How do health insurance companies define pre-existing health conditions?

health insurance
Munroe asked:


Is it based on the time of diagnosis or the time the condition was likely to have originated? For example, what if I take out health insurance and a week later I go to the doctor and get diagnosed with cancer? I didn’t know about it beforehand but the insurance company says the lump must have taken months to develop? What’s the outcome?

x2hornsx1halox asked:


I applied for Antea Health insurance a few months back. I had to cancel it because I was not able to afford the exam they needed for my family. Is there any insurance companies that do not need the exams? I haven’t had one in years. I really need to get some insurance because I have a 20 month old son. Any suggestions? I have looked online but I can’t afford more than $200.00 a month.

health insurance
idlenessss asked:


Since capitolism is based on the concept that competition mixed with supply and demand will motivate compainies to maximize their efficiency and innovation, would it not seem that health insurance, whereby the person receiving the service is not actually required to pay the bill, would prevent hospitals from caring about havign a reasonable price fortheir service, or for operating efficiently? (sorry for the long sentence) Since hospitals are plentiful, would not simple free market economy work with with medicine in the US, and force prices to drop the a reasonable amount that people can actually afford, as it does with food, shelter, and all the other necesities that benefit from the superior free market economy? Could solving the problems of health care in the US be as simple as eliminating all health insurance companies?

Why is the co-pay for dental insurance more expensive than health insurance?

health insurance
2fine4u asked:


I compared the co pays on several reputable dental insurance companies and it is very expensive. Many things are not covered, even with the best dental insurance. Health insurance is usually a 10 dollar co pay for primary physicians and a 35-50 dollar co pay for specialty physicians. Is there any reason why dental insurance co pay is as expensive as it is?
