So my husband signed us up for his employee health insurance, since I just started a new job and my health benefits don't kick in until October. He sent the paperwork in yesterday, and they got back to him today saying that he would be charged the monthly premium for July. The month that has FOUR DAYS LEFT in it. So we are out almost $700 for 4 days coverage. When he questioned this scenario they said its “standard procedure” but were unable to provide documentation to support that statement. I'm so mad. This is fucking ridiculous. Because it's not like we can just skip it, we have a toddler who we need to get vaccinated against covid and without insurance the cost is several hundred dollars. Because the walk in clinics around here won't vaccinate under 2 years for covid, she HAS to go to a pediatrician for it. Fuck this country, fuck the Healthcare system, and FUCK the people who make asinine rules to fuck us all over in the name of “standard procedure.”
