Aren’t insurance companies required to give me a copy of my policy? Don’t they also have to notify me of changes to policy or payments?
I have group insurance through my employer in Texas. I’ve never recieved a copy of the policy, but am paying every week. I’ve repeatedly asked for this, but still nothing. Also my rates DECREASED two months ago with no explanation. Aren’t they required to notify me of any changes?

They are required to notify you of changes and to provide you with a copy of the policy, however since you are covered through your employer, you might be more successful getting the information you want by going through your employer's office and asking who deals with the insurance matters--usually the Human Resources dept. or an individual who handles it.
