The important thing is that you answer the questions correctly on the new application - otherwise they can recind it as the Insurance Company relies on your application to make a decesion http://www.steveshorr.com/wrong.or.imcopmplet.info..htm
Most health insurances have a pre-existing clause in them...some also offer certain rider coverages to pay for certain procedures related to a certain diagnosis. Fortunately for most, health insurances that have a pre-existing clause also gives the insured an opportunity to prove that they were covered previously through another carrier by allowing the insured to provide them with a "certificate of coverage" this will allow the carrier to show that the insured did have coverage through a previous carrier. However, it is always best to fill out the coverage application in full.

Can you be denied health insurance due to preexisting medical conditions if your job status becomes permanent and qualify for health insurance?
Usually you won't be denied coverage outright, but expect your coverage to have limitations that will prevent you from making claims directly related to your preexisting condition. If your coverage includes life insurance, expect similar limitations.For example, if you have a heart problem, they probably will not cover any medical expenses from a surgery, but if you dropped a heavy box on your foot at work, they would cover expenses for a broken toe. Or with life insurance, they probably wouldn't pay out if you died of a heart attack (if you have existing heart condition) but if you were hit and killed by a vehicle at work (God forbid), you would have coverage.Ultimately the decision to cover you, or not, is the insurance provider's to make.
