August 20, 2010


A new federally funded health insurance program for people with pre-existing conditions will begin accepting applicants today.

Enrollment in the Illinois Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan starts at 10 a.m. The program, part of federal health-care reform, is open to Illinois residents with chronic conditions who have been uninsured for at least six months. Illinois will receive $196 million from the federal government to provide coverage until Jan. 1, 2014, the date insurers will no longer be allowed to deny coverage based on a pre-existing condition.
