In Reply to: Cobra Terminated my Insurance posted by Brenda Werner-Giordano on May 18, 2004 at 15:55:23:
: I am a temp employee and have no health benefits of my own. When my husband divorced me last April I went on Cobra through his employer. I have major health problems, but as long as I had Cobra, I at least had coverage. Last week I received a letter informing me that Cobra was terminated because they did not receive my payment. I sent out not one, but two payments to cover the months of April and May, but they haven't received them. My check was not cashed, and I have no proof that I sent them out. I would never allow my insurance to be paid late due to my health issues. I have offered to resend the check, wire money to them, etc. but they refuse to reverse the termination. Cobra must see a papertrail and I don't know what to do. I can't live without health insurance. Do you have any ideas?
Offer to spend the extra money to put a stop payment on the checks and see if they will accept that. They will usually accept it if you actually go the extra mile.
