my friend found out that she has a STD, she came to me and told me. But she does have insurance.?

Question

if she gets insurance will they cover her for pre-existing condition? or does it depend on company? does anyone know of any so i can help her find one. I feel bad for her.

THanks

Answer 1

I am assuming you meant that she does not have insurance. Since most insurances are HMO's these days there is not much issue with covering pre-existing conditions. She should not have any trouble, but she should ask about thier policies before signing up.

Answer 2

If she currently has insurance and is not going through a coverage lapse for more than 6 months if she is switching insurance, then no, they cannot deny coverage. If she is going to have a lapse of in excess of 6 months, then they can deny coverage for generally between 3 months and 1 year, depending on the condition I would like to think.

Please have the provider give her information on HIPPA (Health insurance privacy and portability act)

Answer 3

if she has been examined and diagnoses by a doctor it will be considered a pre-exsisting condition. Depending on what she has, it may not be that much to treat. Maybe a round or two of I.V anti-biotic or maybe just some penicillian. She could even try getting help from a county health dept. or a free clinic.

Answer 4

Go to the health department; it's free and they have an STD clinic.

Answer 5

She should go to the local health department they have a free clinic, or one that will charge a very small fee.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I think the Health Department will treat her for free.

Answer 8

let her have sex with you then when you get std's you can both get coverage by saying the she gave it to you and that you and her both need the cure
