More than 20,000 insured Georgians have until this Friday to provide missing information to their health insurance exchange (HIX) plan or they will lose their coverage on September 30. According to Georgia Health News, letters totalling more than 310,000 were mailed to insured individuals in three states last month, requesting additional information to continue coverage. Georgia reported the highest number of such requests that were mailed out. Most of the requests were regarding immigration or citizenship issues.
