I have a question about HIPPA and I am not entirely sure how to find the answer.
With the upcoming move due to the match, DH and I have been looking at the numbers and honestly, we would come out ahead by far if I were to be laid off. However, since DS had ADEM and we still have extensive follow up care for him, we can't afford to have a break in coverage more than the 63 days allowed.
The state we are in has excellent coverage for low-income families for which we qualify, but it is Medicaid and I don't know if that would count towards the time of "credible coverage" or if it would be considered a break in coverage. I am hoping that one of our smarty-pants lawyer types might have some info or be able to direct me somewhere to look. (Paging Abigail and MrsK)
