Easy Breezy If you're willing to work with your providers, some of whom may not fully get this concept and can actually make it more challenging for self-pay patients, then Sidecar Health is a breeze. I've not had any major issues to deal with yet, hopefully won't, but it's been the easiest process to use the Visa card, submit invoices, and track my expenses in the dashboard. Customer service and quick and so nice. Compared to what I would have been paying for "regular" health insurance, I'm definitely saving a ton. I've also seen all the doctors I prefer. I might have saved a little more going to one over another, but not significant enough to matter. So far I highly recommend Sidecar Health.

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!

I applaud the notion of being prudent… I applaud the notion of being prudent with scarce health care dollars. However, a mistake on Sidecar's part (duplicating an existing expense when they requested additional info which I uploaded) somehow couldn't be fixed by them, leaving me on the hook for almost $1,200 of lab services that had already been paid for. After 48 minutes on the phone trying to remedy the situation, the supervisor to whom I requested a transfer stuck to his script and wished me a great rest of my day. As if. So I cancelled my household's participation that day. Reached out on social media with no response. Terribly disappointing overall. EDIT: Prompt received wouldn't allow comments to be added. Tagged Sidecar on LinkedIn and X. Have already spoken with "Member Care" and got exactly nowhere. Feels like more of the same. Disappointing and frustrating.

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!

So far so good So far so good! I never get sick however, the first month I signed up I had an ear infection due to a cold and found a telemedicine site cheaper than the benefit amount listed on estimated care. I attached my invoices and I then received a credit towards my premium for next month. No other INS company has ever done that. Very pleasant and easy experience and I am so happy I found Side Car for my family. We pay for what we need instead of giving away our money to regular insurance companies. Thanks Side Car!
