• Mike, don't know if laws are different from state
to state (we are in MA) or policies are different from one insurance company
to another. My husband had two stents placed in Feb. 2006 and started a
new (less stressful) job in July 2006 with no issues of health insurance
acceptance. There was never any mention
of "pre-existing" conditions, even though he was still attending re-hab and numerous
doctor appts. The only issue we have encountered thus far is with Life Insurance.
Good luck! MR, Massachusetts, USA, June 22, 2007
• I have 2 stents now from 2 separate procedures.
I am thinking about a possible job change to something less stressful but
I am concerned that I would
be rejected by any new health insurance company now that I have an existing
condition. Has anyone looked into this and what are you experiences? Mike, New York, USA, June 21, 2007
