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.
A newborn is considered an addition to the family, and changes in family size is a qualifying life event. In fact, the family can enroll for a new plan because its insurance costs would change when more family members are added. Adopting a child is of course a qualifying life event as well. The adopted child can get insurance from the date he or she is in the parent's custody.
