Good luck on finding health insurance it was the most difficult part of our move.
Ladydoc and lovetotravel are correct. Get ready to have insurance agents hang up on you, even the independent insurance agents at LSL are of no help. I suggest that you contact you health carrier and tell them you are interested in moving to florida, do not say you have moved or they will cancel you immediately. Ask if they have a conversion plan. Be sure to follow all the instructions to the letter at every turn there is a problem that I encountered.
These are just a few of the many problems I encountered!
From current carrier one customer service person, ... no we can't fax anything
to you, (I was told that by 3 different people) until I reached a supervisor and she said "of course we can fax the letter to you"
*your insurance expires 3/31 so on 4/1 you have to call during office hours to request another form*
* fl insurance, call on 3/1 between business hours to request form from us, if you can only have one day to request form fill out and fax back.
*prepare to be on the phone and don't trust anyone you talk with*
*please mail form with your attached check for 2,800.00 to the accounting department*
*with that done, the check was cashed the form was trashed*
more phone calls, had to fill out another form and fax, get on phone confirm that they received forms.
get names of all parties involved, keep accurate records of conversation, make copies of all forms, follow up on all calls emails and faxes get names of parties involved and document you conversation do not miss a step otherwise it is over.
Now I have insurance for about $1,000/mo.
Good luck
