Hey Gep, 2 things.
1) if that medical appointment was made using the companies health plan they may still have to cover it considering it was made before notifying you of the layoff. They might also be legally in trouble because it could be viewed that you are being let go due to the medical expense.
Huh. Would that only apply to some kind of preferred provider thing, though? What I'll be having to do is pay up front, then bill my insurance for reimbursement. I'm not clear how that would apply. Do you know how I could find out more about how that might work?
I did just find out that there's a federal stimulus package that pays up to 65% of COBRA plan costs if one meets certain criteria (which I do), so there may be hope yet.
2) Most apartment complexes have clauses in the lease that let you out of the contract if you have to move more than 150 miles for a job.
Good to know. Thanks.
