OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer advises anyone seeking health insurance to confirm they’ve purchased coverage from a reputable company. The word of caution comes after a long investigation into Seguro Medico — which did business under a host of different names, primarily Quick Health — and testimonies from over 120 of the company’s victims.

The victims filed complaints with the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) about Quick Health’s fraudulent business practices, which included failing to refund customers for cancelled plans, misrepresenting its plan coverages during the sales process and making unauthorized charges to policyholders’ bank accounts.

“At a time when many are struggling to find affordable health insurance, it’s deeply disturbing when bad actors take such clear advantage of people,” Commissioner Kuderer said. “We will hold the perpetrators accountable, but many of these consumers are out thousands of dollars and deserve to be made whole.”
