Pre-existing medical problem for immigrant

Q: Does Inbound Immigrant insurance cover pre-existing medical conditions? If not, what other insurance does?

A: Several Internet-based publications, including OnlineAdviser postings, contained errors about the "Inbound Immigrant" treatment of pre-existing medical conditions. This note is meant to clarify the treatment of pre-existing medical conditions. Applicants are accepted without regard to pre-existing medical conditions. This means that no matter what your health history, you cannot be declined for insurance due to medical conditions. This insurance does not pay for the cost of treatment of pre-existing medical conditions. Pregnancy is considered a pre-existing medical condition. For coverage of pre-existing medical conditions, see the article "Finding Health Insurance to Cover Pre-existing Medical Conditions" at FreedomBenefits.net. New residents in the United States may not be eligible for the health insurance plans available to permanent residents in each state that do cover the cost of pre-existing medical conditions.
