Can you be denied health insurance coverage for smoking, heavy drinking, existing heart condition, cancer, illegal drug use, etc.? Well, yes, yes you can. Doesn't mean it will happen, but it could.
got denied life insurance through the principal group last summer because of it ..... lucky I have 2 other policies
I don't how healthcare can violate the HIPPA laws and tell your employer specific and private information about medical treatment, record, etc. Personally, my doctor leaves our discussion of my AAS use off the record but he orders lab work etc to check my lipids, thyroid, etc. Him and I talk about it but he tells me it's off the record and he says insurance MUST proceed with any and all tests, lab work etc he schedules. They cannot ask him "WHY" as to procedures, labs, frequencies, etc. They do have a cap as to quantity of certain things they will cover and as long as doctor's orders fall under the "Cap", they must cover it w/out question. This was the way my primary explained it to me. He also says, if he were to put AAS use on my record, the insurance would STILL have to pay for anything he orders.
This. They cannot disclose any of your info to anybody, especially your employer. That would be a violation of HIPPA, which is a serious offense. And, nobody has been denied coverage for all sorts of lifestyle risk factors like smoking. An insurance company can choose to not start a policy, but if you already have insurance, they cannot deny medical care because of aas use. If they were able to do this, they would be denying millions of smokers for all sorts of shit.
