I enrolled a vet into a Med Advantage plan in Dec., 2011. He received a letter from UHC requestiong evidence that he had credible coverage which he did have (he ignored the letter). He called me in March, 2012 saying he'd received a penalty letter and owed $62. I called UHC who told me he would have to get a letter from the VA saying he had credible coverage I told the client this. In July, 2012 he called to say he now owed $145. He hadn't followed through with my instructions. This time when I spoke to UHC, I was told to have the client contact VA admin and that a verbal attestation was all they needed from the VA.
I gave the client those instructions. Forward ahead to to June , 2013. The state Insurance division called me saying that the client was filing a claim against me! The 1st claim against me in 30+ yrs. I had documented everything and explained that to the investigator.. The client now owes $330. Last week,I met with the client to have him sign off on the VA authorization to release the credible coverage document .I will forward this to UHC.. Hopefully, the late penalty fee can be waived once they receive the document. The client says he will not pay the penalty. Will he still be liable even though he's had the VA coverage since 2002? Thx.
