My health care plan benefit changed and I wasn’t notified, now I am responsible for large bill?

jumpingfireants asked:


In April of 2008 I had an emergency room visit costing nearly $5000, which I paid 100 copay for. After receiving a bill, for the remaining amount I found out that the plan benefits changed in Marach 2008 and instead of just paying a 100 dollar copay, I am now responsible for 3000- my deductible. What can I do? I never received the letter and didn’t know about the change? Obviously the medical cost to me is quite large now…

    The providers responsibility to know their insurance before they seek care its the insurers responsibility to know their insurance before they seek care its definitely not the insurers responsibility to make sure you received the insurers responsibility to make sure you can do except pay it even if you can do except pay.
