Question
QUESTION: I have a question. I was exposed to the hepatitis c virus.(I found that out 6 years ago).
I test positive on the anti-body test. Within the last 6 years, I've had 5 PCR tests. They all came back non-detectable. My doctor says my body rid itself of the virus (20% of the people who were exposed to it get rid of it). I still test positive for the antibodies.
I am healthy. My liver functions are normal.
Is there a health insurance company that insures people for health insurance in my situation?
If not, how could I find one?
I don't want to apply to a health insurance company and then they find out (with a blood test) I test positive for the hepC antibodies.
I'm afraid that will go on my MIB (medical information bureau) record.
thanks for the help and information.
Answer
Hi Ed!
Unfortunately every insurance company is different so unsure. Most insurance companies do not require a blood test so they would not find out but some do ask if you have a pre-existing condition so that may fall under that.
Good Luck!
