What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
The father is ordered to carry the medical insurance, which has not been a problem up till now.
Dec 2010, he told me his plan was changing, only thing that was changing was the amount of deductables. I asked for a plan, which he told me I could find online. I can't, because BCBS will not let me access that information.
Jan 2011, I took the child to the dentist. I called him from the dentist office at his work for the insurance info, as I had not received anything from him. He gave me the information.
Feb 2011, I received a copy of letter that FOC sent to his employer. The letter stated that the child's insurance ended Jan 1, 2011, and that by law if insurance was available his employer needed to put the child on. I also showed the letter to him and he said he had insurance. I was then mailed a BC card.
July 2011, I received a bill from the dental visit in Jan. They said that BCBS policy expired Jan 1, 2011 and they denied the claim. I am now responsible for this bill. I showed the bill to him, he again claims he has insurance. I asked him to take the letter to work and to call the insurance company and get this straightened out. He told me to do it, which I have told him numerous times, I can't call the insurance company or his work, they will not deal with me, unless he authorizes it.
It's been 2 weeks, I have heard nothing from him. I have left several messages and he has not returned my calls. There is also a Dr bill from March that the insurance company has not paid yet.
My child is due back this month to the Dr's for immunizations, to his next dental appt and an eye appt. I have no clue if there is insurance on any of this.
How do you find out if your child has insurance or not? Is there something I can file on this?
