I have a friend who works for a less than honest businessman. The BIQ (Businessman In Question) did not renew his employee insurance with a local health insurance company, but continued to take the premium out of his check every week for 2 months afterward! Now, he and his baby have been to the doctor, without coverage, and the medical bills are coming in. What can he do? I know this can not be legal, so who does he have to contact? Any help I can pass on would be appreciated! |
I'm not a lawyer, but I would call that robbery in the least. |

Simular incident happened at a place I used to work. Guy got married. Added wife to insurance. 7 months later wife gets knocked up. HR lost/failed to forward the insurance status changes. ( so he was never actually charged for the coverage...) Company paid for all delivery and pre/post natal care. Kid and wife were added to the policy at same time. Worst thing was the sum of the bills affected the profit sharing payout for everyone there. |

Just call the labor board already! I don't know what type of trouble the boss can get into but who cares!?!?!?! I knew a guy that got hurt at a job while working "under the table". The boss wouldn't pay his medical bills so he went to the labor board and filed a workers comp claim. Needless to say the boss got screw outa of huge $$$$. But so what?? It was HIS fault he didn't hire people correctly. So who cares what happens to the boss, protect yourself. SGatr15 |
