This was a few days AFTER they revoked the employees insurance benefits without notice or explanation.
There is somewhat of a saving grace here. Under federal law, these employees automatically qualify for a special enrollment period through the health insurance marketplace since they lost their employer-provided health insurance [1]. Since this happened during November, they can have coverage beginning December 1 as long as they sign up before the end of the month.

- ebbv 9y agoAnd how are they supposed to pay for it?
- uncletammy 9y agoTrue but it's hard to see the silver lining after being denied a prescription refill at the pharmacy and only finding out why when you turn up for work the following day.
- bkanber 9y agoIf you are denied a prescription refill because of an insurance lapse, you can get reimbursed for your out-of-pocket expense once you have insurance again. It's true that some people may not be able to pony up $100 for a refill, but if you do, you'll get reimbursed.
