I have been with Sidecar for a year I have been with Sidecar for a year, and the first few transactions where good. However, even when you ask your provider for an itemized bill, and they say, here is your itemized bill, Sidecar won't always accept what you provide to them. I had a chiropractor I had been going to for 10 years, and they said his rate was too high, which isn't the case, his rate is pretty standard for the area. Secondly, if I switch to another provider, they will require xrays, and initial assessment, before they will provide service, which will ultimately cost more. I am skeptical of Sidecar after a year, however, I rarely visit the doctors, so if I were anyone consider Sidecar, go with a higher deductable and pay less out of pocket and pay cash for cheaper services because they won't likely give you the full amount or barely any towards your deductable. So you may as well pay a lower premium each month.

Sidecar Health works the way I want my… Sidecar Health works the way I want my insurance to work. I feel empowered to get the healthcare services I need without having a traditional insurance company act as a gatekeeper. And then Sidecar offsets some (or even all!) of the cost! Recently I got a shoulder and a knee MRI and then took them to the orthopedist to review. I got all the info I needed in a single orthopedic session. Traditional insurance would have had me go to the orthopedist, THEN get the MRIs, THEN back to the insurance!

Extra Work Most insurance companies that I have had will do the extra work for you, which creates peace of mind. You simply inform people of your insurance and then it's billed. I dislike the extra work that I have to do of requesting a coded bill (which most will not give you right then and there) and then remembering to submit the bill in a timely manner.

Sidecar is Great! Sidecar has been an amazing way to manage my healthcare costs. As a generally healthy person, I enjoy low premiums and a comfort of knowing I’m covered for routine annual wellness, along with anything unusual that might arise. I have just renewed for a third year. Highly recommend!

The absolute worst experience ever!!! The absolute worst experience ever with insurance...or lack thereof! Everything is a hassle. When my employer signed up it all sounded great. The first month or so was good, then my meds changed and it all went south. I have had expenses pending for months because they do not want to pay me the difference as they claimed they would if I found a cheaper price than they had set. I don't have time to call and chat and jump through hoops. Customer service is terrible.
