Look at the waiver form, as it asks the questions to determine if your insurance is adequate. It will deal with coverage limits but also whether there is a place for major care nearby that is under your plan.

There is an Alta Bates medical center nearby which takes most plans - check with your insurer for a list of approved clinics, hospitals and doctors in the area. I am sure you will find many that qualify.

If so, waive the SHIP as you are already paying for coverage for your son with your Blue Cross policy.
