Rhode Island. I have been working in the same company for over 10 years. Three years ago, I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. It was detected early so I didnt' need chemo or radiation. Hopefully that is behind me, however....
I am beginning to interview for other jobs. If I do get another position and if I did get a recurrence of breast cancer, is it possible my new insurance may not cover me, as it was pre-existing? How can I find out before I accept another job as it is not a topic one likes to disclose up front? Last week, one of my interviews was at an insurance company, and this issue came up (not with me) but I'm not sure how to handle this and I definitely don't want to change jobs and not be covered for any future problems I may have.
