I'm on hold with our health insurance company because CVS just called me to tell me they were filling an Rx for me and when they ran the insurance information it said I wasn't covered. That's...odd.

This feels just like being back at my old job, where they routinely forgot to pay the premiums and our coverage was dropped.

When I called Humana, the recording said there was a very high volume of calls, so I'm wondering if this is a glitch on their end, and everyone is calling to find out why they're suddenly not covered.

First of the year, everyone's plans have changed somehow. After a year and a half of no prescription co-pays, I'm now paying them again. I'm afraid to ask what changed for fear they'll say "What? You missed a year and a half of co-pays? Here's the bill."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My insurance plan was cancelled at the end of the year. (Not my policy--the whole plan). BCBS said they were going to automatically sign me up for a new plan.

I should probably look into that and see what it is.

The Humana lady said both of our policies (Tim's and mine) were terminated November 30. But that can't be right -- we've had doctor appointments and prescriptions filled since then. In fact, in December, Humana approved Tim's physical therapy. So (to state the obvious) something is weird.

At this point I have to punt it to Tim so he can check at work and see what's going on.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

God, I hate those conversations.

It has to be a Humana glitch. There's no way our coverage ended on November 30, because I just checked my records, and they approved Tim's PT on December 17. They wouldn't approve PT (or anything) for someone who isn't covered. Get it straight, Humana!

The HR person at Tim's work checked the bank records first, and the January payment cleared, so Humana needs to get their shit together. Sheesh.

Hey, a friend who's my size just told me she's downsizing her closet and I can have her 3 (gorgeous) corsets if I want them. So that makes up for the insurance clusterfuck somewhat.

I'm also looking at 5Ks to do this spring, and I'm torn between the Bockfest 5K (which is a literal beer run [the beer is at the end, though]) and the Heart Mini Marathon's 5K, which benefits the American Heart Association (because, you know, my dad's entire family and whatnot). They're 8 days apart, and I know I can't do 2 that close together.

I'll probably do the Heart Mini, because I really should support the American Heart Association. But the medal for the Bockfest 5K is a bottle opener!

Donald Trump apparently trash-talked Samuel L. Jackson on Twitter.

I have so many feelings about this.

Considering the speed with which insurance management moves, I wouldn't be surprised if they approved things before realizing the coverage had ended.
