HELP fininding Health Insurance for adults with RSS

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm new to this group and tried posting something yesterday, but it

doesn't seem to have made it. So I will try again.

Does anyone know of a health insurance plan that will accept adults

with RSS and/or who are under 4'10 " ?

Thanks,

Klo

Hi Klover-

I've never had problems getting health insurance and in my adult

life I've had BC/BS (Empire State and Of Illinois), US

Healthcare/Aetna and one other whose name I forgot. However all but

one of them were group policies from work (I paid for ES BC/BS from

age 19 to 23, when I was too old for my parents' policy but still in

college and not yet working). I also have what I consider to be a

mild case of RSS and, without any active issues related to it, I

didn't think it would be a problem to not tell them about it, since

it's wasn't anything that had an affect on my health.

Hi Sharon,

Thanks for responding. BC/BS was the first to turn her down because

of the RSS. The next one was GoldenRule/UHC because she was under

4'10 " (she's between 4'8 " & 4'9 " ). She also has a very mild case of

RSS and has never received any medical care because of it. She has

been quite healthy all her life. She can stay on my insurance

through the COBRA plan for 36 months, but it is quite expensive

compared to an individual plan. I'm sure once she gets hire on as a

teacher, she should have no problem with a group plan. There lies

another issue where because of her size, prospective employers

immediately question weather she is able to handle middle school/high

school kids.

What is an ES insurance plan (emergency surgery)?

Thanks again for your input.

Hi K-

ES BC/BS = Empire State BC/BS (I had mentioned it earlier in the

message...I had it when I still lived in NY)

If the RSS doesn't really affect her, why does she have to mention

it? Like I said, I didn't.

And what kind of BS (that stands for bull ca-ca, not Blue Shield

<G>) is it that GoldenRule/UHC wouldn't carry her because she was

SHORT?!?!?!

As for the people who interview her...it might do her well to have

a " stock answer " ready for the " Can you handle the kids " question,

since she's going to have that for her entire career.
