I'm no insurance expert, but if you have been continuously covered, the new company should pick you right up. (See the "HIPPA?" thread in this forum.)

According to this US government site , which explains the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), your only cause for concern would be if you had gone without insurance coverage for the 63 days (or more) before the new company picked you up.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
