Hi Everyone,

I have had along term GF who I decided to tie the knot with sooner rather than later. She is an angel and not sick like me.

Anyone know what obstacles I might face??
Is there a waiting period before I can order meds?
Will they hit me with the pre-existing condition??

Please, Please share your knowledge!

Thanks,

CaliLymer

Are you staying in California? This is a link to patients rights information in Cali

http://www.calpatientguide.org/v.html

In California, insurance companies can deny coverage for a pre-existing condition for 6 months. The link explains what a pre-existing condition is.

The diagnosis that gets put on your claims could impact the pre-existing condition decision. There might be another diagnosis that is truthful but different that your doctor can put down.
