To go on what Purplelungs was saying.
Texas recently passed a law that states even when a company policy states that 'a child [anyone under 18 maybe it's 21] when reaching a certain age is ineligable to stay on the insurance' It forces the company to this 'a child who is disabled can stay on his or hers parents insurance indefinately as long as the policy holder resides within the state of texas' That is a very <i>very</i> loose translation of it but that's the jist of things. Ask your clinics social worker for more info, she should have it. I discovered this in the process of moving/trying to find financial aid for school.
I'm currently getting on my grandfathers insurance [since I am/was a dependent] as a secondary back up since SSI is trying to kick me off of their program due to having had a lung transplant [yay] yet still being about 3 degrees short of deaf. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> woo fun.
I wish the govn't had a special section that has people knowledgable about CF dealings and we don't have to go through things like this over and over again. Once is enough people. Well if wishes were horses beggers would ride, as the saying goes. Can't have everything.
