In a recent article, we wrote about Dan Flanagan, a Colorado Vietnam vet
undergoing treatment for bone marrow cancer, whose health insurance was
canceled over a two cent shortage in a premium payment.
On January 26, after public outcry resulting largely from
Denver’s NEWS7‘s coverage on the issue, Ceridian,–the administrator for the
vet’s claim– asked the fiduciary, a former employer, to reinstate
the health coverage. Thankfully, the fiduciary agreed to the reinstatement.
The action taken by Ceridian and the fiduciary was the decent thing to
do, even though it may not have been legally required.
We are pleased to observe that large business organizations are not always
without compassion and concern for the individual in need.
A tip of the hat to Denver NEWS7 for its timely coverage of the story.
And the best of luck to Dan Flanagan and his family.
Kudos to Ceridian Cobra Insurance for Doing Whats Right
