Getting Insurance With Pre-exisiting Conditions
Posted: 01-16-05 14:55pm

I am a 27yo male overweight and I have
sarcoidosis, my wife is 24 in good shape
with no issues.
We have been running an online business
for three years and I am looking to quit
my dat job and make it a full time thing,
my problem is every insurance company I
call says there is no way they will cover
anything pre-exisiting and a few insurance
companies in florida have told me I can
get a 'group' plan for about $400 for the
both of us and this seems just too good to
be true so I realize it probably is.
We live in ma now but have a house in
florida which we will be moving into
within the next few months but insurance
is my main worry and I am not sure of who
to trust as far as agents and I do not
know enough about this and all of the
small print confuses me so I am really at
a loss as for what to do and how to go
about finding a solution.
We are probably going to want to have kids
inthe next few years and I have even seen
companies who do not cover maternity!! It
is really crazy and I am amazed that here
in the us it is such a problem to get
decent health care even if your willing to
pay.
I have also heard something about canada
offering free health care? I do not know
much about it just something I heard and I
was wondering if anyone knows anything
about this, if all reality if I have to
sell our house and move to canada to
ensure I won't ever have to worry about
healthcare then that may be the only
solution but not something I would look
forward too.
Thanks in advance
paul

Overweight can be an issue, as those
considered morbidly obese are automatic
declines. The sarcoidosis may be a bigger
issue depending on the degree of
infiltration of the disease, which organs
(if any) have been affected, how long you
have had the disease, and future
treatments.
If you elect cobra when you leave your
current employer you can continue that
coverage for up to 18 months. That will
afford you coverage for current conditions
such as sarcoidosis.
Once cobra runs out you may be able to
pick up a conversion plan in the state
where you reside, or if fl has a high risk
pool, you may be placed in that.
Small group laws vary from state to state
(as do other laws governing insurance) so
fl may be one of those states where 2 or
more comprise a group. Even then most
carriers do not consider a married couple
to be considered 2 people but rather treat
them as one.
Both husband and wife would have to be
employed by the same company, not
different companies. Payroll records
would be required initially and ongoing to
assure the carrier is insuring a valid
group.
Most individual policies do not offer
maternity benefits and most that do still
have out of pocket expenses of $4000 or
more. The maternity benefit is usually a
dollar swap between the insured and the
carrier, between the waiting periods and
deductibles. You might be better off with
a qualified hdhp and hsa to fund the
delivery expenses.
Some states require coverage for
complications of pregnancy even if the
policy does not cover normal delivery.
Group plans, because of their mandatory
compliance with hipaa are usually quite
expensive relative to individual plans.
It is not unusual to find a group plan
costing double what comparable benefits
would be in an individual plan.
Canada does have socialized medicine
supported by a rather hefty income tax.
Many canadians frequently travel to the us
for elective procedures rather than wait 2
years or more until their turn comes.
Health care can be affordable as long as
you are reasonable in what you want
covered. Like anything else, the more you
want the higher the price.

I know it may seem like all hope is lost
but there are companies out there who
offer discount health plans. Could
something like this help you?
They include both insured and uninsured
benefits.
Ever hear of these guys? Http://www.Securahealth.Com
it's cheaper than insurance! That's for
sure.

people without insurance. This is not
insurance but a supplement package at a
reasonable cost.

I was dropped by mutual of omaha in dec.
'03 (after twenty years and no claims) and
have been living under great stress
because I cannot get coverage now. Is
there any hope for someone who is 60 years
old and has parkinson's?

Ok,
here is an option
form a payroll with both you and your wife
on it.
Then you can put a group plan in place.
That way you could cover maternity. You
must have both you and your wife on a
w2.
Good luck

Greetings...
I believe massachusetts is a guaranteed
issue state, which means pre-existing
conditions will not apply.
Best wishes.

Insurance company that is fantastic and
will assist all of us single parents and
students.... I am 23 and have a four year

insurance plan that sounded really too
good to be true and spoke to a
professional within the company and

a cost that my current job was offering it
at, to top it off it even gave me a cell
phone deal that is included in my plan....

can be of any of assist to you and can use
to your advantage please contact me if any
