are health insurance companies held responsible to anyone?
I have child health plus for my child and they canceled without any notification, this doesn't seem right.

Child Health Plus is not a health insurance company. It is a government run program for the poor in New York State. Anything run by the government is going to be messed up.They probably cancel because you do not qualify for govenment assistance anymore. Private insurance companies answer to the customers. Government run programs answer to no one.

Yes. Contact your state Insurance Commission. They are unbelievably thorough in every state, and they have to follow up on all complaints, requiring the insurance company to spend time and money answering to an investigation. Sometimes just telling an insurance carrier that you are going to contact the commission will change their behavior very quickly.

I assume there is some sort of a mix up. Now if only they would actually answer calls instead of that automated crap....
