Currentness
As provided in the Child-Only Law, until September 30, 2011, a child under the age of nineteen (19) years who meets the requirements of eligibility under subsection (a)(1) of Ark. Code Ann. § 23-79-509, as addressed by Section Two (2) of the Child-Only Law, may qualify for an individual policy issued by the Arkansas Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool (“CHIP”), if:
(a) There is a refusal by an insurer to issue individual health insurance coverage to the child under nineteen (19); and
(b) The child is not eligible for or enrolled in coverage under a group health plan, Medicare or Medicaid (including either ARKids A or B under the ARKids First Program) and otherwise meets residency and other minimum criteria for eligibility under the CHIP program.
The refusal by an insurer to issue individual health insurance coverage to a child means that the child is unable to obtain individual health insurance coverage from an insurer, either as a policyholder or as a dependent, in an individual health insurance policy or group health insurance policy.”
