Does your individual health insurance force you to belong to the Peoples Benefit Alliance? My monthly health insurance premium includes $3.95 for membership in the PBA. It might only be associated with Humana policyholders.
The website is at peoples-benefit.com. You can login with 'memberpba' to see the "benefits" this membership provides. Junk.
The explanation received so far from Humana (on the phone) is that my state (FL) requires it. I've submitted a question to see if I can get additional information.
I have not paid much attention to the charge because Humana deducts a lump sum from my checking account every month and never provides any documentation, written or electronic, describing what the charges are for. When I signed up for the insurance, I was quoted a monthly premium which included this "service fee." Humana neglected to deduct the "service fee" with my premium in January. I noticed the reduced withdrawl and started asking some questions. I remember getting a PBA booklet when I first signed up with Humana but it was junk and I've never used it.
Also, it seems odd to not have any access to view charges and payments. I understand no paper these days but not even an electronic accounting. Is this the same for you....money just disappears from your checking account or charges just appear on your credit card every month?
