I am so mad right now!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Apparently my employer did not take my health premiums out of my check for the last two payment cycles. So subsequently, I was dropped from my plan (which isn't even that good). I have called my benefits department at our HR and they always say "oh, it was a computer glitch, you should be back on in 24 hours..." blah blah blah. So in the meantime, my next check will have 3 payments withheld and it's still showing no coverage. I am leaving this company (not for this reason, but it's sure making me glad I'm doing it!!) and I'm trying to get the kids and all of us in for our dental/vision/physicals, etc while we still have coverage. Only every time we go to an appt they say "did you know they show you as not covered?" So I wasn't able to get my prescription filled at my last appt. Well, I could have, but I would've had to pay full price.

I am so frustrated. Tomorrow is supposed to be my last day, but I may just tell them where they can go.

ugh i am so sorry. :( health insurance is such a pain in the @ss. i HATE my health insurance... i complain to my (worthless) HR department on a regular basis. i am on birth control pills for medical reasons and they will not pay a dime. they will not pay a dime for my allergy meds either. i just absolutely hate them. i so understand how you are feeling.... good luck with getting it all worked out (and i would tell your HR dept exactly what you think of their insurance practices in hopes it will help out future employees).
