Who would have thought when an area gets a government mandated zip code change that for some residents havoc is the result? In the East Phoenix Arizona Valley there were several areas where the zip codes were changed as of July 1 this year. One expects that when a new zip code comes into effect that businesses have to change out their business cards, letterhead and such, and people need to advise their utility firms, etc also.

But for some individauls, they have found they are being denied medical insurance because the companies are thinking they moved - say what? 

If you are in the Gold Canyon or East Phoenix Arizona Valley and had a new zip code change, you may want to read the posts on GoldCanyon.net's blog to see what has happened to others and then be sure to check that the same thing is not happening to you - and you might not yet be aware.

Many insurance companies, at least here in Texas, base their rates on zip codes.  A change in zip can bring big headaches.

Carolin, Unbelievable, they should have left it alone.  That IS going to cause many problems (and expense).

There was a similar zip code change in a small town in Contra Costa county (California) called Discovery Bay. I knew the headaches that people complained about, but haven't heard any medical insurance stories like that...how awful and time-consuming I imagine it must be to have to go through that!

Been there, done that. I had an unpaid bill at the dermatologist because it had been returned by the post office due to the old zip code.
