We are self-employed. Individual coverage. She has had 3 MRI's due to high prolactin levels. She has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I think my husband and I can change insurance companies and leave her with the current company. Our premium has risen to 750.00 per month. Found a cheaper company for all but they denied her. So.......

Is she still a minor? If so, call the local health department about your state's program for uninsured children - she should qualify. Ask them about income limitations and explain about your problems with getting coverage for her.
Good luck!

I don't know what state you live in or why she was turned down, but I had to also obtain health insurance for my teenage daughter. We live in California and did not qualify for any type of Cobra plan extensions, etc. I ended up going through a broker and she's covered under Blue Cross now. Granted, it was $122 per month and now is $133 per month. But it's only a $10 co pay and I have a peace of mind that she's covered. I would check out state sponsored programs and if it applies, a Cobra extension plan. Good luck!
The only other avenue is that you, her or her dad go to work for a company that automatically covers you within a certain time frame.

Would you mind giving us reasons the insurance company
gave you for denying coverage? Depending on the reason(s) why
I would recommend a different type of plan, see below.

Did you check with your employee benefit package? Most of them will insure children.
