It's a Good Day

I just found out minutes ago that the kids have been approved for CHIP!!! We will be paying $75/quarter to have all three children covered (which is WONDERFUL and a HUGE blessing!) Also, Jake was told yesterday, despite his cholesterol medicine, the two of us are being covered by SelectHealth effective January 16th (so yes, 4 days ago.) Our caseworker for SelectHealth told Jake back in November that she would be shocked if he was able to get coverage because of his cholesterol, and she said with my thyroid medicine our premium would probably go up quite a bit. She was amazed that he was actually accepted and that we were able to get the coverage we did. HUGE blessings!! I can't tell you the stress this has caused, being uninsured for nearly 3 weeks.

It's been a Good Day.

YAY! I'm so glad everything worked out. What a blessing to not have to worry about "something happening" and not being covered.

hey good news on the health insurance. I cannot imagine not having it. So scary...did I miss something in one of your other posts like is your husband out of work? I dont mean to pry but you said the kids got on chip and isn't that gov assistance program cause we're on medicaid while dillon is in school and i thought it was kind of the same. Hope all is well with you guys.

Congrats!! I'm glad that the kids got on CHIP - for such an amazing price. Hopefully that will make up for any mark up they did for you and Jake.
