What will the Medica transition mean to me? Mar 1, 2021 | By Robert McGriff (@m039153)Comment receiving replies

Bruce: I want to offer a few counterpoints to your arguments.
1. There is nothing unusual about the fact that Medica did not allow you to talk to a "claims processor". That is standard practice. Those folks are busy doing their job and not equipped to respond to requests from plan members. That is the work of the Customer Service group that answers the calls.
2. HR Connect staff are correctly referring you to call Medica with your issue. The staff in HR Connect are not trained and do not have access to the right data to be able to respond to your specific questions about the Mayo Medical Plan.
3. The formal appeals/complaint process is by necessity in writing. This is not new to the plan.
I can certainly understand your frustration. If you would like to e-mail me at my Mayo e-mail address, I would be happy to ask a Manager to look into it further for you.
