My Quest for Coverage&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/94710/wellriverwalk'&gt;WellRiverwalk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I recently started working for myself and have had many "What did I get myself into moments".  I most recent one was my quest for individual coverage. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have always been insured and have been an insurance company's dream.  Healthy, never go to the doctor, don't believe in prescription medications, active, normal blood pressure and cholesterol and not a smoker.  Well this all changed when I found a spot on my chest that didn't seem to heal.  During my check up with my dermatologist, she saw it, removed it and all is well.  No big deal.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Until I get a call from the provider in reference to my application.  I explained that the spot was removed, all is well and I am now a lifelong supporter of sunscreen.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Well, I received my denial of coverage letter today.  I am filled with so many emotions and wonder what the heck is wrong with our world?  I thought Insurance Reform had passed and I thought it would never be anything that would ever affect me.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;How is this right?</summary><published>2011-11-09T07:24:42Z</published><updated>2026-11-05T00:16:35Z</updated><author><name>WellRiverwalk</name><uri>https://www.wellness.com/user/94710/wellriverwalk/blogs</uri><email>support@wellness.com</email></author><link rel="alternate" href="https://www.wellness.com/blog/23955/insurance-reform-my-quest-for-coverage/wellriverwalk" /></entry></feed>
