Andrea Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I know others can relate and laugh at themselves and with me at this. For whatever reason, I went with a HMO. After my mom got sick, I was like why did I do that to save some money, I want a PPO in case I ever need a multitude of drs. Well at first I was told I cannot change until Oct. I JUST found out that open enrollment for Blue Cross will be in April!!! And Affleck is coming about other insurance options! And I was squealing with excitement over this good news b/c I want good coverage. I was telling my office manager how happy I was about it. And somenoe asked me what I was so happy abuot and I said "April is open enrollment, we can change our plans!" My secretary said "I know why you are excited, you are signing up for cancer". I said "well I don't want to sign up for cancer, but in case of" I can guarantee that most people would find my happy reaction absolutey insane. However, I bet a lot of you can understand where I am coming from and don't think I am crazy :):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I betcha something like that happened to her, that she went through the same thought process with someone close to her. It makes sense...... That's why last year I was pricing the long term federal disability insurance, which is expensive if you don't put the five year cap on it.

karen335 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Andrea, I bought supplimental CA insurance in Dec. 2003. Had a two month waiting period before I could use it or file a claim. This was not a pre-existing condition, but they checked it out first before they would accept my claim. I was dx'd March 2003. Claim filed in April 2003. Never had a clue I would need this insurance. Hubby and I are both covered. My premium is now paid through the insurance policy. We just never know... Blessings, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
