Contact 2 - Health Insurance

A Metro East woman emailed Contact 2 with a big problem: Lindy Evans says her employer withheld money for health insurance, but it never paid its portion of the premium. However, Lindy says her employer never told her the policy was dropped, so she continued using her insurance card for medical procedures. Months later, Lindy got a surprise $12,000 bill from her insurance company for services that weren't covered because she wasn't actually a policy holder.

A St. Louis University Law Professor says Lindy's situation is not all that uncommon, especially for employees who work for small businesses. The professor recommends that Lindy sue her former employer in state court.
