What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
Apparently, my health insurance was supposed be affective on July 1st, 2011. I was unaware of this because this date was prior to my 90 days (I was told I would be eligible at 90 days- started April 18th). I went to two doctor's appointments in July and paid out of pocket for the visits and prescriptions (approximately $300).
I mentioned to my team coach that I had to pay out of pocket for my visit and suddenly I had insurance sign up information on my desk the next day. Now, I have to pay for insurance from July, though I did not sign up for it until the end of July. A girl who started the same day as me had to do the same thing. Is this legal? Can they make me pay for a month I did not sign up for and was not made aware of? Sorry for the poor grammar.
