Q: You wrote that some companies do not care if I have high blood pressure but most seem to be short term insurance. I want long term permanent health insurance. What is available?
A: Celtic Insurance offers both a short term plan and permanent coverage. It usually makes sense to use up your maximum allowance of 12 months of short term coverage first before switching to permanent insurance, so that is why I only mentioned the short term coverage in the article. Short term insurance coverage is faster, less expensive, easier to qualify for, and offers a higher level of coverage without the restrictions of using PPO network providers. Remember that (in most states) neither short term insurance nor permanent insurance will pay for the cost of high blood pressure medication when this is pre-existing medical condition unless you enroll in a much more expensive assigned risk policy. See www.celticenrollment.com for more information of both the short term and permanent insurance options.
