Insurance misrepresentation (fraud?) by employer to employee?
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!
Is this fraud? What should she do?
Ok.
My boyfriends mom is having a major back surgury done in February. She had a person donate $10,000 to her for the expenses. She has all the money that has been donated and earned in a medical account, with her friend who is also on the account. She will be out of town for about 2 to 3 weeks, and she decided that it might be useful for her to have a laptop for research and bill paying. She used some of her medical money for this. Her friend called her in hysterics telling her that it was fraud and that she had to send it back or else she would take herself off the medical account and she wouldn’t go with her.
Is buying the computer really fraud? She’s willing to send it back, if she’s going to get in trouble, but not just because her friend says she has to. She has other people to go with her, and that she can put on the account.
Thanks

As I said, She is willing to send the computer back, and she didn’t know that she wasn’t supposed to buy the laptop with that money, because it was donated by all family, but she was just wondering if that was just her friend being dumb, or if she was right. She will send the computer back immediately.
Sorry guys!
the donations were made to cover ALL costs, not just medical bills. that’s why she didn’t know it would be fraud
Is this Health insurance fraud?
ok, first of all I work for a doctors office as a receptionist. a while ago I was on myspace looking at one of my friend’s profile, and you know how one profile leads, to another, and so on. Well, I see one of my patient’s profile ‘jane doe” and i notice that she has a different name, then i realize that she has a twin sister but a fatter version claims to be “janice doe”
point is…i think my patient “jane doe” is using her obese twin sister;s (janice doe) insurance!!
