What to do if your application for health insurance coverage is denied due to lower back issues?

March 14th, 2009 | by health |
AK asked:


I was denied new health insurance coverage in May 2007 because of lower back pain in January 2007 for which I received physical therapy. I have had continuous health insurance coverage for more than 2 years with no history of back ailments. If I reapply again now (for coverage starting in September), am I likely to be denied again? Is there anything I can do about it? My group coverage through work is very costly, and I’d prefer to have a more affordable plan.

    Go to Cuba. Health care companies are there to make a profit. I’m also frustrated myself.
    If you do an internet search for independent coverage in your area that might work. Something like Kaiser Permanante offers it. I have health ins. offered through a local hospital and my employer doesn’t pay, I pick up all the premiums and it’s really quite affordable and a good plan. Good luck to you!

    Depending upon your state, many companies will decline if you’ve had any back problems in the past 5 years. Visit a local independent agent. This person can contact the underwriters for you to see if any will accept you. Some companies may accept you but put a rider on any back problems. This means they won’t cover anything that has to do with or is a result of the back problems. Some companies may cover after 1 year. The agent can find out for you.

    Surprisingly! It is like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the content home a bit, but other than that, this is good blog post. A great read. I will certainly revisit again.

I’d enjoy use some of it content on my blog once you don’t mind. Natually I’ll present you with a link returning to your blog. Appreciate you sharing.

    Great site here. So many websites like this cover subjects that just aren’t covered by magazines. I don’t know how we got by 12 years ago with just magazines and newspapers.
