We had a rep come to our home a few days ago. Unfortunately, we did not qualify. First of all, the CFer can't get an individual policy (I think we all knew that), but, they can be a dependent. Second of all, in WI, if you are on Medicaid and don't pay anything for premiums, you are not able to be insured. They called it "double-dipping".
Here's the weird part:
We talked with the rep about putting our son on our insurance (through employer). That way we would be paying premiums and he would have a back-up insurance. Yes, this would be an additional cost to us to add him to our policy. The rep called the underwriter (who didn't want to be on speaker phone). We never really got an answer to this...just that CF is uninsurable.
As a funny side note...I am also considered uninsurable because I am over their weight limit. Ha ha! Next time I will have to fudge the numbers a little! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
