What is the name of your state? NJ
I am currently on long term disability. I received a bill directly from my insurance comapny on 6/22/05 requesting payment be received by 7/1/05. The date of the statement was 6/10/05. I called the benefits center and spoke with a womany on 6/24/05. I told her that the statment was not sent out on 6/10/05 and she agreed and stated it was sent around 6/15/05. I told her I would be mailing the payment within the next few days but was unsure if it would reach them on time. I asked if it would be and issue and was told no. I went to the doctor yesterday 7/20/05 and recieved a call from the dr. today that my coverage was terminted. I called the benefits line and spoke with the same woman who remebered me and said it could probably be reinstated, but was not sure. Is it possible for them to terminate my insurance for not paying promptly, when I was only given about 1 week to pay the bill? Also, does it make a difference that I spoke with a rep and was given the ok? Please help
