Children enrolling in the Children’s Health Insurance
Program no longer are required to be uninsured for 90 days prior to enrollment.
The
West Virginia Children’s Health Insurance Program Board approved to eliminate
the 90-day waiting period for children Wednesday.
The
decision comes after the WVCHIP Board extensively researched the issue for the
past month. The research indicated that this change did not pose any potential
issues.
The change
will go into effect on October 1.
