Whats Going on with Humana One ?

You've discussed your situation before. Most of the time I don't recommend that people pursue legal action. Actually, about 98% of the time.

I believe based on what you've written you could fall in the 2% where, if I were in your shoes, I'd take it legal.

Problem is....how much is representation going to cost vs your award? While I was never directly in your position. My Blue Cross checks suddenly stopped coming. It wasn't a lot so I ignored it at first. But then it started to add up to thousands in commissions.

The problem? A snag with their E-app where it wasn't recording me as agent of record. At first, they simply wanted the list of clients I hadn't been paid on. I gave 'em that. Then all of a sudden that wasn't good enough and they wanted a letter from each client stating I was their agent.

My response was a letter from an attorney basically saying "pay the commissions or go to court." They paid. I doubt it'll be as simple in your case.

CF? Somehow that would not surprise me one bit...

In October, HUMANA announced that it will increase premiums 27.8% on it's HumanaOne individual plans in Illinois. This comes right on the heels of a 18% increase, just 6 months prior.

In Illinois the state can't deny an increase. But, if the request is over 10%, it is referred to HHS. I'm not sure what happens then. But it looks like a lot of +10% Illinois requests from various companies have been pending for months, according to the IL Dept of Insurance website. They can't be denied, but the increases can't be implemented until the State approves them. So these companies just keep losing $$$ as claim costs keep rising. I think Humana would be better off asking for a 9.9% increase every 4 months, to stay under radar beam.

Health insurance execs are collectively pulling their hair out after the Supreme Court ruling followed by Obama's re-election. Now we have HHS sadistically making insurance companies "walk the plank" just to see how far they'll go before jumping ship.
