What If A Health Insurance Company Denies An Application For Health Insurance?
A. Assuming paternity and/or support has been established, state law says that no health insurer can deny enrollment of a child in the parent’s plan based on the fact that the child: was born out of wedlock, is not claimed as a dependent on the federal tax return of the parent, or does not reside with the parent, regardless of the enrollment period. If an insurer fails to comply with these provisions, the failure can be reported to the Ohio Department of Insurance.
