Data Centers sometimes can't find your data, so it's good to have a phone & talk to a human at times.

I finally signed up for civlian health coverage, effective 1/1/2018.

It will supplement my VA & Medicare coverage.

In early December I gave all my info to the Ins company

in a 45 minute interview.

Two big questions were,

1) Did I have prescription Drug coverage from 2011 through 2017?

I did, with the VA. Gave them my VA ID # & policy #.

I got a letter from the Insrurer telling me that they had no record of me having

drug coverage & therefore I would be charged a penalty on my

monthly premium for drug coverage for as long as I maintained the coverage!

Question # 2 was,

How do I want to be billed?

I said monthly & I would like to pay electronically.

I called them today & told them I have not received a bill

for the first premium due on Jan 1.

They checked their Invoice System & found that I am

not in their billing system.

Both issues were resolved today with a phone call to a Human!
