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.

save yourself money. get a different kind major medical insurance Cutting out the "middle man" with big Insurance and their partnership with drug companies has been easier to navigate than I expected. The Website has been easy to use. And both the chat feature and calling the help phone number has yielded immediate assistance. So far I have cut my prescription drug costs in half by using RX gold. I pay $10 per month for the service, but it cut my costs so much that even factoring in that cost I will probably cut my out of pocket costs by 2/3 at the end of 1 year.

Way better than my employer given plan Highly recommend this company! I have had insurance with leading commercial companies and though it was employer paid, it was and HMO with high deductible. I went part time, 24 hours a week and become ineligible. I also run my own business and came upon Sidecar while searching for an answer. The marketplace options were absurd for what they offered. I am so glad I lost my other coverage, this is so much better!

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.

I think Sidecar is great I think Sidecar is great. You can customize your plan to fit your budget. They send reminders to submit your invoices, which is very helpful. Everything is pretty straightforward and easy to understand. You can even change or cancel your plan at any time, so there is no long-term commitment required. I truly recommend it to anybody I know who is uninsured and looking for affordable options.
