Smith, Director Health. at Hartwell Ave.) held Monday, Members present Lambie, Dr. of Public The application for financial assistance for premature twins born to Mr. & Mrs. Dennis Lowe, 197 Concord Avenue was discussed LOWE by the Board. PREMATURE INFANTS It was explained that according to Chapter 111, section 67C, the Board of Health was required to pay for premature infants where there was a need. This was the first case in over 5 years that the Board would be responsible for, others had either been eligible for medicaid or had health insurance sufficient to cover the costs. This family has an income too high to be eligible for medicaid but the costs of these infants will not be covered by any health insurance. Mr. Lowe had a health policy with Aetna which will pay $400.00 towards his wife's pregnancy but as far as we know they pay nothing toward the care of the babies in the hospital. Mr. Lowe has also just received his law degree and is working for Mr. Conroy, Lawyer, at $160.00 per week. The Board discussed this case and the law governing the pay- ment and finally agreed that Mr. Lowe was in need of aid for these prematures in accordance with Chapter 111, section 67c of the Gen- eral Laws.
