Default how can insurance companies just do things like this!!!

so my surgeons office called and said... my insurance is gonna be terminated as of dec. 31st.
WHATTT???
well it wasnt a big deal i just need to prove that im a full time student which isn't difficult. but WTF...they never even sent anything asking for validation of my full time status.
i guess im just annoyed...

on a better note i've just been asked to start working with a state farm insurance agent as part time until after i graduate and then they would like me to get my license to sell insurance. =)

I had a similar thing happen, they change IPA's frequently if it's an HMO. Ask your surgeon if they still take the insurance through another group. Good luck with the insurance, Janie
