evelynvsg 136 Posted July 6, 2012 So after all the hard work I had to do to get an approval, my lovely husband gets fired from Fedex yesterday. Therefore, we also lost our health insurance as of today. :( :( He was told he could get COBRA and pay the full premium....which is fine, the problem is....I will have to resubmit my claim and get an approval. I don't think im that lucky. Soo sad...I jus want to cry and never get out my bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra just carries on with no loss in coverage, you just become responsible for the premium each month. I would check into that if you have not already. I am sorry to hear this. 1 evelynvsg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandymarie81 108 Posted July 6, 2012 It should continue on as the same insurance carrier which means there should not be a need to resubmit anything. I did insurance for several years and once the terminated employee accepted COBRA it was almost as if they were still an employee with the levels of coverage that they got. 2 evelynvsg and former_vbg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thetruedream 54 Posted July 6, 2012 The same thing happened to me I got injured at my job and got fired. I was soo close I had everything done just needed to send the papers to the insurance for approval. And that's when I got fired. I was so angry and sad at the same time I didn't know what to do. So after a couple of month later I decided to go to mx and do mysurgery. I'm still injured still fighting my case with lawyers. But I got my date for surgery is next month. I decided nothing was stopping me to get healthy.surgery date is August 9 with Dr. Almanza . Best wishes to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jlewis229 191 Posted July 7, 2012 It should continue without an lapse in coverage. Mine did when I was let go when the company I worked for closed. I am really sorry about your situation though. But double check bc I think you should be ok! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MamaMelly 97 Posted July 7, 2012 Oh i'm very sorry to hear this! Hopefully, with the COBRA you can just go as planned! As others said, with no lapse in coverage, you shouldn't have to repeat anything. Good luck and keep us posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatiniowa 10 Posted July 7, 2012 Let us know what happens, I like happy endings! As for jobs assuming your husband was not white collar, North Dakota is looking for oil workers. My friends little brother has no degree and works 12 hrs a day 7 days a week for 3 weeks (company runs 2 12 hr shifts daily) then comes home to his family for 3 weeks. Makes 80 grand a year, and when he is away will be to tired to screw around on ya. Just putting ideas out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
