Antidote has gone AWOL
UPDATE: Okay, now I just found out that Antidote is NOT PAYING my allergy doctor, where I get weekly allergy shots. This doctor is "Tier 1" in their network, and this treatment was approved by Antidote. This is going to be a MESS, I am so furious.

I think Antidote gone out of business or is about to. Their website is full of WRONG information about health care providers that accept their insurance. I've left MANY voicemails at the member line over 3 weeks, and no one ever returns my call. The voicemail says "someone will return your call within 24 hours" but it's been over 3 weeks, and no response.
I tried calling the number to sign up with them, and got a woman who was helpful. She said that she works for a company that contracts with Antidote, but that "I've been flooded with calls recently from people who can't get through to them!" She suggested that I call the physician line; I did, and a person there said she'd put me in touch with someone. She put me on hold... but after 30 minutes (!) I gave up.
They're still taking my premiums though, ha.
I have reported them to the State of Ohio Department of Insurance.
I'm working with healthcare. gov, to see if I can switch to another insurer even though it's February, because if Antidote hasn't gone out of business yet, they're about to.
