What action can be taken against an ex spouse who continues to use their ex's insurance card for dr visits?

In the divorce she was to quit using her husband's health insurance after one year. it was a year in April, and it is October now and he received a statement where she had used the health insurance this month. She's done this several times. I want to know what action can be taken against her if any. (This agreement is documented in the divorce papers.What action can be taken against an ex spouse who continues to use their ex's insurance card for dr visits?
how about calling the insurance company and removing her from the policy?What action can be taken against an ex spouse who continues to use their ex's insurance card for dr visits?
First of all, the divorce papers stipulate one year. Was the insurance company notified of that stipulation in the divorce papers? If this insurance card is through the ex husband's employer, then that person must notify their company to cancel the second card - simply put remove the ex wife from their insurance. The company may request a copy of the divorce papers to prove the request. Until that time, the insurance card is still active and if she does not pay the co-pays the ex husband will be liable for those payments. Good Luck
As soon as the divorce was final, it was the husband's responsibility to provide a copy of the divorce decree to either his employer's HR department if his insurance was employee based, or to his insurance company if he carries his own. He probably didn't do this, because she wouldn't be able to use the insurance after April if he had...they keep VERY close track of this. Send a copy of the divorce decree with a dispute letter to the insurance company. They will then go after HER for payment because she's using the insurance fraudulently....bad move!
remove her from the policy. If it's like mine and you can't change it until the 1st of the year then I guess he'll just have to suck it up for a few more months unless he wants to try to talk to the insurance company about the divorce decree.





He can also sue her for any money he's out of pocket.
Call up your insurance company, send them a copy of your divorce papers, have them contact the doctor's office and then the doctor's office will handle their problem with her.





If it is stated for one year... then one year is one year... if it was for COBRA, that is up to three years. She may think she has 3. Not too sure.
She should have been terminated. By your husband. Insurance company can't read minds and don't get a copy of the divorce decree. She's not going to stop if you don't make her. Get her off there, pronto. You may be able to get her taken off retro-actively so she'll get a bill once they find out they shouldn't have paid the claim.
My ex is doing this as well, there isn't much you can do. If I ask her about it it is harrassment, it is unbelievable. Once you get trapped in a bad situation it takes a long time and $$$ to get back to where you were.
The ex-husband should talk to his insurance company and provide them with the decree. The insurance company will then send out the appropriate termination paperwork. Done.
That is insurance fraud. Contact the insurance company. Explain the situation, and they will take it from there.
Report her to your insurance provider. File a police report for insurance fraud. Report fraud to all three credit bureaus.
All he needs to do is file papers directly with the insurance co or his HR dept %26amp; make the change to the insurance and remove her.



I have met this kind of problem before,here http://www.HealthInsuranceFreeTips.info/free-health-insurance.htm is the resource I found useful.



have the insurance compay change the account number, also get a lawyer


its against the law



And why has he not taken her off of his insurance? I'm just being logical here. If you don't want her using it, take her off the policy. It is well past April.
call the insurance company and have her taken off of the policy.
Cancel her insurance. It's that easy.
Why is she still covered? Remove her name from the insurance and she won't be able to use it! Simple as that!
its called insurance fraud and you dont have to pay
