Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan
In March of 2010, Congress passed and President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act - the new health insurance law. The law creates a new program - Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) to make health insurance available to you if you have been denied coverage by private insurance companies because of a pre-existing condition.
PCIP provides comprehensive health coverage, including primary and specialty care, hospital care, prescription drugs, home health and hospice care, skilled nursing care, preventive health and maternity care. The program is available in 50 states and the District of Columbia and open to U.S. citizens and people who reside in the U.S. legally (regardless of income) who have been without insurance coverage for at least six months, and have a pre-existing condition, or have been denied health insurance coverage because of a health condition.
This program may be able to help you, if you’ve been locked out of the insurance market, until 2014. In 2014, you will have access to affordable health insurance choices through a new competitive marketplace called an Exchange.
Check out the State Plans page to learn more about how the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan works in Arizona.
The PCIP call center is open from 8 am to 11 pm, Eastern Time. Call toll-free 1-866-717-5826 (TTY 1-866-561-1604).
