~NativeMainer: I had to change the PCP on my plan, tried to do it online but the date wouldn't change to the date I was making the change. I needed the date so that my PCP could make a referral for me to an out-of-state specialist for breast cancer treatment. It took about a minute to get through the automated stuff to get to a live person. The rep was very understanding, listened to my situation, then spent time getting in touch with a person who could help, then getting the effective date changed in the system. I was put on hold several times during this process, but the rep checked back every few minutes with an update and asked if he could put me on hold each time. I was impressed with the experience.
