What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Minnesota. My ex-employer cancelled BCBS insurance effective 7-31. I was given no notice and no option to choose another plan to avoid lapse in service. I had surgery on 8-3 thinking I was covered. I only discovered the problem when the pharmacy told me the insurance card was not valid. I have been working since trying to get this resolved. As of today, 8-13, no new insurance and the only insurance they say I can get in Minnesota (I was the only MN employee) is $ 500 more per month that the "standard" policy for the remainder of the company. My premium will jump to $ 1500 per month. Because of the surgery I had on 8-3, I have no choice but take some coverage. BCBS would have converted me to an individual policy for less has I done so prior to 7-31 when the company cancelled. Now they will not do that. So by not getting ANY notice, I lost all my options and have effectively been without health insurance since 7-31. The company in based in Philadelphia and incorporated in Delaware. One final note, prescriptions that have now run out, that I should be taking daily, I can't get filled because of this. Any advice is appreciated. :mad:
