Gipsy,
I am at work now, I am looking at the Lifewise Med Ins rates, With most med insurance carriers you must have insurance then list child as well.
Ok here are some rates:
$2,500 deductibleon all prices below:
ages 30-34 Non Smoker $91.58 Smoker $106.55
Add child for $56.43
ages 35-39 Non Smoker $102.46 Smoker 119.22
add child for $56.43
ages 40-44 Non Smoker $135.03 Smoker 157.20
add child $56.43
If you go with a $500 ded child would cost approx $107.00
These rates are only good thru 9/1/04.
What the cs office in our state will do is NOT take into consideration that you must apply for benefits as well, they go off of JUST what the child would cost.
If the current order says "if medical can be obtained thru employer at a rate no higher than xx bla bla bla" read your oder, as we both know your employer does not offer medical insurance.
Call me if you have any questions.
