Reasons You Can Be Denied Health Insurance

Children Accepted On Parent's Insurance

Certain states sponsor a health insurance program for children born into low income families. The eligibility criteria for these plans differs from state-to-state as not every state has similar plans for children. People wondering whether or not their state has a government-sponsored plan for children should check the state health department website. Many of these plans will not cover a dependant if they are eligible for coverage under their parent’s plan. Some states will still allow a dependant to be coverage through the government plan, even if the parent has a plan that can cover them. In this case, the family must earn less than a certain dollar amount per year.
