thebratqueenBecause who doesn't love a good insurance story?
Anyway, called Geico on my lunch break to tattle on the rude insurance lady. They assured me I did the right thing and that I wasn't supposed to give her the information she'd been asking for, so it was a good thing I didn't have all my policy info handy because I might have if I did.
Making a long story short the two insurance companies finally hooked up, so things are progressing so I'll get my deductible back. I was also greately amused to get a phone call from Geico one hour later:
Him: "I was talking with someone from his insurance and I want you to be aware that under your state law they're required to pay for XYZ benefits if you want them. The woman I was talking to was giving me a hard time and trying to tell me they don't, but the law in your state requires them to do it."
Me: "A woman who was giving you a hard time about what she was required to do, huh? You know I wonder if you talked to the same woman I did."
Him: "She did mention having talked to you this morning, yeah."
So I'm both bemused and vindicated. And also impressed that Geico called to tell me about those extra benefits, as they had no real reason to. So neat on all counts, really. =)
