I have had bad stomach problems for the past month and a half. Something irritated my stomach really bad and I couldn't recover from it. Had endoscopy and CT scan that were both normal, except for some stomach irritation, but still would have bad upper stomach pain and nausea when trying to eat even a bland diet.
That law allows you to add yourself, your spouse and your newborn child (if dependent coverage is an option under your plan) for coverage under your group health plan without evidence of insurability. However, you must take that action within 30 days of the child's birth.
The letter she got from the hospital said the baby is covered automatically under the mothers insurance for 30 days after they are born. So; who is responsible for the $26,000 bill for the NICU? Update: We are in NC. She spoke with the plan administrator and she said the newborn was only covered for the exact amount of time she stayed in the hospital?
