Lost Coverage

[IESucks]

Yeah I’ve been for over a month. Manager said the insurance coverage should have kicked in again after I came back to work and that I wouldn’t be covered for just that one week I didn’t work. I’ll have to call Monday and make sure.

Yes, the first day you work will start insurance again

My hospital bill was paid in full.

Ummm just wait. Bills coming

Not necessarily hospitals will usually check your coverage before performing any procedure and if you don't have coverage they will ask for a down payment.

Incorrect, the system shows she has coverage but updates weekly as contributions are made by ups.No contribution no insurance. No hours for a week no contribution. Takes a month or so for insurance to figure it out . Been there, I know from experience

I understand this, but if they called and she had coverage at the time it's on them. Been there also. Besides just pay the COBRA if there are issues it's going to be a lot cheaper.

The first week I was out I worked Monday and had the surgery on Tuesday. So it was only one week (2nd week) that I didn’t work. Insurance was billed that first week.

No sir, incorrect. You couldn't be more wrong. Except paying cobra for that one week

Excellent! You had coverage. If you had no med bills the second week you have nothing to worry about. The first day you came back in the third week your coverage began again for that week

That’s what I needed to know. I’ll call teamcare Monday to confirm, I’m assuming I just received an automated letter. What worried me was that it didn’t say my insurance would kick back in, it said I was eligible for cobra from now until 2020.

Yes, your basic form letter. You are perfectly fine. Enjoy your Sunday with no worries.

Years and years ago I called teamcare for the exact same reason.

Ok whatever bud.

Last month I was out for two weeks for a non work related surgery, both my center manager and my shop steward said I didn’t need to worry about not getting my one day a week in payroll to keep my health benefits. Just got the letter today from Central States saying my insurance coverage has been terminated and given an application for cobra. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Make sure you get your one day a week, next time.

Hope this helps.

If you had surgery, you obviously had a "serious health condition". Simply apply for FMLA and your health insurance is covered. This isn't rocket science.

Nope. Not whatever bud. Just the facts

Ok whatever if you say so.

No it's not. And FMLA has specific guidelines not applicable here.

Ok whatever if you say so.

Poor thing. You tried but guessing doesn't help. Move on to offer uninformed opinions elsewhere. Lmao
