The reason stated was due to excessive marijuana and alcohol use. March, 2007, I admitted myself to a Drug and Alcohol Rehab facility. I admitted to using alcohol and marijuana. I am clean and sober today. I have no other health issues. I am a 51 year old female. I’ve and 5 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 115 pounds. I get regular physical and do not have anything wrong with me. When will I be eligible under an individual health insurance plan?

You’ll be eligible in 2014 when insurance companies can’t deny people for pre-existing conditions. But, you can expect to pay 2-3 times that of someone who hasn’t been in rehab….but maybe not that much since it’ll be seven years in the past at that point.

For now, you’ll need to turn to your state’s high risk pool plan.

When the insurance exchanges are set up in 2014 you an ask that question to the individual insurance company. However, part of the ACA is that you cannot be rejected for insurance no matter what medical problems you had. You really have to find out when the time comes.

As the other poster said, you can get coverage under your state high-risk insurance plan.
