Here's an update just in case someone runs across the same problem.

Wound up changing jobs, but not insurance companies. New company offered insurance with SOS International, and they thought (but weren't sure) they could get the pre-existing conditons covered. But, I also checked with BUPA, the provider from the old company, and I could just continue that policy and pay the premiums under individual cover. So, that's what I wound up doing, just keeping my old coverage and paying the premiums myself. I figued this way if I wind up changing jobs again, or going to consulting then the insurance won't be an issue.
