Information on child health plus for my daughter

Information on child health plus for my daughter?
I'm trying to get info on my daughter's health insurance that she gets through child health plus. I go to the website but I don't really see an information phone number for it. How does Child Health Plus work? I'm trying to get information on what doctor she's going to? I can't really get this information through my ex as she's really shady and keeps a lot of information from me. What I'm really trying to do is get my daughter's records sent to a local doctor that I know behind her mother's back so that I can take my daughter to a GOOD doctor and not some two bit medicaid doctor. I have insurance through United Health that my ex refuses to use as she has too much pride. Thanks

You contact your county's Social Services department. Many doctors that accept medicaid also participate with private insurances such as United Health, so him or her participating with medicaid would not indicate that he is a bad doctor. In fact the insurances under CHP pay a monthly sum regardless of how many members show up so most doctors want to participate in that program.

Honestly I dont know how much info you would be able to get with all these laws of privacy.. I couldnt even get advice from my own doctor over the phone, lol.. I really think its great you want to make sure your child has the best care but I think the only way to go about this is try to reason with the mother or call county assistance where your child gets the medical and tell them you are willing to pay for child care and your ex wont allow it.. I know they would rather you pay it then the state so im sure they would be willing to help. Good luck

Just a follow up to let you know that after inquiring with my company, I learned that they only consider same sex relationships as eligible for domestic partnership.

~~There are no laws requiring this. It is up to your employer on whether this option is available to you or not.~~
2 :
Wow! that is a great question. I doubt it. Right now insurance companies are barely insuring domestic partners.But it never hurts to ask.
3 :
If your policy offers coverage for domestic partners and yours is required to cover the child, and he or she does not have other coverage, then you should be able to cover the child. However, domestic partner rights are still iffy, at best. Many employers will provide domestic partner benefits, but because the IRS guidelines for pre-tax benefits state that the spouse must meet the IRS definition of a spouse or dependent, they are considering the cost of the coverage as income. Simply, if you pay $25 a month for single coverage, and $125 a month for yourself and a partner who does not meet the IRS definition, you will have to pay taxes on that extra $1200 a year. It will appear on your W-2 as taxable income. You may want to look at the availability of a private plan for the child. Good luck!

Hawaii Universial child health care ending after 7 months

Hawaii Universial child health care ending after 7 months?
Have you read this article? Hawaii is now stopping their state universal health care due to people who could have had private insurance for their children but choose to use the free health care instead. It lasted only 7 months. I could only imagine what Obama's health plan will do to our Country if he is elected. Hawaii couldn't even last a year. To me this shows that this kind of health care will not work. What is sad is that this was only for children and it still could not work. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081017/ap_on_he_me/child_health_hawaii_3

I think especially in our economic crisis and until after these next four years I don't think he can do it. Maybe in six to eight but hang our hope on the maybes...did you know people could get dropped from their employer's insurance on Obama's plan as well?

Surprisingly, free health care works for most countries in the world. I guess we in the USA are just too greedy for it, if those not in need abuse it.
5 :
yep, if you taxed the rich 100% you still would not have enough to fund Universal Health Care, you would end up paying more than you are now and have poor health care in the trade

The program was intended to use federal funds from SCHIPS, but Bush killed that. What is sad, is that Republicans won't even get their act together for the sake of kids- unless of course they haven't been born yet.

If the US Govt offered a National Health Care system ("public option") for children only, would you support it

If the US Govt offered a National Health Care system ("public option") for children only, would you support it?
As in, they get rid of pre-existing state and federal child health care programs (like CHIP) and got a NHS-style system for everyone under 18. Since the bulk of the super-expensive specialized care (heart surgery, emergency reconstructive cosmetic surgery, etc.) have Adult patients, those things could stay through private insurers. But since child health care is comparatively cheaper, wouldn't it be better to have a government program for all those under 18?

Perhaps, as long as parents are truly able to choose their doctor, if treatment is timely with no waiting lists, and parents are still able to opt out of certain treatments if they don't think they are in their child's best interest. It shouldn't be up to some government official to decide. It should be noted that low-income families already can get health care for their children, through Medicaid in its various forms. The problem is finding doctors who will participate, because Medicaid is burdensome. Especially in rural areas, there is a shortage of providers. Also, whenever the government runs a program, it is not run as effectively or efficiently as a privately-run program. And we certainly don't need more government paper pushers on the tax payers' dime.
2 :
First, Actually they already have programs in place for that. Second. No I wouldn't. I support no law that increases the size of a bloated government. The government can't run any type of entitlement program, or business. Proven by Social Security, Amtrac, Medicare, etc. etc. etc. I'm even uninsured, so I'm not " The insured guy telling other people no " Atheist.
3 :
Better than nothing I guess.
4 :
they already have that...the real question would be if national health care was forced upon the citizens of America...what about the illegals aliens...how will this "reform" ease emergency rooms and costs from people who don't have insurance and who are here illegally...

Is it illegal to kick a dependent child off of a parent's health insurance in the state of Washington

Is it illegal to kick a dependent child off of a parent's health insurance in the state of Washington?
I am trying to find this information for my girlfriend; she's currently a student, so she's still a dependent. I'm almost positive that this can't be done, but I don't know where to find information that explicitly states this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Law & Ethics - 7 Answers

1 :
What is her age? Being a student has no bearing if she is over a certain age.
2 :
How old is your girlfriend? is she a full time student? Did the insurance require proof of certification to cover her on the plan? Was that proof of certification sent to the insurance company? Can they drop her? Yes. If they do not have any evidence that she is eligible to be covered, they can drop her. It's up to her parents to provide that proof.
3 :
1. She needs to be enrolled Full Time (3 classes or more) to be eligible to remain on her parents health insurance. 2. She needs to be under the age of 23, even though she's a student, age 23 terminates all parental insurance. She may be eligible for COBRA benefits if they've been terminated within the last 60 days. The last 2 answers are taking extremes and making them seem common. Disregard both of the last 2 answers, 99% chance they don't apply to you.
4 :
If you are over 18, being a student has nothing to do with it. Continuous insurance coverage for full time students is an option, not a right. After 18, you are no longer a dependent unless you are handicapped, and it has been determined by the courts.
5 :
1. Being a student does not make you a dependent in the eyes of the law or taxes, even if your parents still support you 2. Many insurance companies will allow you to keep a child on while they are considered a full time student, but it is NOT a law, nor a requirement. 3. If she is under a court order, like if her parents split up, they are only required to keep medical coverage on her until child support ends, which is 18. Sorry, but being insured is not a legal right, it is a privilege that we pay for with rules attached.

Thank you for answer, try this: insurance.2arz.com
7 :
If she crossed 18,then she no longer cant be a dependent.
