Also, you may be able to go directly to the insurance company's website to get a user account for your husband and print a card from there. <br /><br />I am being more careful with how I consider injuries now that my closest definitely-covered urgent care is 30-45 minutes away rather than 10. I've never been without, though, so I can't speak to that.. but probably the same sort of thing. Still ride, but do more self-eval and waiting rather than going in proactively.Figurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344675725634191104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-77420946284115431642016-02-02T16:23:09.508-05:002016-02-02T16:23:09.508-05:00I went without insurance from November 2013 (when ...I went without insurance from November 2013 (when I quit my job) until May 2015 (when I got married). I continued to ride normally, but I did have thoughts in the back of my mind about what would happen should I be seriously injured.

I do HR and I provide these to new employees/employees who lost their cards. If he works for a large company, there may be an online portal he can log into to get this information. Either way, he can get that for you until your mailed ones arrive. And so long as you are in fact covered, your having or not having the card is immaterial. The ER would accept you and your husband could always phone his HR person to ask for the ID#s over the phone.

The accident insurance will cover me if I am ever without actual health insurance. It covers all accidents, period. If I fall off my horse, break a leg falling down the stairs, slip on ice, etc. Also has a 40k life insurance policy for accidental death in case my horse decides to kill me :)<br /><br />I was without health insurance for 4 months. Still rode. My horse is so chill I never worry.Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303236534507171227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-78471259483172044232016-02-02T15:30:58.102-05:002016-02-02T15:30:58.102-05:00i mean... i can't predict with certainty that ...i mean... i can't predict with certainty that i won't be injured while stepping down from a damn trailer (fml) so... idk. personally, i haven't had to decide whether to ride or not based on health coverage, but probably i'd keep riding anyway. regardless, i hope you get your paperwork settled soon! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.com
