Texas Health Insurance

Pennsylvania’s attorney general has filed suit against a Texas company for collecting employee contributions for health coverage but never paying premiums.

The PA AG Tom Corbett announced that his office has filed a lawsuit against Turbine Airfoil Designs. A statement released by Corbett explains the reason for the lawsuit. “We have dozens of complaints from TAD employees who are now facing thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills simply because they tried to use the health care benefits they were promised… Company officials knew, or should have known, that non-payment of health insurance premiums would leave workers vulnerable, but failed to warn their employees or take steps to prevent a health disaster from striking these families.”

The lawsuit claims the company began to fall behind on premium payments to Capital Blue Cross in August 2008. In addition, a payment plan established between the insurer and TAD was never completed, eventually resulting in the cancellation of coverage.
