What is the name of your state? Florida
My wife was layed off from her job. As part of her severance she was given 6 months of medical insurance paid. She was pregnant with pur first child and gave birth about 3 weeks before the insurance was to be cancelled. Everyone involved excluding the hospital was paid. The hospital has now put the debt on our credit reports. when we spoke with aetna the informed us that the hospital had not filled out a pre certification and so the claim was denied. Then my wife's formal employer cancelled the policy and had aetna retroactively cancell the policy back 3 months. So when the hospital agian filed the claim this time with the pre certification, it was denied agian because we did not have insurance. Is it legal for her formal employer to retro act the cancellation? Should the hospital be liable since they did not comply with the rules of the insurance in time? Should the ins. company be held liable no mattr what since it is reasonable to assume that she was going to give birth long before they new about the layoff and cancelation of policy?
