It took over a week of constant phone calls even though I was in the period I was permitted to make changes.
Some of the information CAN be difficult to understand. I have had no problems with Preferred Care Partners. Their booklets are easy to understand. Providers are listed by county so I check the counties in this area to see what my choices are. Early on I had aquestion about coverage so I called the customer service office. They were very helpful and I got the information I needed. All of this can be very confusing and it takes time to read all of the information they send out every year. I don't mind taking the time to figure it out, considering what I am saving in premiums!
