I could not get insurance when I moved to Idaho from California 11 years ago. I kept my northern California based Kaiser plan.

From what I understand, the insurance cos want you to have not been treated or prescribed medication for the health condition for the previous 6 or 12 months, depending on the company. I was on meds that I could not stop taking so i stayed with Kaiser until my SSDI with MediCare was approved. I had to travel to California for my routine care. Not a big problem since I have family in Sacramento.

Since PCS is not a condition that requires doctors' treatment, it is possible to get past the time limit to qualify for health insurance.

I have lived with PCS for 45 years. Not a lot of need for doctors once you understand the symptoms. Once your symptoms stabilize, it should not be a problem.

If you currently have or had health insurance, you can get a Certificate of Health Insurability or something like that to provide the new company.

Jeffrey, I have paid for my own and my families health insurance since 1976 when I dropped off my father's plan at 21 years old. It has been a matter of financial priorities. Rent and health insurance were always the first bills paid.

Hope this helps.

My best to you.
