ashley b asked:
My son is on a feeding tube due to a small bowel transplant he received last year. My husband and I are returning to a full work schedule and our health insurance (Tricare) does not cover a nurse for him, or special daycare because his only special need is the feeding tube and the medication he receives through it. Apparently that’s not enough. So is there a good company that I can purchase insurance through who will cover these types of things for him?

I’m sorry to hear about your son being in this condition.
There is not a company that will insure him to cover the medical problems that he has, that I know of. There are some which say they are guaranteed issue, and cover pre-existing conditions, but they are not Major Medical coverages, which you need.
You may google “Guaranteed Issue health Insurance” and take a look.
Contact the State Department of Health and Human Services. I’m sure you could get a medical card for him.
Best wishes, and God bless.
