The Department of Financial Services issued an important consumer warning today about a bogus health insurance policy.
More than 1800 Floridians bought these policies, thinking they had health insurance. Turns out they didn't have coverage at all!
This puts them in an awful situation. Not only do they now have to pay the bills, they also have been uninsured for months...possibly years! That means when they go to buy new policies, the new company may say because they didn't have continuous coverage, they won't cover some of their "pre-existing" conditions.
We'll have the story of one man who bought this plan tonight at 5. You can also read the investigation from our CBS affiliate in Orlando by clicking here.
Reporters have a slogan, "If your momma says she loves you, check it out." Make sure you check out any and all people you do business with--especially those you trust with your health! You can click here for a link to checking out insurance companies in the state of Florida.
