Health Insurance January 2014


 Beginning  January 1, 2014  insurers can no longer decline your health insurance application based on your medical history.   The use of diagnostic disease process as a measure of risk to support a higher premium payment is no longer valid.   Legislative regulation now folds this risk associated with pre-existing conditions in to the population of payers. Consumers who need the most help paying for their medical care now have access to health insurance products.

Consumers with a pre-existing condition were often denied coverage if that coverage had been sought as an individual in the health insurance market before March 2010.   Now health status is not an option for a rate increase. Consumers will still experience a rate increase with advanced age, tobacco use, and depending on your geographical residence.

Under the (ACA) Affordable Care Act as of January 1, 2014 all health insurance plans are prohibited from discriminating against or charging higher premiums to a consumer on the basis of a pre-existing medical condition.
