Insurance company changes policy regarding fat babies
DENVER (Winston-Salem Journal) - A Colorado insurance company is changing its attitude about fat babies.
Rocky Mountain Health Plans said yesterday that it will no longer consider obesity a "pre-existing condition" barring coverage for hefty infants.
The change comes after the insurer turned down a Grand Junction 4-month-old who weighs about 17 pounds. The insurer deemed Alex Lange obese and said the infant did not qualify for coverage.
