How Can I Get My ADHD Kids Covered by Insurance?

Although changes in healthcare regarding pre-existing conditions are coming soon, currently any pre-existing condition may be denied coverage by a health insurance company. Any time a claim is filed with your health insurance company, whether the diagnosis is ADHD or not, it is sent to a clearinghouse called the Medical Information Bureau (mib.com). The information contained in your file can hinder your chances of obtaining health insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. As a result, many patients decide to pay out of pocket for services, and do not file with their insurance company. I suggest that your friend get a copy of her file from the Medical Information Bureau to make sure her information is correct.
