The Active&Fit program changed mid 2024 and is no longer of any value. Prior to the change a member could visit multiple gyms for a a monthly fee. After the change a member can only visit one gym for the monthly fee. Most gyms have plans that cost the same as the Active&Fit monthly fee, so they are only acting as a middle man with zero benefit to the member. Why pay for a plan that costs the same or more in some cases than just joining the gym directly on your own? They do offer exercise videos on their website, but there is... read more

American Specialty Health is denying chiropractor visits that we are entitled to. My husband has ****** and he has 30 chiropractor appointments a year. I have United Healthcare and also have 30 chiropractic appointments a year. Both healthcare companies use *** to monitor our chiropractor care. We have to fill out a form every few chiropractor appointments and then ASH approves a number of chiropractic services based upon what they think we need. They are limiting our healthcare visits by delaying the approval process. This ... read more

Good luck trying to get an appointment! Left several voice mails .. never got a response! 

Business response:

Hi *******, we believe you may have left this review for our company in error. Our company offers and manages health/fitness benefits. We have not managed any benefits for you since 2020, and those benefits would not have involved appointment scheduling. Hopefully, you can redirect your concern and achieve resolution.

This particular company is based on the premise of ********************************** My daughter, Who was an employee of this company worked here under the thought of gaining growth, and stability with a good Health firm. She was actually looking for a Company for her career goals, for the long haul. She literally saw employees come and go on a WEEKLY basis, yet she remained. Unfortunately, she was stricken with COVID!!! Ironically, They Failed to look out for her Health and Wellness. She lost pay due to no remaining vacati... read more

This is the worst company I have dealt with. I am presently post surgical and they have denied the care I need to get well. They take pt visits away from me. Which denies me the care I need to get well. Therapist asks for 2 visits, I get one a week. At times it has taken me over 2 weeks to get the session. Stay away from them. Recently they gave me 6 when therapist said 8, then they said I cant use them until November. What the heck!!! The month of October was a disaster. Someone needs to shut them down. 

Business response:

We are sorry to hear that this experience has not met your expectations. A leader from our ******************************* reached out to you by email today. If you will reply at your convenience to provide the identifying information we need for further research, we will work directly with your provider to help. Sometimes there is miscommunication at play that can be easily rectified. Thank you for reaching out we look forward to assisting.

Really terrible customer service. I signed up for a premium gym membership with Active and Fit Direct. When I attempted to activate it with the club, the club didnt accept it. I did my due diligence and attempted to resolve the issue with the club to no avail. So I called Active and Fit Direct to ask for a refund and waited 30 minutes on three different occasions to talk to three different representatives, one of them supposedly a manager. The manager said she wanted to give me a refund but there were steps she has to take f... read more

Extremely disappointed and frustrated with Active and Fit Direct. Out of nowhere I was unenrolled in the gym I have been going to for years. I had to re-enroll and sign up for all of the fees over again. When I tried to contact them for support I was kept being sent in a loop through bots. I had to wait on the phone for 30 minutes to speak to a worker. The worker kept referring to the wrong insurance, said I was sent several emails (which I was not, even in my Spam), and that there was nothing she could do. I have been enrol... read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. If you have any chronic pain that is not due to an injury expect to be rejected for physical therapy. I have 4 doctors that want me in PT and ASH keeps declining it. Their process for approving claims makes it near impossible for my doctors to have the right to say this is medically necessary. ASH looks at two things, range of motion and strength. Both of those things are not problems for me so its an automatic decline irregardless of how much pain I am in. Im paying for 120 pt visits each ye... read more

Business response:

Hello ************************, we appreciate the opportunity to provide clarification that we hope you will find helpful. Most patients have their conditions resolved without the need to submit medical records or other information. In situations when medical necessity review is required, peer clinicians look comprehensively at the overall clinical circumstances for the individual patient, including but not limited to assessment of current objective deficits and progress with the therapy interventions that have been rendered... read more

In violation of the terms of my ********************* agreement, American specialty health has refused to pay their share of cost for my out of network acupuncturist because I didnt send them my entire medical chart starting with my intake forms and ending with copies of all examination forms used assessing my condition and my progress. I will also be reporting them to the insurance regulators In my state. They are doing everything they cannot to pay their patients and they need to be shut down. 

Business response:

Hi ********, thank you for submitting feedback. This allows us the opportunity to offer additional information and further assistance. All visits are subject to medical necessity review to ensure care follows evidence-based clinical guidelines and is appropriate for your condition(s). If your provider is out-of-network, medical necessity verification is necessary after your 5th visit. I see direct reimbursement to you in the system, but additional information is required from you. Sometimes, out-of-network providers step in ... read more
