Is a health/dental insurance company required by law to notify a member by letter that his coverage has been terminated?
Recently, my wife had to have emergency dental work and we both believed that she was covered under my employer's group dental plan. Previously, she had been, but was unintentionally terminated by our HR person. I (we) were not aware of this, until recently. In fact, we had received new ID cards (1-2 weeks before the termination), but I never received notice from the health insurance company (or my employer) that her coverage had been terminated.
The termination happened about 6 months ago, and now the health insurance company isn't willing to reinstate her coverage retroactively; nor has my employer offered to cover the dental expenses.
