HSA - Company Changed and No Announcement Made?
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009
In the Kitchen asked:
For months my employer has talked about switching to a Health Savings Account form of insurance. Last week a new card came in the mail showing the plan has been switched as of a few weeks ago. No announcement has been made from the HR department…we weren’t given any options to opt-out or anything. The deductible is $3000. Is this the normal procedure for switching plans? I just got meds …a couple of days before the card came…and made the co-pay under the old plan as instructed by the pharmacy. Now what?
Our health card says Health Savings Accounts (PPO).

It seems unfair to have to pay for an expensive med if we weren’t told the price the day we picked it up and no one told us that plan had changed.
Apparently there are no more co-pays.
