It does not take rocket science to determine whether you have insurance or not. You buy the insurance from private companies, not the government. I think I have said that before. Of course it is verifiable, you have an insurance card just like you have always had. The millions who have gotten insurance through direct purchases through the healthcare marketplace and medicaid is completely verified.
Ahh, I'm starting to find out you may need to be a rocket scientist to determine if you have insurance. My 2014 insurance card still has not arrived. I went to the Dr.s office and they would not see me without my new insurance card. Called the insurance company, they are showing my insurance payment has been received and that I am verifiable. Went back to the Dr.s office, they pulled up my info on the computer, and it shows, "non-varifiable". I was sent packing and told no treatment for you.
Apparently you have the greatest insurance in the land, Scott. Cause there are lot of us are floating around in the cesspool of insurance purgatory. Thanks Barack...
Clay, it seems your issue is with your insurance company. Of course you can claim it's the president's fault and ACA if you had your insurance dropped and you had to purchase your own. Did your employer switch? It could be as much their fault too.
My question is why can't your doctor call your insurance company and validate your payment and card? I would think they would like to have your business?
Not that it is the best solution but can't your doctor see you without insurance? You wouldn't have met your out of pocket expenses yet anyway?
Our employer didn't switch anything but prescription plan, we have had an issue with our first fill, (it has something to do with switching prescription plan in conjunction with assistance we get with prescription fill) none of this has anything to do with ACA. I also have a staff member who hasn't received their new card yet, not ACA's fault either. I guess my point is, things happen at the first of the year ACA or not. So unless you provide more specifics, (not that you need to and don't expect it) it is easy to blame ACA, many people do, but usually it's unfounded. I'll take your word for it, hope it gets resolved soon.
