A 23 year old married male in GA can be denied health insurance due to the fact that he is an expectant father.... that man is my husband!



We are having the absolute most difficult time finding health insurance for him. We have discovered that since I am already covered with BCBS, they CANNOT deny him access to their coverage for that reason alone.



However, all other insurance companies see that factor as an automatic decline of service.



The reason being that, even if you plan on doing it differently, they do not want to cover the child once he or she is born if he or she is unhealthy. So, denying the father is the only way they can protect themselves. I know... it completely sucks.As a 25 yr old single male in VA, can you be denied health insurance because I am expecting a child?Many expectant mothers don't even get it, let alone expectant fathers.

It will be extra a month added on to what you pay for yourself, but you shouldn't have to add them on til the baby is born. Does the mother have medical coverage or Medicaid? The baby will be covered I think up to the age of 5 if the mother is on Medicaid.As a 25 yr old single male in VA, can you be denied health insurance because I am expecting a child?
Individual health insurance can reject you for ANYTHING they want. However, under GROUP insurance, they cannot reject you for anything. Have you looked into the new Blue Cross Blue Shield plan? It鈥檚 nothing fancy, but they won鈥檛 reject you. And it鈥檚 at least some sort of coverage which is better than none. But still expect to pay a good amount of money.



Pregnancy CAN be viewed from some companies as a pre-existing condition. However, you鈥檙e a man, and it shouldn鈥檛 make a difference, unless you tried adding your girlfriend/spouse carrying child. It could matter...


You can't be denied coverage unless you have some circumstance/condition that would disqualify you regardless of the pregnancy. The mother can be denied coverage under your plan if you are not married. The child can be added to your coverage after he/she is born and paternity is established.As a 25 yr old single male in VA, can you be denied health insurance because I am expecting a child?
If you managed to get pregnant you don't need insurance. Call Jerry Springer or one of those guys. They will pay you big bucks.
Wow it's a miracle!
No
Health Insurances can no longer count pregnancy as a preexisting condition so if you come late into an insurance then they have to cover it.



Same thing happened to me.
