Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 , I know my husband changed companies during my 7th month of pregnancy with Lexi. Of course, he knew where he was going and the insurance company they used as well. I had called to find out if they would cover the remainder of my pregnancy and delivery, because some insurance companies will not cover the remainder of a pregnancy and consider it preexisiting. Luckily, the new insurance did cover it and he didn't have to hold off on starting there until I delivered. I don't know if there are set laws pertaining to " preexisiting " , as much as it is some companies consider one thing preexisting and another company may not consider it preexisiting. If he is looking at a few different companies to work for, perhaps you could call their Human Resources dept and find out who they use as their insurance provider and call them and get the info. Even though in Gabi's case it is congenital, they might give partial benefits for her procedures and treatments, or even worst case, up your premiums to have her carried on it. Sorry that isn't much help, but trying to find out some of the companies he is looking at and their insurance companies may help. All you could really do is call them and find out what kind of coverage, if any they will give her. If you have the funds available to consult with an attorney who may be able to help you with some suggestions if you run into roadblocks down the road if he does change jobs, is another idea. This is why I absolutely hate insurance companies, because alot of the times the ones who really need it are the ones that have to fight for benefits. I won't get on that soapbox though!! Good Luck and good luck to your husband in his search!! Tracey > > Hi, > DH wants to switch jobs, and i am having this feeling of impending > doom about insurance.
