How do I get a Certificate of Coverage from and insurance company?
My new insurance provider needs proof that I was covered by some insurance last year. They need a Certificate of Coverage to prove it. What is the best way to get this? I don’t have any information from when I was under the insurance or anything.

Call the insurance company you were covered under. They will mail or fax the certificate to you or to your new insurance provider. It’s very easy and a common request.
Ask your former insurance company or agent. Do you have any statements from your prior insurance?
If you didn’t have insurance, you would not have a Certificate of Coverage.
Sounds like health insurance – if so, you contact the prior insurance company, and you have to ask them for a certificate of credible coverage.
If you HAD coverage, you have to at least figure out who they were! You’ll have to contact whoever was PAYING for your insurance, to get the information.
The easiest way is to call the old/prior insurance company and ask for it. Because of HIPAA, they know have to send these so regularly that it is a routine request and not a big deal.
