I'm looking for help with a complicated medical insurance coverage situation. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Here's the overview:
- I am an American citizen (currently in the US) with a chronic health condition that requires daily medication and occasional visits to see a specialist.
- I recently accepted a job in Melbourne; it's a 2-year position starting June 2014.
- The Australian 457 work visa application requires proof of medical insurance.
- Australian health cover plans all have a 12-month waiting period for pre-existing conditions, and I need my condition covered.
- US health cover plans only cover emergencies internationally.
- International health cover plans do not cover pre-existing conditions.
Does anyone out there have a similar situation? Thanks!
