while still an employee the business cancelled my health insurance

[casm74]

What is the name of your state? pa, I went to the doctors on March 31st and used my employee health insurance card. I was terminated the following monday from that job. now 2 months later I get a letter saying I owe the doctors bill for that day over $1000, stating that my employer had cancelled my health insurance on the 29th of march. How can that be? I was still an employee that whole week and they even deducted my payment from that weeks paycheck? Am I still liable for that bill? Or is there something I can do? I never received anything from my employer offering me cobra insurance,,,,,and neither did I know I wasn't covered at the time. Please help me.

When you contacted your ex-employer for more inforamation or to talk about the incorrect termination of Health Insurance Coverage what did they say?

Based on the information you provided the employer should not have removed you from the policy untill your last day of employment.
