National Way Healthcare Association (fka Nationwide Benefits - Health One) called to solicit
This is pretty strange. I still haven’t received the long promised motion to dismiss from their attorney Kenneth Moyer. Sure was surprised to get their message today.
They gave me the new website http://www.select129.com/ - another private registration. Since there is no useful info on their site, I called again and finally talked to supervisor Nathan.
It was a very long call. It’s now $199/month and open enrollment ends this week. Does that mean they’re finally going out of business?
Nathan finally gave me the # for National Way Healthcare Association to get more information:
Mike McVay 832-615-1012
So I did a Google search for 832-615-1012 To my surprise, the only links are to my own sites. And there’s ALL KINDS of good stuff! This was before I had the fax blog.
According to a comment, Health One = USA Family Medcare = 10333 Harwin in Houston and Mike McVay is the CFO. I can’t understand why the TX AG hasn’t named ALL of them in his suit, must be time to try to get in touch with his people, this is confusing the hell out of me.

They want me to pay $99.00 one time fee plus $199.99 per month for my husband. I am on medicare. They said it paid 90% of a joint room in the hospital and $20.00 per visit to the Dr. was our costs. But to get the rest of the infor.I had to agree to let them deduct $299.00 out of my account. This is the number to get back to them 832-615-9000 or cal Millisha at 1-800-810-7856 ext.1908 mon thr fri 8am-5pm cst.
I hope you didn't fall for this scam, they obviously lied. Please post in new topic at Health care scams if you need help getting your money back.
And I hope you'll file your complaint with the TX AG, please let me know if you need help with that.
I just signed up for National Way Healthcare Association Insurance. I am right now in the process of cancelling it. I don't know if they will really get me out of the system, so any information you have or what to do would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Christina
The $199/month program includes some real insurance benefits, BUT everything important is subject to CONDITIONS.
If anyone actually orders and gets the complete benefit package explaining the coverage, I'd sure like to see it scanned and analyzed.
