California High Risk Health Insurance

[Guest guest]

Hello All-

Just an FYI...

I was rejected for insurance by several carriers and applied for California's

High Risk plan (MRMIP) in June of 2001

This week (February of 2002) I was offered coerage.

So...it took less than a year for me to get into the program.

What amazes me is that in the past decade my doctor's bills for CMT related

visits (this includes AFO's) was under $6000 - hardly what I'd call " high risk " .

An AIDS patient or person undergoing chemo cost a whole lot more.

Sigh...

For those interested, the least expensive plan offered is a non-deductible Blue

Cross PPO at $260/month.
