THE MARKETPLACE (part 3/?)
Mar. 14th, 2014 10:01 am1. I have thrown myself on the mercy of my parents’ health insurance broker. It feels a lot like I have failed some test of adulthood. He advice so far: be patient.
2. I have paid money. I am relatively confident (95%?) that I have correctly paid the premium for the plan I applied for over the phone.
3. The good news: I paid online, so that negated the need to call Anthem again. Great rejoicing was had at this news!
4. The bad news: My online profile is still trapped in “identify verification” hell. I have no idea what this means. No one else seems to either, but there is a general sentiment that it is probably bad.
5. [As far as I can tell, the government is happy to sign you up and take your money regardless of whether or not you've actually completed all the verification steps. I'm just concerned hugely freaked out that if I ever try to use this insurance, the verification saga will come crashing back down like the Sword of Damocles.]
