Health Insurance For Child With Pulmonary Stenosis Posted: 11-12-03 17:15pm
I would like to inquire if anyone can help
my daughter to get insurance on her child.
The child is healthy in all ways except
she has 27% pulmonary stenosis. The
doctors say that she may never have to
have surgery and if she does it will
probably be after she is grown, however
insurance companies will not accept her.

The same thing happened to me with my son.
The doctor thought that he had a hip
click and that he may need surgery so he
sent him to a specialist..Come to find out
it was nothing, but the insurance company
still denied him insurance because they
felt it was a liability. I went to my
local social services department and
applied for something called .F.A.M.I.S.
It's health insurance for children. If
you qualify, your child can get full
coverage. You'll get a card in the mail
just like any other health insurance
company. I don't know if you have
.F.A.M.I.S in your state, but i'm sure you
have something like it. You should visit
your local social services department.
I'm sure they'll have something there.

Try to contact your state government as
mentioned above. If that doesn't work,
you need to have a job with benefits.
Individual medical will not cover your
child's condition. Chances are the state
of texas will take care of you.
