Avatar n tn I was denied insurance coverage by all the major companies because I had high blood pressure and tachycardia when I was hyperthyroid last year. Even though I had surgery to correct the problem, I have been denied coverage by them all. I had to pay for my own surgery (borrowing from friends and family since the hospital wanted to be paid prior to the surgery), and I ended up paying over $15,000 last year in medical bills.

Avatar f tn The Oklahoma High Risk Pool provides health insurance to Oklahoma residents who have been denied coverage. Before your friend's COBRA runs out, she would need to apply for major medical coverage with a local Carrier (doesn't which one or for what plan becasue she will most likely get denied anyways) & get a formal declination letter.
798555 tn?1292787551 I have had health insurance for the last 21yrs. I had a TT so I am clincially hypo. I have had to change health insurances at least four times since the TT (17yrs ago), but NOT once was I ever denied, nor did I have to pay higher premiums. Some forms asked about medical history & I listed it, but no problems stemmed from it. Now I am only on my husband's insurance as opposed to mine offered here at work.
280299 tn?1216855676 I have been denied not for heart but my diseease and it is not life threatening just many surgeries, my 4 year old has a cardiac issues and he has been denied.

443006 tn?1229201842 Has anyone had experience with Fibrospect test being denied insurance coverage? I have PERS Blue Cross and my insurance is refusing to cover the test, saying it was not medically necessary or appropriate. I am a G-2b and did not have a biopsy since I had planned on being treated regardless of stage of liver damage. I've been fighting with my insurance about this for six months. Any suggestions from anyone?
Avatar n tn I have done a lot of research in the past couple of days and from what I can tell, you can't get denied group health insurance due to a pre existing condition. The carrier can make you go through an exclusionary period, but can't deny you. Is that as a result of the HIPPA law passed in 1996? I have a friend who told me that pre exisiting condition denial is rampant in group policies. Wouldn't that be illegal or are the companies findings ways around it?
Avatar f tn Sooooo Medicaid denied me and told me to reapply! And husbands insurance wont give me coverage because pregnancy is a preexisting condition. And he tried to work it to where it would cover my bills under His name but hey, being an expectant father is a preexisting condition, too! So I'm reapplying for Medicaid and until they freaking approve me I am going to get my routine checkups at the freaking health department!
Avatar f tn What was discontinued was paying for the meds if denied by your medical insurance they discontinued that if I recall about June 2015
Avatar n tn Is there any reason you don't want medicaid? Just wondering about that... I am self-employed and insurance is always a thorn in my side. I make too much for medicaid and too little for traditional maternity insurance. I found it cheaper to carry a insurance policy on myself and pay my maternity fees out of pocket. Ironically, I save money doing it this way. Most doctors and midwives will give you the option of a payment plan if you don't qualify for medicaid.
Avatar m tn It's not legal for health insurance to deny an FDA approved treatment when prescribed by a physician. Do you think this isn't the case?
Avatar n tn I'm so tired of people saying we have to pay a higher rate on insurance just because we have pre-existing conditions.Why? don't we have rights,especially the one not to be denied health insurance?

Avatar f tn I was interested in seeing how many of us have health insurance vs no health insurance.
Avatar m tn By the way, I would also recommend that anybody having interest in this subject also read the links which often follow threads. There are many related issues with insurance. Some people may even be denied insurance post SVR since the insurance companies consider us more of a risk. If I recall however, one of our past members, mikeg fought and won a dispute in such a case, providing documentation which the insurance company accepted; he got his policy.
645800 tn?1466860955 The VA has endemic problems, but the veterans in my family receive excellent health care and coverage. And if memory serves, no one wants to lose their Medicare coverage, and those who are covered under federal health insurance seem to like it. I am on my knees in gratitude for the fact that where private insurance once declined me, they will have to take me now and that my husband no longer has to be beholden to a job just to make sure I have coverage.
Avatar f tn Ok mommys that have medicaid . Will I get denied if I already have dental insurance but not health insurance?
3221216 tn?1373640059 Thanks to federal subsidies, people who have been denied coverage or quoted outrageous premiums because of their health history can buy these comprehensive health plans for about the same price as a healthy person their age would pay for a private plan. The catch is that to qualify for the program, the law says people must have gone without insurance for at least six months. Even so, 67,482 Americans had enrolled in these plans as of April 30, 2012.
