SilverScript Reviews

Silverscript cancelled my Part D enrollment for non-payment with no notice of billing or cancellation until after the cancellation date, and despite accepting my payment, well after the open enrollment period so that it was too late for me to reapply for other Part D coverage.

Over the phone, the agent admitted that I had not been billed, but stated I should have paid earlier regardless. They failed to respond to my request to have a Supervisor call me to review the cancellation.

Aetna Silver Script plan D is a scam. the worst prescription drug coverage I have ever hd in my life. They decide what they will cover and what they won't and charge ridiculous rates for the drugs. They refuse to take coupons and charge the maximum they can for generic drugs. Choose a different company and I am getting out as soon as I can...

The great reviews must be paid reviewers. This insurance is worthless. It showed all of my meds covered for reasonable cost. So I signed up for Part D SilverScripts. Now nothing I take is covered. I've received a dozen letters saying my prescriptions are not covered. Even generic meds aren't covered? Whats up with that? Totally worthless insurance.

If I could give Silverscript Aetna a NEGATIVE one million I would. They are liars, unreliable and no one knows what’s going on. This company is going to go down in flames. I don’t know if they are just understaffed or completely inefficient. It wasn’t this way 2 years ago but last year my doctor did have a hard time getting my prescriptions renewed. He kept having to resend and resend and resend a fax with the prescription renewals. I waited 30 minutes going to one rep after another and then when I asked for a supervisor they said I would have to wait 15 minutes. I can’t do that as I am working. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PRESCRIPTION COMPANY. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL.

Prescriptions are cheaper without the insurance blood pressure medicine is triple the price with the insurance then without. Something wrong with this picture. Actually -5 stars avoid at all cost they just take advantage

SilverScript/Aetna and representitive Mel can NOT be trusted! After having difficulty filling a prescription at all my local pharmacies due to no inventory/back ordered, SilverScript offered their own pharmacy, had it in stock and using mail order. I accepted.

When I called again to find out where my prescription was, they lied and told me MY DOCTOR CANCELED THE PRESCRIPTION! I knew it was a flat out ly, my doctor would not do that. I contacted my doctor and they confirmed what I suspected. *

Most interesting is that in Canada the drug I need is in stock and cost 1/5 th the price. Under $200 in Canada and over $1,000 in US for same script.

I've been with SilverScript for many (at least 10) years and deeply regret deciding to stay with them this coming year of 2023.

It's still Decemer of 2022 but beyond the Dec 7th deadline and I'm not allowed to change my prescription coverage and it's not even effective yet. We'll see if there is any retaliation as a result of this review.

I give them a negative 10. All the numbers I called for help are in a foreign country. They refused to give me a fax number to send my power of attorney for my mom, they refused to let me speak with a supervisor or the supervisor refused to speak with me. Furthermore, my mom has been on Silver Script for several months and yet she has not received her ID card or any other information, they've said they sent it twice. I've never seen such incompetency in the medical field especially for seniors. Absolutely unacceptable patient support.

Silver Script pays nothing, we pay them every month, but they claim we never meet our deductible or they dispute our doctors authorization to submit prescriptions.

1 star. When I started getting Medicare I chose a part D Drug Plan (Aetna's Sliver Script). Anyway we agreed for the premium to come out of my Social Security Payment....Long Story short. My Mother passed away so I had been away from my home for a couple of months and I received a notice that my premium would be canceled for non payment in the mail......didn't see the notice because I had been out of town.

I understand, if you don't pay your bill things are canceled but we agreed to have my payment come out of my social security. All I am saying is it is bad business, you don't agree to have something come out by autopay and then not take it out and accuse someone of not making a payment.....and now I can't reenroll until Oct 15th for a Prescription Plan....Bad business.

I've had many problems with this Silverscript Drug Plan. I can't wait until December, when I can change to another plan. I will never get another plan that uses CVS Caremark. Some of my complaints:

1) I was sent the wrong kind of insulin and it took me 5 months to resolve the issue. I had to file a written complaint and wait and wait until somebody in the complaint dept. resolved the issue in my favor and allowed me to return the drug and get a refund for the money they took out of my credit card. Then just a few days later, another person from Aetna called me and said that he was going to evaluate the complaint. I told him it had already been resolved and gave him the name of the person I had talked with. He had no record of the resolution and said didn't know that person!

2) The CVS Caremark web portal is a disaster. Very user-unfriendly. I don't know how many older people could even use it. It kept creating untimely and unwanted orders for my insulin and "reminding" me to approve the order. I denied the orders because I didn't need any more insulin and in fact had over a 3 months supply at home. I was unable to delete these extra orders from my Caremark portal--in fact, I called customer service to ask how to do it and they didn't know, either!

3) Caremark has very poor customer service. No matter what phone number you call, all of your calls go to the overseas customer service. It isn't the people that are bad, but the policies they have to follow. It seems that they aren't allowed to make big decisions. On one call, I asked to speak to the supervisor and was told that she was too busy to talk to me. I asked to file a written report and the customer service person said SHE had to write it. (She read it back and it wasn't what I wanted her to say.) Then when I asked her for a copy of what she had written, she said that wasn't possible. Be prepared to spend 1/2 to over an hour on the phone with customer service. Nothing is fast.

4) When you ask for a return label to send back your unwanted order, it takes the customer service person about 15 minutes to do the paperwork while you are waiting on the phone in silence. They want to MAIL the return label to a person. (I tried that, and it never arrived in the mail). You have to make a special request to have them email it to you, (another 15 minutes waiting) and then it takes 1-3 days for the email to arrive. Unbelievably inefficient!

5) Despite placing myself on "no automatic refills" I recently received another shipment of insulin that I had neither ordered nor approved and didn't need. My guess is that the Caremark web portal created this unwanted order (this would be the third time) and didn't notify me to either approve or deny it, and just went ahead and sent it. Crazy. I was not on automatic refill and was supposed to be notified by email every time a change was made to my account.

6) The Caremark portal is unable to keep track of any meds I get from a local pharmacy that is not a CVS. I switched my prescriptions from the local CVS to Kroger because the CVS store went out of business. Yet, my web portal keeps saying that I have prescriptions that need to be filled at CVS. Even though the Silverscript plan is paying for the prescriptions I get at my Kroger pharmacy and should know what it has reimbursed, the web portal is not able to keep track of these.

In short, to describe Silverscript and CVS Caremark I would say “the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.”

Existing Aetna SilverScript member, called phone # on card to ask VERY SIMPLE prescription question, was immediately SLAMMED with 3 different pre-recorded sales pitches for unwanted stuff (seriously - sounded like a used car sales commercial "Buy now, now, now,...!!!), hung up before the 4th one started. Found an alternate number, called it, got a Call Center in Philippines, did not help. Total opposite of Customer Service. Will dump these clowns as soon as possible.

-1- star because I'm forced to.

I take ZERO prescription medications. I really don't need this coverage. I threw my back out & needed a pain reliever. Went to Walgreens and guess what? $12.38 later I had to pay cash since they are not contracted with AETNA.

So I'm paying AETNA $7 a month for prescriptions I don't own and yet when I had a script I needed Walgreens wouldn't accept AETNA Silver Script. CAN YOU SAY MONEY GRAB BY AETNA?

Beyond nightmare and I'm seriously considering contacting a lawyer at this point for negligence and endangerment on the part of Caremark.

The customer service reps are all very nice and trying to help but since I had to start on Silver Script 3 months ago I've had problems getting my prescriptions filled even though my doctors have, at Caremark's request, sent in new prescriptions.

The site shows no refills on anything (not true, I've spoken to my doctors), different Caremark reps provide conflicting information, managers tell me they've corrected the problems, etc.

I still don't have what I need to breathe. Manager swears it will be sent today and I receive an email that says it will be sent almost two months from now.

I’ve had SilverScript for a few years. It wasn’t too bad before - when it was just SilverScript, but since Aetna took over it stinks.

I constantly get notices that I haven’t paid my premium for last month when I have. I even made a copies of the last two months checks with the current month’s payment. When I pay my premium they are now trying to charge me a few dollars more each month to cover what?

The prescription costs with them are sky high and I’ve read reviews where some pay out of pocket instead of using them.

Steer clear of this company and you’ll save a lot of wear and tear on yourself.

Do not enroll in this plan if you are diabetic!!! They do not cover trulicity, humulin u-500, or eliquis although coverage is represented on the medicare website. Medicare.Org needs to be more diligent in investigating the accuracy of part d insurer representations of coverage.

My PCP sent in a script on 10/25 ---- it is now 11/6 - 2 weeks later - and it still has not been processed. I called a week ago and was told to "rest assure it will be shipped within 2 day"... I called again today and was told the exact same thing.

How can I believe them when I am getting nothing by a scripted message. I requested to speak to a supervisor and was told that due to Covid they were all working from home - which makes sense.

We are in a renewal period - I will be looking for a new provider - since AETNA took over they have been nothing but a headache.

I bought SilverScript Choice last year because while the monthly payment of about $30 was higher, the deductible for the year was $250. The 2022 Notice of Changes showed a premium increase of about $1 a month.

Great, right? Except, slipped into another part of the notice was that the deductible was up to $480. Factoring the deductible into the calculations, the monthly premium plus deductible was up over $20, or a bit more than a 66% increase.

The SilverScript customer service tried to blame the change on Medicare. I'll be changing providers.

This PDP is an abomination. You can't even get their formulary and cost list before you purchase it. I have a pending complaint about how my plan (Smart Rx) was misrepresented to me with Medicare and after at least a month have not heard from them.

The reason I bought it in the first place was because it was the highest scored plan recommended thru

the E-Health website. E-Health takes into account all your medications and scores the plan best suited to your needs.

To get to the point, my estimated costs for this year will be 10 times that for last year. Something is very very wrong in the way this plan is represented. There has to be an ombudsman somewhere and, if Medicare does not come thru with an acceptable resolution, I will work at trying to right this egregious wrong.

For the moment, I strongly advise that you run for the hills when you see the brand name Aetna SilverScript. (I believe they recently formed a partnership with CVS.) Seniors living on a limited income must have confidence that E-Health is a reliable source.

Again, this whole hassle has been nothing but an abomination. I also spoke hours on the phone with their reps who can hardly speak English. The irony, when you realize what you've bought into, your health will deteriorate even further and you’ll need them even more.

It seems the only options now are the discount coupon programs. (My doctors, I’m sure, will just love having to call in prescriptions to different pharmacies for each? Where is the accountability?

We require life saving medications. It took me over 2 months to get a refill of medications taken for 20 years and that they had refilled before. NOTE: These are refills, nothing new. Our doctor's office hates them because of the amount of hassle and repeat calls required.

Don't expect anyone that you call with them to know how to help you or to speak intelligently. I am never rude (it doesn't help), but there staff is incompetent. You can go up the ladder to supervisor (only after an hour on the phone with a first level representative) and the supervisor will read your member web page to you three or four times. What she reads will not match the page you log into.

After over (no kidding) 30 hours invested in phone time, you might (or not) get a prescription filled. It is the worst company I have ever had to deal with.

I was a member for approximately 10 years fell behind 1 payment, received bill for 2 pmnts sent check for 2 pmnts then received call telling me I was cancelled but make 2 pmnts by phone and i did they have 4 pmnts they gave me reinstatement # and transaction # for electronic pmnt told all set, went to pick up meds no ins was cancelled.

For next 3 days 5.5 hrs on phone and flat out lied to had to call medicare for help, they enrolled me in new company silver script has not returned my money and will now not let me speak to anyone in company based in america only what they call my team. Please folks stay away from these foreign based crooks.
