What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania.
My husband was let go from his job on Aug. 11. He was told that health insurance would continue through the end of the month. As of Sept. 1 we switched to my employer health insurance. Now we have just found out that his employer retroactively canceled his health insurance effective July 31, not Aug. 31. The insurance company is refusing to pay for doctor visits and procedures during August -- of which there were many. I am pregnant and had several OB appointments, ultrasounds, screenings and an amniocentisus. Most of these were before Aug. 11.
The insurance company says they cannot change the date of termination of coverage, only the employer can.
Is this legal? What recourse do we have?
