insurance application

[Guest guest]

Being self employed I need to pay for my own health insurance. This is

costly and the coverage isn't very good.

AARP has come out with a plan through United for people like me who

are not at retirement age. The posted prices (it can vary) looked much

better.

I applied for it and was told I would hear from them in 10 days. It's

been about 3 weeks and I got a phone call last night from them. A male

nurse had questions for me that came from the underwriter.

It was unbelievable! They asked if I had gone to an urgent care in the

last year, why and if there was a prescription and what is was for.

They asked why I had taken gabapentin and amitriptyline. I said for

pain. What type of pain. Vulvar pain. What was my diagnosis. I didn't

want to say vulvodynia but had no choice!!!

I told him I don't take the pills any more and that I no longer have

vulvodynia.

He asked me so many questions about cholesterol, physicals etc. I

asked if they were looking for people who had absolutely no health

issues and he laughed.

I found this very disturbing. This plan isn't that great and they

don't want to pay out for anything...just take your money.
