has been giving it all but to give me a refund for a service that I cant even use. Theyve been screening my emails and my queries. Imagine yourself being in a situation where youre in need of an urgent care, they dont even respond. Im going to escalate this with my bank. Please do yourselves a favor and dont get this insurance. You will absolutely regret it.

When you look at the plans they seem very good but the moment you look for doctors and clinics youll find that there are non. You might find doctors far away from where you live. This insurance only wants your money without helping you and you will eventually pay out of pocket because no doctor even heard on ISO.

I bought it in 2019 and I was very satisfied. I just want you guys to read your coverage details ... In my opinion what they commit, they provide.. my son was born and as per the plan i selected , they covered 75% of the expenses after deductible... Thats the best i can get at this price...

Worst insurance company and worst insurance policy ever! Don’t waste your money for a scam insurance that doesn’t cover anything! I paid 300$ for 3 months and every time you wanna see a doctor you need to pay 100$ deductible, that’s rediculous. My school offers health insurance 500$ per semester which covers everything. I won’t purchase from this company anymore. They are just making money without providing any service. It doesn’t cover ANYTHIING! In the policy it also says that if you have an accident, you won’t be covered. I’m wondering what is this insurance cover!? Lol

I am an international student and i always choose ISO as my insurance company. They offer great plans for students and they have user-friendly website that you can choose and purchase your plan easily. Those people who rating one stars complaining about bills are not covered have NO idea about the coverage of the plan they choose. Read the coverage carefully can prevent you from wasting money and time. They have several different plans, be responsible for yourself. ISO also has great customer service. The phone line is always available during working hours and the staffs are helpful and friendly. Agent Kaijo is great I asked her a lot of question and she was very patient and detailed for me. Five stars, no complains.

I have been a loyal customer of this insurance company since 2015. But in 2019, they started partnering with a new insurance administrator Wellfleet. The claims handling of Wellfleet is absolutely the worst. To get my $33 prescription reimbursed, I have spent at least two hours calling and writing emails to explain to the customer representatives that my claim form was attached to the 1/7/2020 email which they conveniently ignored and denied my claim saying that I havent responded to a request for the claim form. Absolutely outrageous. Worst claims handling.

I spent so much time to find a good insurance plan with inexpensive rate that fulfills NYU waiver requirements. Finally got ISO plan based on NYU recommendation. Affordable rate with great coverage, excellent customer service helping with my waiver form. The claim process is easy that I just showed my card to the school center. They even covered my three HPV shots last semester which are so expensive. I just enrolled for this year and again save almost $3000. Highly recommend to all international students!

Don’t waste your money on this insurance. I paid the highest price plan for OPT, but it literally doesn’t cover anything!

This company has a rating of 1.5 for obvious reasons. If there is an option for the negative star; I would definitely give them. I visited my doctor and claimed my process and still, its showing me that I have to pay my doctor and the lab I visited. A few days ago I found that this company has paid nothing to anyone and took my money (I need answer). In short, this is scam. Please dont use this service!

It is a scam. This is the worst health insurance ever. it doesnt work anywhere. Doctors, hospitals and clinics never accept it. If you are an international student buy your health insurance from a reliable company. This insurance is a scam!!!!!!!!

I am a member with ISO for years since I was F1 full time students at university, and now become OPT status. Last semester, my school changed waiver requirements in the middle of the academic year. ISO customer representatives tailored plans and assist me through the waiver denial issue in 2 days. I am impressed by their prompt response. I have referred many friends to ISO and got the referral bonus from them.

I have been using ISO for the past 3 years as an undergraduate student. They would revise plans to meet my school requirements every year, so I didnt have to buy an expensive plan from school. When I needed to find doctors, customer service was helpful and explained me about the benefits I could get from the plan. They have great deals if you are looking for inexpensive plans to save up money. ISO does not offer eye or dental plans when I checked last time; Im not sure if they do now.

Pray that you will not have an accident if you bought insurance from this company. It happened to me, and I had very little to almost no help from them. So, please, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Review №21

I wouldnt mind if you guys create a $1000 insurance package as long as it actually covers something. Needed to check the doctor but having to use my own pocket money although i had “an insurance.” Lol, please dont pay people to write some rude reviews about other people who gave you 1 star, it only makes your brand look even more downgraded tbh.There is no reason that so many people give you that low rate.

Be careful about whatever they say. On their page about insurance for UVA student, they said you have to buy 12 months insurance to waive schools insurance. However, the school only require the insurance to cover the school year which means you only need 9 months coverage.

I went to a doctor visit about my chest pain, paid my visit in FULL, mail the documents as specified in their manuals and got an email saying its processed. Guess what, the result of being processed means that I owe the EXACT amount that I ALREADY paid for. I feel like I was scammed. I resonate strongly with the negative reviews here and the good ones baffles me. This company has a rating of 1.5 for obvious reasons. If there is an option for 0 star, the overall review will probably be 0.5.

If I could give negative stars, I would. ISO refused to pay my claim despite me providing every single document they asked for (and it was a lot). I ended up paying over $1000 for a 5 minute visit to a doctor. To everyone, do not trust this shady company! I went to two walk-in clinics listed on the healthsmart website and both refused to see me as ISO has a reputation for not paying bills.

They are irresponsible. When I called customer care to buy the insurance, they told everything along with eye and dental will be covered. After the appointment was done with ophthalmologist, they are denying that my insurance will not cover. I asked them annoyingly twice while buying and they are denying it.Some other appointments, they told it is a pre existing condition and they are not going to cover. If it was pre existing condition, why would I go to a doctor after 8 months from the day that I bought the insurance ? Totally sense less.I was using this insurance since 1 year and they did not spend a single dollar on my 7 doctor visits.Me: Will it at-least cover accidents ? Ex: When I met with an accident while driving a car?REP: We will cover when no other insurance will cover it.WOW!! . Wonderful. The most irritating customer reps I have ever spoken with. I need to repeat my self several times to make her understand a simple questions and I have to provide multiple different examples to get answers.WORST of the worst customer service. I dont want to loose my money to worthless insurance.It seems for me like they are looting International students in the name of insurance.

Stay away of this shady insurance company! They come up with annual deductible cost, which is $1,250, and they’re claiming that after exceeding this cost only, they’re going to cover. What kind of insurance policy is that? It’s gonna be cheaper to pay out of pocket if you’re still young and healthy! STAY AWAY!

Do not use this insurance company. I have filed my superbills with them from October of 2016 and they mistakenly sent it to the clinic instead of my home address. Its February 2017 and till now I have not received my reimbursements. Absolutely ridiculous!!!Im actually updating this. There customer service contacted me and said they needed to reconfirm my address (Who knows why despite them sending all their explanation of benefits to my address with no problems). And despite them stating they would send it with in a week its been two weeks and still no reimbursement. Its just empty promises. Please please please do not use this health insurance; its not worth it and Id give it 0 starts if possible.

THEY WILL NEVER PAY YOU! STAY AWAY!!!I thought I was buying an insurance, nothing like that! You might think its cheaper than other insurances but please do not make the mistake!!! Youre just wasting your money. God forbid if you need to use it. First they do not tell you what is the proper process to file a claim. My claims havent been taken care of since March 2017, today is December 7. I had to pay all the bills myself so they dont go to collection.Dear Owner (Manager), you make it very difficult for your customers to submit claims so they finally give up and you just dont pay. Your communication system is archaic...Stated on their website: Providing the most efficient customer care service has been ISOs primary goal - You definitely are far from reaching that goal!And update after another interaction with their customer service:After many attempts to received a decision on my claim, they told me its denied because of pre-existing condition. Going to urgent care with a back pain is a pre-existing condition!!! Its a shame!!!

This is a Local Guides review. (Unfortunately, I couldnt give them 0 star)I would definitely not recommend my friends to get this so called insurance. This is a scam company. I am willing to release all the information and documents that prove my claim. The HealthSmart Insurance handles all the claims and will deny any bills. They have the most irreverent and uneducated Customer service. They wont pay for anything. If you already have got any bill the only way to get your rights is to hire an advocate and fight them at a court as I am doing so.

WORST HEALTH INSURANCE, DO NOT BUY THIS. They didnt even cover a 35$ blood test I did. The most unhelpful, money hungry organization ever. I have been trying to access my account to view the status of my claims and it has suddenly disappeared seems convenient since the 90 days claim period is approaching. I have never felt so undermined and extorted. They have no customer service representative handling claims and no direct personnel to reach out to via email to assist you in filing your claims. Just a sorry excuse of an insurance provider out there to scam. I am calling out to any representative who can directly assist me in assessing my claims to step forward I am tired of receiving thousands of dollars in bills from hospitals when I am paying for coverage. I WANT ASSISTANCE from someone who speaks english and doesnt not sound like they are from a call center that is in China *no racism intended* its just the reality of the situation.

Updated on 3/23/2017. I just received a very STRANGE Explanation of Benefits. Not only the insurance said they will not cover any of my bill, but they double my bill, which means, (I went to that clinic twice on that claim day, but actually I ONLY went to the clinic ONE time on that day). At the same time, they showed some weird formula and give me some discount, which make me still need to pay more than the original bill!!!(and the fake discount just want to tell me, I am better than what I should be)Because as I said, I ALREADY paid the bill myself, and I just checked with the clinic and clinics parent company. I DO NOT OWE any money!! Now, seems like they are trying to make a fraudulent bill and try to threat me! If you dont think I am qualify for the insurance coverage, and you dont want to pay me, I am fine. But PLEASE dont make nonsense or fraudulent statement, thank you!BE CAREFUL! GOD WILL NOT SLEEP!--------------------------updated on 3/7/2017. I did receive the notice in my mailbox in Feb 15th and I already sent all the information back the next day through email. NEVER hear anything back from ISO. And I also reply the email that I received from Claim Analyst Ms. Horner, and NEVER hear anything back. Looks like their customer service remedy just solve on the surface. Commenting on here is really like whipping an old horse, and it just move one little tiny step.-----------------------updated on 2/11/2017. The customer service is always be nice but actually help nothing. I didnt receive any call or any email about my case update or so on. Actually, I already PAID the bill myself. If ISO really want to be nice, and process my case, it should contact me through phone or email, but not just simply wrote this kind of irresponsible reply. Haha, how funny!---------------------REALLY BAD! I am an international student who is in my OPT status. I have to buy the insurance myself instead of buying the international student insurance from school. This is a really BAD insurance company.First of all, their customer services is not easy to access and you have to be prepared you will waste lots of your time.Then, even though you talk to them, they will try to kick the ball to the clinic or the hospital, such as oh, we didnt hear back from the XXX clinic, we didnt receive the doctors record. But after I verify with my clinic, they said they already faxed to them! I repeated calling my clinic and the ISO back and forth many times.Third, if use the analogy to describe this insurance company, is really like a bad boy try to fool a girl. It is when he wants you to purchase their insurance, he will try his best to please you and write everything perfect on his official website without notifying lots of exceptions and restrictions. But after you buy it, he just never respect the girl(customers). I really need to divorce with ISO immediately!!!Fourth (and whats worse), in order to protect my credit history, I have to pay the bill myself. I already PAID myself.I can hardly find one reason to buy ISO, but I can find a hundred reasons not to buy it. If you really have much money to waste, I think dump your money into the stock market is wiser and more valuable.I REALLY belief god will never sleep too long to let this kind of the enterprise to continue so long! ISO insurance company will get what it deserves.

Do NOT choose this insurance! This is definitely the worst insurance company ever! I made claim in 2016 summer and they kept requiring my info. I handed in my accident info several times but they never responded! Now it is 2017 and I still receive a bill over $4,000 from the hospital. Worst custom service ever!

Review №41

Do never choose this company.My experience is beyond unbeliavable. 2 months ago I had to go to the doctors to do a couple of tests. Because the doctors were not sure about my benefits, they decided to call ISO to ask them if I had coverage for the service, and ISO said yes without asking specifically for which type of tests.2 months later, I just received a 400 dollar bill from ISO asking me to pay the amount and claiming that they do not cover anything with some stupid excuse. Pure fraud

Everyone, please don’t buy this insurance. It’s an unheard of pits. It doesn’t cover anything. When I didn’t activate this insurance, I found that it doesn’t cover anything, so I contacted the insurance company and wanted to cancel the insurance plan. They just said that unless you Be a soldier! Otherwise, I won’t refund the money. I’m going to laugh to death. Where can the international students go to serve as a soldier?
