What to do regarding adding our newborn to my wife’s insurance policy after the one month period?
My wife did not due this because she was suffering from post-partum depression, generalized anxiety disorder and attention deficit disorder which she was not able to take her medication for as she was forced to breast feed as our child was not tolerating formula. We already contacted the insurer and wrote a letter and had one sent from her psychiatrist but they said it was not possible to have him added because of section 125. Do we have any ground to stand on given her mental state?

I suggets that you consult with an attorney that practice sin the area of insurance law to see what can be done to add your newborn child to your wife's exisitng policy of insurance (health). Her mental status should have no bearing as to being able to add or not add. Rather, you might have to take out your own separate policy of health insurance for the new born child.
