Ohio Maternity Coverage - Kaiser Permanente Denied

by chakrdeep » Tue Jul 19, 2011 06:04 pm

Hi -

We live in ohio and are currently with Golden Rule United Health insurance.

Last year, with her existing insurance, went to the doctor for regular checkups - flu, cold and cough (minor illnesses). She mentioned that in her Kaiser Permanente application a week ago (as they are the only ones who do not have a waiting period).

We received a letter stating that our application was denied and the reason being that she has existing illnesses (how ridiculous!!) and that she can repeal (it would take 30 days for their decision).

My question - is there anyone out there in Ohio or anywhere facing a similar situation ? If so, can you please respond how tackled it and if you were able to receive Kaiser Permanente's maternity coverage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

Write to Obama and complain that his wonderful PPACA won't take effect for another 2-1/2 years.

What's wrong with filing the appeal *not repeal* and possibly being accepted? Is your wife already pregnant? Kaiser doesn't have to cover that under the normal terms of coverage.
