RE: Medical Insurance Coverage

[Guest guest]

Ask them to check out

http://www.txhealthpool.com/

>>>

The Texas Health Insurance Risk Pool is a health

insurance program created by the Texas Legislature

to provide health insurance to Texas residents who

either (i) cannot obtain adequate health insurance

coverage as a result of their medical conditions,

or (ii) are considered " Federally Eligible Individuals, "

as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and

Accountability Act of 1996, commonly referred to as

HIPAA.

I think it is managed by BCBS...

Hope it helps...

Medical Insurance Coverage

I have a friend whose daughter cannot get medical coverage of anykind

for her child because he is diagnosed with aspergers/autism. He is

10 years old and has absolutely no insurance coverage. She is afraid

he will get a broken leg or something and have no coverage. Anyone

know who she can contact? I was wondering if Mr. Jeff Sell had any

ideas. I have never heard of such a thing.

Thank you all,

Corky, Cito's Dad

Hi Corky:

Who is your company's insurance carrier? Feel free to e-mail me

privately if you wish.

I have never heard of this. Our twins are autistic and we have

not had a problem obtaining medical coverage.

Also, please, call me Jeff!!!!

Peacefully,

Jeff Sell

Hi Corky,

Are your friends self-employed? It can be extremely difficult to get health

insurance if you are self employed. Between the diagnosis placed on my

daughter, and my own health problems, my family of 3 are paying almost $1500.00

per

month for PPO coverage that allows us to select her specialists ourselves. I

was told that if my daughter had not been covered under my old employer's

policy (insurance portability) when I became self-employed, insurance companies

could have refused her coverage and forced us to go to the high risk pool

whether we wanted to or not.
