I was on COBRA from March-Oct.2004. I paid my premuims on time through the end of Sept. My husband got a medical plan through his employment effective June 1. He included me on his plan. However, his plan stated it is not a "Major Medical Plan but limited illness & accident coverage." It did not offer what my insurance did not did it cover pre-existing. Therefore, I continued to pay my premiums & keep my medical appointments in good faith. My COBRA administrator, when I informed them of the other coverage, terminated my COBRA coverage. They then returned my premiums in October for June-Sept. and have requested refunds from the providers they had paid during that time frame. Can they do that?
