Study: Children with disabilities are under-insured
May 2nd, 2009A study in the current issue of Pediatrics concludes that nearly 40 percent of children with special health care needs are not adequately insured. Emerging insurance products may expose children and families to greater financial risk by siphoning off healthy members from the risk pools that conventional plans use to establish their premiums.
Researchers led by Paul W. Newacheck of the University of California at San Francisco urged that health care providers, insurers, employers, and government should collaborate to ensure that all children have health insurance that meets their needs.
