    SHIP has been impossible to deal with in the last few months.
    They are preying on my 91 year old mother denying her one claim after another for no reasons, other that thier own ineffeciencies and misinformation.

    The consistently get the wrong information on my mother to deny her claims, then once it is pointed out that thie information is wrong they come up with another reason to deny her claims.

    Their business practices are poor. You cannot contact anyone via email.

    You cannot contact anyone via phone at thier respective extension.

    They have not merged thier systems in over 3 years and information that should be readily aavailbale to thier customer service people is not. The level of exasperation from their personnel is very high. It seems they know that they are under orders to DENY, DENY and DENY some more.

    Thier CEO , Greg Serio, is unresponsive. I guess the windows in his office have changed from rose colored to smoke. It matches the mirrors that the company uses to portray themselves as efficent and caring when in my opinion they are anything but.

    My long term care is in the hands of a 5A1 company not a company like SHIP.

    God help the people who put thier trust in the management people of SHIP
