In certain situations, yes. Medical coverage is not a guarantee, and insurers can eliminate applicants due to pre-existing conditions.

Can you be denied health insurance due to preexisting medical conditions if your job status becomes permanent and qualify for health insurance?

Usually you won't be denied coverage outright, but expect your coverage to have limitations that will prevent you from making claims directly related to your preexisting condition. If your coverage includes life insurance, expect similar limitations.For example, if you have a heart problem, they probably will not cover any medical expenses from a surgery, but if you dropped a heavy box on your foot at work, they would cover expenses for a broken toe. Or with life insurance, they probably wouldn't pay out if you died of a heart attack (if you have existing heart condition) but if you were hit and killed by a vehicle at work (God forbid), you would have coverage.Ultimately the decision to cover you, or not, is the insurance provider's to make.

How to Get Health Insurance Quotes After Being Diagnosed with Heart Disease?

As many consumers already know, health insurance providers are less likely to insure people with preexisting conditions. If you have been diagnosed with heart disease in the past, it may be extremely difficult to obtain health insurance quotes. After being denied coverage from several providers, you may want to apply for a guaranteed issue insurance policy. These policies are designed to cover consumers with preexisting conditions. The downside is that most guaranteed policies will not cover costs associated the condition for a certain period after purchasing the policy. Fortunately, once the wait period is up, the guaranteed policy will begin offering more complete coverage.

Can a medical insurance deny coverage because you have ms?

I write policies for BlueCross Blueshield of Florida and Multiple Sclerosis is one of the medical conditions that will render you ineligible for coverage. Check with specific companies in your state to be sure. Be up front with the agent to save yourself the time of going through the application process. Also, do a search on "Guaranteed Issue" plans in your area. You should be able to get some form of coverage. If you already have the insurance policy and are diagnosed with MS after the underwriting process, check with your agent to help you read the fine print of the policy as far as any exclusions that may be built into the policy. As long as you're diagnosed with the condition after the underwriting process is complete, you should be covered. If you are diagnosed with the condition during the underwritng process, you can be denied coverage.


If you are denied temporary health insurance can you still be eligible for insurance from the same company when you start your new job?

Generally yes. Most employer coverage is guaranteed issue. If you applied for an individual coverage and were denied for underwriting reasons that should have no effect on the employer plan. In fact, it is common for someone with an uninsurable condition to make the availablility of health insurance a prime consideration when looking for a new job for this very reason.
