I've been a insurance broker in New Hampshire since 1985. You claimed you purchased a health insurance plan from Golden Rule within the past 6 months and are representing yourself as a resident on New Hampshire. The only plan Golden Rule offers in New Hampshire is a temporary health insurance plan which by state law can run a maximum of six months, and has limitations in coverage. Temporary Health Insurance can in no way be compared with a permanent individual health plan which is what you should have bought. "My payment is $40 cheaper than Mega". You saved only $40 over Mega buying temporary health insurance? Temporary is usually half the price of permanent insurance. "Apparently Golden Rule decided not to pay my bills in full". Health Insurance is a contract, Golden Rule cannot arbitrarily decide not to pay your bills. Contact the New Hampshire Insurance Department at 1-800-852-3416 if you feel Golden Rule is not honoring it's contract. "AND TO TOP IT OFF I CANNOT SWITCH TO ANOTHER PLAN SINCE MY NECK IS CONSIDER A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION." You are being advised poorly. The New Hampshire Health Plan (a private plan) guarantees to cover someone with a pre-existing condition as long as they maintain continuous coverage. Group coverage through an employer or if your self employed is also guaranteed acceptance, you cannot be denied coverage. Get yourself a competent broker who can guide you through the process.

If you were in an auto accident, your AUTO policy should be the primary insurance in the accident with your Golden Rule as secondary. You'd better check it out with your insurance agent.
