I am 28 years old and recently found out I had Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis at age 3. I have individual insurance and did not list arthritis when they asked about medical history. My JRA went into remission and I never even knew about it. I am now having knee pains and am worried that it could be rheumatoid arthritis. Will my previous JRA count as a pre existing condition and prevent further treatment from being covered by my policy? Also, is it very likely that my JRA has developed into RA? I am researching as much as I can, but I haven't been able to find answers to these questions yet. Thanks so much for your help.Post this in the regular RA forum. That is where everyone posts. We have several JRA'er's there too.
And I honestly think the answer is yes. It will be looked at as a pre-existing and will not be covered. :(
