Health Insurance ''run around''
My husband was eligable for health insurance through
is employer after 6 months but his employer told him 1
year. He waited for the 1 year and submitted his
application to his employer. Then the employer told
him that the HMO company would not accept new
enrollment untill January.We checked with the HMO
provider and they told us as soon as the employer
submits the application to them they will process it.
After confronting the employer about what the HMO said
he then told my husband that is because he goes
through the Chamber of Comerce too. Now my husband has
been employed with thhis company for well over a year
and still no healt coverage. I recently got very ill
and was in the hospital. I will be having surgery this
month and the medical bills are sky high. The bottom
line is that we should have been covered by the health
insurance by now and instead we are paying outrageous
bills that we cannot afford. I am wondering if we have
a case agai

Re: Health Insurance ''run around''
If your husband was eligible for coverage after 6 months and the employer caused a delay in coverage which adversely affected him or you, you may well have a cause of action against the employer.
