What is the name of your state? Colorado
On December 23rd, 2005 I took my son to the doctor only to learn that I had no medical coverage. I had been paying a premium of $78.80 bi-weekly out of my paychecks to the company for months. The insurance provider informed me that I wasn't a member of their plan. I ended up paying out of pocket for my son's care and prescripions. I notified the benefits department the following Tuesday only to be told that somehow my paperwork never made it over to the insurance provider. They did an emergecy enrollment that day, December 27th. I have since requested a refund for the premiums that was taken out of my paychecks for coverage that wasn't in place. I litterally had coverage for 4 days of 2005! Does my company have to refund me the money they charged me for insurance when I actually wasn't covered at all? I was told by a Human Resources representative that she doesn't believe I should be refunded the money. When I spoke to a representative in our benefits department she was quite upset that I was asking for my money back. Do I have a leg to stand on here?
