Hi! Has anybody had to add their newborn or child in general to their insurance plan through Pennie? I have Highmark and “edited my application” on Pennie to add my child’s info and basically all I have heard back is that he may be eligible for CHIP. He’s on my insurance legally for his first 30 days of life, which is approaching, and I’m just getting nervous and don’t want him to be without coverage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

CHIP is the answer.

Call the insurance company. The website and the insurance enrollment system is probably not connected as seamlessly as you would think. So a rep can easily add the newborn to the enrollment system and skip the website piece.

Also if you qualify for Chip take it and get the state to cover it.
