Hi there,

I opted for the COBRA conversion policy w. BCBS of FL, and my premium went from $180 to $250. No big deal. I filled out the forms, turned in two months worth of premiums, and waited...

Got off the phone w. BCBS FL, and they said my application was now in the "medical review department" and that my premiums may go up 100%. I saw nothing about that in the paperwork, the BCBS employee mentioned nothing about that, and BCBS has already cashed my check. Does this mean that they can jack me for more money? I thought my conversion could not be denied due to any pre-existing, so why is my account going through a "review" process?

HELP! :)
