So I made one appointment for the midwife on the 16th (tomorrow) and another for an ultrasound on the 1st. When making the appointment they asked for all of my health insurance info and they said they would give it to billing. Now, as soon as I found out I was pregnant I made sure my husband got me health insurance (it's through his work) and we have been paying since January 1st.
I got a call after saying that I am not under the insurance and I will be paying $1,600 at the appointment if I don't get it figured out. So for days we have been trying to figure out why I'm not under his insurance since we just payed an arm and a leg for it at the beginning of the month. All day I've been on the phone trying to figure things out and I'm so aggravated.
Harvard Pilgrim (where the insurance is from) told me that I need to contact his employer. Uhh.. you're providing the insurance? Why can't YOU figure it out? I feel like I'm not going to be able to have my appointment tomorrow which would be so disappointing. The reason why I'm so mad is because I'm paying for it, so I should be able to use it!!!
Thanks for letting me vent

We just got married so he could add me. He's been talking to the HR person about it the whole time and they keep saying that it should be working. Who knows...
Ok, so you did have a qualifying event where you could be added. Hopefully the insurance company is just slacking and hasn't updated their system yet.
