Extremely disappointed with Ameritas Life Insurance
I was devastated to learn that my life insurance policy which my father had arranged for me when I was a child was altered by Ameritas Life Insurance without my knowledge or consent Upon discovering the policy after my father s passing I was informed by an Ameritas representative that I could either surrender the policy for a mere 800 or retain it with my wife as the beneficiary for a 5000 value After choosing the latter option I recently contacted Ameritas three years later after a prolonged game of phone and email tag only to be informed that the policy had lapsed and that there was no money left to claim Despite their claims that they had contacted me earlier to inform me of the policy s expiration I have never received any such notification and they have no evidence to support their assertion I would rate their performance with negative stars if that were possible

I would give them NEGATIVE stars if possible The dental coverage through NAR for Realtors was NOTHING like what was described to be verbally by by RealtorsMarketplace rep OR in WRITING contained in my Certification of Coverage Impossible to speak to a LIVE Claims Rep after you enroll and give them your credit card I have literally been trying today FOR 4 HOURS They will offer to CALLBACK when they do I m ALWAYS 1 in the QUE and 45 mins later I m still holding I finally called my IN NETWORK provider and they told me EVERY claim they currently have with Ameritas is OUTSTANDING they are getting out of their network because of it I was visiting a Periodontist 100 miles from my town to be In Network I put down 400 deposit and paid 110 for exam and Xrays I did NOT need bc I have them from my dentist already paid for BY ME DO NOT GET INSURANCE WITH THIS COMPANY YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT I am contacting the National Association of Realtors to plead with them to find us another reputable dental insurance provider PLEASE

Policy is more important than people to this company
My mother s insurance policy changed to an Ameritas dental policy at the beginning of the year However she is in the middle of work with implants and they say that because she wasn t insured through THEM at the beginning of the work they REFUSE to pay for the continuation of the work My mother is elderly and on a limited budget She bought dental insurance years ago to help with these costs I called to speak with customer service and they said that is just their policy even though to do implants is a lengthy time and my mom had no choice with the change of insurance So basically they will pay NOTHING

Ameritas Annunity Sold Through AMBA by Bill Akins
I was working with Bill Akins who sold this annuity from Ameritas thru AMBA which is an organization made up of retired teachers I was told by BIll that I would have a guaranteed competitive interest rate of not less than 5 per year growth When I received my 2 year report I had less than I originally started with Bill had told me that if I gave him 500 up front I would have the opportunity to earn more in the first 2 years Essentially the 500 was his commission so in fact he did earn more in the first 2 years but I earned nothing How can that be The AMBA website stated that I would earn a guaranteed competitive interest rate but it didn t happen Now if I get out I have to surrender another 10 to do that So where is my money going It seems to me that the financial advisors are doing well by having dissatfied customers as the 10 we lost by exiting the annunity is also distributed back to the company and I would assume share with their financial adivsors My friend invested even more than I did and has lost thousands It seems that this is a ploy to swindle elderly people s money rather than to help them make money During this same time frame from 3 2022 to 3 2024 the S P increased 19 and the Dow was up 16 What kind of an financial advisor puts money where it doesn t earn money in that kind of a market Something very shady is happening in this scenario I would love to hear from others who have experienced this same thing I m sure there are many out there

65 per month for 18 months
65 per month for 18 months Never touched the policy for the first year of ownership I have no known dental issues Quick visit to the dentist a couple of x-rays and this company pays 2 00 Let me emphasize 65 per month for 18 months and this company pays 2 bucks for a 118 visit They are essentially unregulated in the ultimate nanny state of California Cannot recommend this company in fact urge a boycott or simply bypass Ameritas as an option

My claim was denied and then
My claim was denied and then reconsidered and denied again They said I didn t need the service provided I am assuming they wanted me to continue in pain from a cracked tooth They were good for many years but 2024 has been one hassle after another I DO NOT recommend them
