Does California offer programs to access health coverage for individuals with a pre-existing condition?
Yes. There are a limited number of ways to access health coverage with a pre-existing condition. Some states have Major Risk Pool programs, health coverage programs for children, infants and mothers. In California the Governor appointed a board called the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board (MRMIB) to administer three programs. For more information about MRMIB, go to http://www.mrmib.ca.gov.
