Insurance Misrepresentation (Fraud?) by Employer to Employee?

medical billing fraud
f1Girlie asked:

How or where can I find answer to questions about possible insurance misrepresentatin or fraud by an employer?
I have discovered that I wasn’t covered by medical insurance when I was supposed to be by my employer. Money was taken out of my check weekly to cover the premiums, I had been insured for over a year with this employer at the time and I didn’t recive any notice of a lapse in coverage. I realised after receiving unpaid bills from my doctor’s offices for annual check-ups, that my employer had let our policy lapse. My employer immediately cut me a check to cover the bills and my insurance premiums were paid. From what I can figure, I was not covered and unaware of it for 2 months. That was over a year ago, and now I think it has happened again. I also think my employer is going to drop our insurance policies altogether and I was wondering how much advanced notice they are required to give?
I live and work in Missouri and am very worried about what my rights to coverage are!
