Iowa’s Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan
Posted 11 August 2010
HIPIowa-FED, a new health insurance pool that will accept uninsured Iowans who have pre-existing health conditions, is now accepting applications. 

“We’re very proud to offer an insurance pool for Iowans who are otherwise unable to obtain insurance because of a pre-existing condition,” Culver said. “Until these kinds of exclusions are subject to the new rules in the federal health reform bill, which does not become effective for several years, it becomes our duty as a state to make sure Iowans have access to the ongoing care they need at a cost that does not lead to financial ruin for their families.” 

As specified in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which created funding for states to establish and operate pools for uninsured residents, certain conditions must be met to qualify for acceptance. An applicant must:
  • Be a citizen or national of the United States or lawfully present in the United States,
  • Have been uninsured for at least six months prior to making application, and
  • Have had a problem getting insurance due to a pre-existing condition.
The pool offers members a $1000 deductible policy. Premiums for members will range from $177.64 per month to $739.45 per month, depending on the applicant’s age and whether or not the applicant is a smoker or non-smoker. Persons interested in applying are encouraged to promptly begin the process of acquiring, completing and submitting an application. 

Applications are available online now at www.iid.state.ia.us and soon will also be posted at www.hipiowa.com. Iowans may also request an application by calling the administrator of HIPIowa-FED toll-free at 877-505-0513. Any licensed health insurance agent may also access this information.

The Goal of Dubuque 24/7 is to provide the most up to date information possible!
