Open Question: cobra insurance?

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

I left my job several months ago on 5/8/07 because of personal problems with the owner of the business. I told my former employer I wanted to have cobra insurance after I left 2 weeks before my last day. It is now 4 months later and I have still not been enrolled in cobra insurance. They kept me on their insurance for free for 3 months after I was done even though I called them roughly 15 times to ask them to enroll me in cobra insurance during that time. At the end of july they cut my insurance off. They sent me a packet from a cobra administrator on 9-12-07, I called the administrator on 9-12 and 10-3, and the administrator claims they have not recieved anything from my former employer and cannot do anything until they do. I NEED INSURANCE. my former employer is now not answering or returning my phone calls. Any advice as to what I should do??

Open Question: Do you think it is fair for the clinic to charge a facility fee as well as a doctor visit fee?

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

A facility fee is for the room a patient sees the doctor in and for use of the waiting room chair. The billing clerk assured me that Medicare paid for most of it. It seems the medical community forgets that “cash cows” have $93.60 taken from their Social Security each month to put into the Medicare. Every year the cost goes up because of their outrageous prices.
