it's not that the hospital is forbidden to accept children because of the affordable care act. the issue is that none of the insurance companies in your area have contracted with the hospital to provide care to members with your health plan. you can call your insurer to inquire about other healthcare providers in your area who can treat your child. you also do have the right to appeal and ask your insurer to cover the cost of care at the hospital if you feel you can't get the treatment needed elsewhere.
why isn't seattle childrens hospital included in the wa state healthcare plans? . i was told that none of the plans include childrens and now they have to turn away kids that need care. previously they had to treat children that didn't-have insurance now they are forbidden to by the affordable health care act.
