Need health insurance for my child

Question

I have a child who lives with his mom and I need to buy health insurance for him, Im also moving o/s so I cannot get insurance though my work, does anyone know of any programs or discount insurance company I can go though.

Answer 1

Many states have special programs for children... New York has Child Health, etc.

Adult programs are income based, but usually children are accepted without such criteria. Check with welfare or social agencies in your jurisdiction.

There are many discount clubs out there, but not all are great, and not all have such great discounts. Some are pretty expensive. regulation is getting stiffer, so shop around carefully if you decide to go that route... and double check with BBB and the Attorney General's complaint line in your area BEFORE you commit.

Answer 2

Call the child's local health department.  They can get you in touch with insurance programs for children.

Answer 4

Depending on his mother's income, it is pretty easy in some states to get state-sponsored children's health insurance (see cms SCHIP below). Fortunately, private policies for children are also pretty cheap. eHealthinsurance.com looks like a typical commercial site, but really gives a lot of information about available policies. Look closely at copays, deductibles and coverage details! Make sure the insurance covers high-dollar catastrophic care. Some policies have a payment cap that could kick him off the policy just when he needs it most.

Answer 5

I think every state has something similar, I believe it's called Child Health plus.  I found out about it through my daughters school.  I think if you call your states social services department they can give you a number.  They are pretty good about that kinda stuff, they can also point people in the right direction for help with daycare costs and possibly even food stamps.  Good Luck.
