Tuesday - night
Just got home 25 minutes ago, it's 8:00 pm. I got to the plant this morning at 9:00 am and didn't leave until 5:00 pm. Yup, they had an issue with their lines being clogged and it took them all day long to resolve it.
Couple that with sitting in a truck that doesn't have AC.
Add to that the ongoing bs with the healthcare chaos. Today it reached a head for me. I was informed that CHRISTUS - the insurance provider I picked and was paying for - has refused to reinstate me. Bavvy is the incompetent company that mishandled my funds and didn't pay the premiums and now I have to pay for it. They are still telling my company today that they can't figure out what happened....
About an hour ago, I informed my manager that I will be getting temporary insurance and the company will pay for it. Note that I didn't ask or make request, no no no. This has been going on far too long and now it's just going to happen and if they don't pay it, I'll file a lawsuit in local small claims court and they can send a lawyer over here to defend the indefensible.
But now, I got into my email and found an email from these Bavvy idiots "graciously" offering me temporary health insurance until they can resolve this issue. Well, how they are going to get me reinstated when CHRISTUS has flatly stated they won't?
Well, screw them, but thank AI for seriously vital information on how to get it reinstated. I actually have discussions with AI on Google about things I need more information about and it has no problem giving it's version of reality, which is copied and pasted below:
- The Bypassed Window: Because you are past 60 days, you normally can't enroll. However, a third-party error qualifies you for an Exceptional Circumstances Special Enrollment Period.
- Action: Call HealthCare.gov at 1-800-318-2596. Explain that Bavvy's systemic failure locked you out of your plan and your standard enrollment windows.
- The Goal: Once they manually grant the exception, choose a new CHRISTUS Health Plan option right on the marketplace exchange so you can keep using your local doctors and facilities.
