I need a site that I can use to report false advertising for a medical benefits some type of Reg board?

Question

Before joining a medical benefit discount program I inquired if I could continued to see my present Drs, which I was told "yes". After paying for the program, which I was informed it was 2 payment ,one month a joining fee & the other for the month, my policy started on the day I made payment  April 13th ,  which I was not informed. I was told I would have my cards that tues.. April 17 th . After 3 phone calls in reference to my cards & information, I rec'd them on May 15th.   I was given a site for participating Drs, which the site has been down  since & has not been available to this date. I called to make an appt for some yearly test & was told that the hospital never heard of this program & wont honor it. I just want my money back & to report this program so others don't get misinformed & use it like I did. Please,What are my options?

Heres an article about how to spot a health insurance scam.

I also did some research and found out that there is a difference between a health "plan" or "program" and health insurance. What that differences are, I do not know at this time. That may be a good question for you to ask on Yahoo answers. Then from there, find out who you can report to for each one.

Also-I would repost this question in health and insurance - you might get more answers.

Sorry to hear that you got SCAMMED. Medical discount plans are a big problem and many people fall for their promises. The people that sell them don't need an insurance license nor a health care background. They are not regulated by the state department of insurance. Contact the Better Business Bureau in the city that the plan is located first to see if they can help you. They will contact the company for you (if they're still in business). Search out the company on the Internet to see if there are any lawsuits against them.
