I have family health ins. through my employer. I had a new baby & requested (written) to have her added to the policy. 4 months later, I found out from the hospital & then the ins. co, that she was not addedto my policy until the new enrollment period (which I had filled out the papers for the whole family 1 1/2 months after her birth).I contacted my HR man & eventually his final answer was that she could not be added to the policy because that had to be done within 30 days of the birth. I said that I had requested that she be added & he stated "I don't recall that." I then contacted the main HR Dept for the company & all she could do was defend him by saying he didn't realize that he had to get the change form out! She did talk to the ins. co & explained the mix up, but that they were unable to make the exception of adding her late.
I have over 2 months of bills for her that I have to pay because of my employers error.
