Illinois State Health Insurance Plan not starting till late summer

With the new health care reform, states were to have set up high-risk health insurance pools for individuals with pre-existing conditions that could not get coverage in the private market.

This pool was to be in effect on 6/1/2010, but Illinois has yet to establish.

Individual's eligible for coverage must have gone without health insurance for the past 6 months in order to apply.

Currently, Illinois has always had The Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan (ICHIP) for high-risk insured's.  There were 4 types of coverage available, and depending on coverage there is  a 6 month waiting period for coverage on pre-existing conditions.  There is no current requirement to how long you have been without health insurance for.

For more information please feel free to contact The Shoppe.
