The hospital bills are hitting Larry Basichs mailbox.
That would be OK if Basich had health insurance. But he doesnt.
Thing is, he should be covered. Basich, 62, bought a plan through the states Nevada Health Link insurance exchange in the fall. Hes been paying monthly premiums since November.
Yet the Las Vegan is stranded in a no-mans-land where no carrier claims him, and his tab is mounting: Basich owes $407,000 for care received in January and February, when his policy was supposed to be in effect. Instead, hes covered only for March and beyond.
Basich has begged for weeks for help from the exchange and its contractor, Xerox. But Basichs insurance broker said Xerox seems more interested in lawyering up and covering its hide than in working out Basichs problems. Nor is Basich the only client facing plan-selection errors through the exchange, she added.
Xerox, meanwhile, said its working every day to fix Basichs problem, and its legal counsel is routine.
