Will I be protected under HIPAA?
My insurance is going to run out soon, Im concerned because I have a medical condition. I have applyed for coverage under the HIPAA law. Assuming that my insurance will keep me under HIPAA, can they discriminate against the medical condition, that they know I already have??
Right now, I’m under COBRA. Under HIPAA I can’t be denied coverage. What I don’t is, will they still pay for my meds?
Here is the catch:
A new insurance company cannot refuse to cover you under HIPAA, even if you have health problems, if you don’t have a 60-day break in insurance coverage.
The catch, is that there is nothing in the law that states that the new insurance copany cannot raise the rates on you…possibly to the point where you couldn’t afford the coverage.
Now you know why that law isn’t worth the piece of paper it’s written on.
