Hi
I'm up for a new tenure-track prof job obviously with health insurance. I am lucky to have a what is mild (or benign, though I know that is a phrase that many say is not accurate) MS diagnosis.
I am currently on some sliding scale and assistance programs, both for Tec and at a public health facility.
With my understanding that Obamacare saying no one can be denied due to pre-exist condition, if I get this job, I can't be denied health insurance, right?
Also, I read another post here on this issue, and want to be sure. I'm going to have to disclose MS and needing Tecficera (50k year) to the health ins. company. That paperwork is not seen by employer, right? I send it direct to the health company and they are only one that see it?
Again, according to another post here, the company is going to be able to see the claim for 50k for Tec, right? Do they see the date? Will they be able to tell it was me who was hired in August? Or how much info can they see?
I understand it's illegal for jobs to fire based on med condition, but as another poster said if job is only 5 people, they could say any excuse if they didn't want premiums to go up. But this is a medium sized university. Will they be able to pinpoint it and use as reason for not giving me tenure?
