Just got a bill today for 230 dollars from the dentist. The dentist checked to make sure I had insurance BEFORE they did the cleaning (and good god 230 bucks for a cleaning seems like a lot to me, but about half that was for Xrays). I went to the dentist because the two managers that fired me TOLD me I had two weeks from the date of my LAST check before my benefits ran out. Whoops, they were mistaken. Guess this is another case of "Well, they SHOULDN'T have told you that, so we are in no way responsible with what you do with that information". Called the dental insurance, they said my coverage was terminated on the 13th, even though I was paying dental insurance premiums up until my LAST check (which was the 29th, I went to the dentist on the 27th). They can't do a thing about it, call the Benefits deptartment at the company.
"I am deeply sorry you were minsinformed by your managar, but you were terminated on the 12th, and that is when your benefits run out".
I love this toejam.
