If the company accisentally enrolled you in the wrong plan (that is, it was their error, not yours), they have to provide any compensation necessary to "make good" their mistake. For example, say you were supposed to be in Plan A but are in fact in B and B has more expensive premiums: they would have to pay the extra or difference for you. If they won't, you could take legal action for the difference. But you do need to pay your share of premiums for any coverage you have received. So if you have been covered for 3 months but have not been charged yet, you will have to pay those 3 months of premiums.
