i never password protected anything but i changed stuff on my x's policy all the time for my dd...nothing illegal about that, all she has to do is claim or send in papers proving who she is and they cannot stop her.

as far as setting up password info i would call them back and ask them what documents do you need to submit to prove that you are the policy holder and would like the call pulled number traced and press what ever legal charges you can on the caller (setting up the password i would think should be illegal)

the insurance company shouldn't have given them YOUR info, however if she knows YOURS theres no way they would've known it wasnt you.

reasons like this i WILL not sign my skids on my insurance. bm is crazy enough to do shit like that....too much of a headache

Personally I would drop him from my insurance and had DH pick him up or if BM is solely responsible for unpaid medical (which I highly doubt it), I would get a shitty plan.

I didn't even know I had the ability to do this as a CP! I usually can call about my DD's information and get only general information. They won't go into any specifics.

And didn't the insurance company tell you that you couldn't put a password on just your information? Or do I have the posts confused?

Wow, that is truly amazing. I know that BM put the kids into counseling and kept it from DH. Then we got the mental health evaluation slip. DH called and asked, and she blew a gasket, asked how he found out that he wasn't supposed to know it was the only way the kids would agree to go to counseling is if he didn't know. WTF????? He called his benefits rep the next day who said that he was entitled to know everything that hit his benefit package.

I would love to know if indeed a non dependent could block the policy holder from information.

I'm also surprised that state aid would cover your skid since there is already insurance coverage.

Welcome to my line of work.

1) talk to your HR department, alert them that someone has fraudulently accessed your (their) policy and has blocked you the policy holder from accessing your account.

2) Call the insurance company and ask for their fraud department, report the same thing, they will request a certified letter from you and your employer that you are the only one that should have access to the account and information on it. You want the account CLOSED, and new cards issued for a completely new account. They can do this, they will not want to, but they can. As soon as you get the new cards, YOU password protect it.

3) Contact your state insurance board and do the exact same thing.

Your employer will care, as they pay a far larger portion of the premium for that policy than you do. Additionally, every fraudulent claim that (potentially) is filed will increase their future premiums exponentially. The insurance company will care, once it is proven that you ARE the policy holder, not the person that put the password on the account, insurance commissioner will not give a sh*t, however, imagine the fear striking BM's heart when she "finds out" through casual conversation with your DH that you involved a state agency, which could potientially (in her mind) lead to her arrest.

That is why i refuse to put SSs on my insurance at work. BM agreed to cover the insurance on her end with xxx amount of CS paid a couple years ago.

Over the last year she has been B*tchin about it, and saying that DH is supposed to be responsible and since his company dosent offer benefits wanted me to put them on my insurace here, NO WAY! I dont want her to have any access or information of mine.

sorry but you agreed to xx amount of CS WITH covering the medical insurance.

If the person who put the PW protection on YOUR insurance account now has access to confidential medical information for YOUR family I would eat that idiot’s ass up with every HIPPA related consequence I could identify.

Since it is of little mystery who did it I would eat BM alive over this one. You have already engaged HR on this which is the right way to go IMHO.

I think the recommendations to file Identity Theft Charges are very interesting and that you should absolutely file complaints with the insurance company including their fraud department, the State Department of Insurance, your companies Benefits Department.

BM thinks her little PW stunt on your account was cleaver and a PITA? :? Show her what a pain in the ass really is. Let her deal with the Feds (Hippa), the State (Insurance Fraud), the Local Police (Identity Theft), hang her manipulative ass out to dry. }:)

IMHO since it is YOUR policy/benefit that YOU carry on YOUR Skid that it is BM who should have no access to the information. There is personal information that is required when an employee accesses insurance benefits provided by an employer that is none of BMs business.

She gets an insurance card for the kid, access to the Doc records, and THAT IS IT. She should have ZERO access to the insurance company records or any other information on YOUR Policy. If she wants any other insurance related information she should call YOU for it. You provide it at your will and convenience.

We nailed SpermGrandMa on some similar stuff. They took our son (my SS-18) to the ER to get a rusty fish hook removed from his leg. SpermGrandMa signed my wife's name as the responsible party on the bill.... and the hospital actually billed us for the visit. We were 1500 miles away. No call from the hospital, no call from the SpermGrandHag, nothing. NO F-IN WAY did we let that shit slide. We had our lawyer bombard her with letters, threatened the Hospital with a law suit, had the insurance company stop payment on all services for that ER visit and had the hospital bill SpermGrandMa. We did allow the insurance to pay the covered part of the ER visit but forced SpermGrandHag to pay everything else. She called and whined and bitched and moaned about how broke she was and could not afford it. We told her to get the money from her worthless POS son (the SpermIdiot) and that when he sent us the bills (we were obligated to pay half of uncovered med expenses per the CO) we would deduct it from the $6K he owed us that he has never paid for his half of my SS's uncovered medical expenses.

I wish we had thought of identity theft. If we had I would have had the toothless SpermGrandHag rotting in jail.

I would own BMs ass if I was you. Give her the very clear message that you will not be trifled with and that what you provide for YOUR family, including YOUR Skid, is none of her concern, business and that her only options are to thank you profusly and regularly for covering her spawn on your police or to STFU and stay under her rock.

Grrrr!!!!!

I am turning purple just writing this.

These people have no redeeming value or qualities. Too bad we can't just turn them in to fertilizer. At least that way they are doing something useful.

When these idiots cause this kind of PITA to the people who are providing for their children what they are too inept and worthless to provide it just pisses me off to no end when they do this kind of crap.

Grrrr!!!!
