The group Lar was working for terminated all of their contractors at the end of June, and we got maybe three business days notice that it was happening. Our healthcare coverage ended then, but on Lar's last time contracting through this company, we got a month's grace on converting over to COBRA. The process of ending the coverage is automated to align with the end of the contract, but they overwrote the info so we paid it out of the last check with the company.
This time due to the short notice -- along with the standard COVID stuff and the fourth of July holiday -- coverage ended on the 30th and we only found out because I renewed my prescriptions today and went to my dentist appointment. We've being e-mailed versions of the forms we have to fill out, so we should have everything straightened out today or tomorrow. But it also means we will most likely have to pay out of pocket for the stuff I did today, and get it all reimbursed once we can confirm that we are set up for COBRA, which should be retro to the first of the month.
it's annoying, and it makes me anxious, and that is pretty much par for the course.
