Is Diabetes a pre-existing condition for medical insurance?
I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and would like to know if I were to change medical insurance if it would be considered a pre-existing condition for which I would be denied coverage for medical treatment related to diabetes. I appreciate any advise/feedback. A: This is actually a legal question that may vary from state to state but you placed it in the correct category…. If when applying for health insurance you are not asked about any pre-existing conditions, you are under no legal obligation to provide any. As I said this is a legal question, the insurance commissioner (and this would include health insurance) in your particular state would be the agency that you would need to contact. As of today there are four states that don’t require health insurance companies to provide medical supplies for diabetics, the extent of treatment for diabetics would be addressed in the laws of your state and the policies of the insurance company.
