Were you ELIGIBLE for your company's health insurance in spite of Weg's?

My former employer's group insurance covered everyone regardless of diagnosis after 30 days of employment. The first 30 days was usually covered by a former employer's insurance plan for new employees.

Just got off the phone with a buddy who told me one's company-provided insurance can't ask medical questions and possibly disqualify you - only if you went directly to the insurance company for insurance. There might be exceptions, but for the last 2 YEARS I've thought wrong! Duh!

That probably depends. They can't turn you down if you've had continuous coverage. If you had a break in coverage then they can look for "pre-existing" conditions. I'm not sure when the changes for pre-existings with the health care law changes go into affect. (Or if they maybe already have).

Not sure, but the health law changes have already gone into effect I believe.
