Yes, a complication from surgery that occurred before obtaining health insurance coverage is typically considered a preexisting condition. Insurance companies often view any medical issue or complication that existed prior to the start of coverage as preexisting, which may affect the benefits available for that condition. However, the specifics can vary by insurer and policy, so it's important to review the terms of coverage for details.

If a patient is admitted from outpatient surgery for a complication the reason for the surgery is the principal diagnosis. True or False?

True. In cases where a patient is admitted for a complication arising from an outpatient surgery, the reason for the initial surgery is considered the principal diagnosis. This is because the admission is related to the outcomes of that procedure, rather than a new condition. Proper coding and documentation should reflect this relationship.


If i had already had back surgery is it consider a preexisting condition when applying for ins?

Yes, it will be pre-existing. Probably what will happen is the insurance comapny will place a "rider" on your back. The rider will exclude coverage for any condition related to your back, and may even list specific areas of the back that would not be covered for any future complications. Some companies will still pay for the medication (if any).


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.
