[My Commentary: This is just one example of the bureaucracy that happens every day that denies Health Insurance to thousands of Americans, and now i have heard that the insurance companies have stabbed the white house in the back. Are we going to stand and take this I hope not,I do not know what to do, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....]
Discovery of Flaw in System Leads to Policy Change
(GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.) – Today, Rocky Mountain Health Plans has made a company wide policy change and will now provide health plan coverage for healthy infants, regardless of their weight.
“A recent situation in which we denied coverage to a heavy, yet healthy, infant brought to our attention a flaw in our underwriting system for approving infants,” says Steve Erken Brack, president and CEO, Rocky Mountain Health Plans. “Because we are a small company dedicated to the people of Colorado, we are pleased to be in a position to act quickly. We have changed our policy, corrected our underwriting guidelines and are working to notify the parents of the infant who we earlier denied.”
The trend in health care has been for more and more families with small children to seek individual coverage for their children from health insurers. Rocky Mountain Health Plans has also been seeing this trend. Underwriting for this age group is a relatively new process.
“We are part of the Colorado community too and that includes healthy babies. Rocky Mountain has been serving this community for more than 35 years and our collaborative, community approach to health care is well documented. We are constantly working on new, innovative ways to deliver quality, affordable health plans that are designed for the people of Colorado.
