Re: OMG -Panic! Missed insurance premium...now coverage terminated!

Thanks for the detailed info in your thread, Jessica. Hopefully it is provides a heads up to help everyone work at staying ahead of these problems.

Being out-of-state for crisis/treatments for more than a couple of weeks can get complicated. A friend and I had always been each other's back-up in dealing with the mail, but by chance both of us were diagnosed with different health problems at the same time and were repeatedly hundreds of miles away from home getting medical treatment, dealing with all the unexpected additional costs on top of the delays in dealing with the mail. Paying more in advance whenever leaving is tough, but it can make all the difference.

I've got my fingers crossed for you,

A.A.
