LOS ANGELES, June 29, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Securing health insurance plans in California will be much easier for people that have been denied coverage due to preexisting medical conditions, as discussed by Master Insurance Services. As part of the Affordable Care Act signed by President Obama, California residents are eligible for a preexisting condition insurance plan (PCIP) if they have been denied coverage within the past 12 months. Expanded spending for this program is making insurance more affordable for people who cannot afford high premiums because of preexisting conditions.
Since California has elected the federal government to control the health insurance programs, residents have the ability to save up to 40% of the cost of existing health insurance plans. This reduction is helping more people that need reliable insurance to find affordable health insurance in California without discrimination against their preexisting condition. These plans were created to help sick people find the temporary aid that is needed until the health care system is overhauled in 2014.
Residents that have a preexisting medical condition will no longer be required to provide written and documented proof from the insurance agency that denied extending medical coverage. The new move forward requires a letter from a medical professional such as a doctor, nurse or practitioner that states that a person has been diagnosed with a medical condition. These changes are helping more families to find family health insurance in California.
Employees that were part of an employer provided plan and were denied coverage because of preexisting medical conditions might be able to find new PCIP plans that are simplified compared to the group health insurance plans in California.
