Q: My daughter's COBRA coverage
lapsed for accidental late payment and the company will not reinstate
the coverage. The Texas High risk pool says she is not eligible for
another year until the date that the COBRA coverage was supposed to
end. She is an insulin dependant diabetic.
A: See the ValueHealth plan at
FreedomBenefits.net. Although this is a limited benefit policy, it
likely your best immediately available option.
