What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? MO
My husband works for a small company that provided health insurance for he and his family (myself and two children). They've been habitually paying the premiums late, so often claims would have to be re-sent through. I spoke with the insurance company last nov, they said my insurance would never be canceled because of late payment by the employer. Well, it appears that the status on our coverage is now showing as terminated. It appears to be effective back to June 1st, so about two months worth of claims. My husband is going to check with his employer to see if it was intentionally cancelled or just two months past due. My question is, what recourse, if any, do we have if they have cancelled our insurance coverage without any notice? (I think they may be too small for us to qualify for COBRA) I have a significant medical history, and was actually still in an 18 month pre-existing period (ending the end of this month). I am concerned for what this may do to my insurability having a lapse in coverage, etc?? Not to mention claims submitted in the past two months.
Thank you for your help!
