Ask me in 8 1/2 years.

Will you be able to buy insurance in Florida? I had an Individual major medical policy from BCBS in Kentucky for years. When I checked in Fkorida I was refused coverage due to two very minor pre-existing coditions. I decided to maintain my residence in Ky. and Florida as a part time resident. I still have the Ky. BCBS as my health insurance. It is very expensive with high deductable but beats a blank.

Howe does HIPAA work?
