Your first question for your parent's insurer should be whether or not you qualify for COBRA coverage. Under COBRA, a dependent losing coverage due to loss of dependent status, such as in your case, qualifies for 18 months of coverage after the "qualifying event" (i.e. loss of dependent status).

If you don't qualify for COBRA because your parent's employer is too small to offer it, you should contact your state's insurance commissioner's office to see if there's a state version of COBRA that will extend your coverage.

If your parents have a policy they purchased on their own, or if your state doesn't have continuation laws for small employers, then you'll have to purchase your own policy.

In that case, call your state insurance commissioner's office and ask about your HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability) options. If you have enough "creditable coverage" under your current plan, you can purchase a plan that has no pre-existing condition exclusions; or you may be able to join the state's "high risk pool." Your options depend largely upon your state's laws.

There are programs out there but they will cost you a lot to cover your meds, and it might actually be cheaper to just pay them yourself! Did you know that all pharm companies have programs in place for the uninsured? I think prozac is made by Pizer (I could be wrong!) but anyway, contact Pizer and get on their program and you could get your meds for free! It just takes some initive and calling around! Good luck, I've been in your shoes before!

Ask your doctor for sample meds.
Go on the internet and search for insurance. You most likely will not get insurance on your own that covers meds.

In most states your best option is to get on a group health plan through your employer. In most state your Rx will be exclude as pre-existing. If this is the case you might look at a HSA (Health Savings Account) http://www.dentonhealthinsurance.com/hsa.html to pay for you RX. Another option is to get a Medical Discount card http://www.ahcodirect.com/15236/

Unfortunately I doubt you will find any insurance company that will cover your pre-existing conditions. You will have to get a job with a company that has group health coverage to get those covered.

Go to the state and ask about health insurance programs. They will guide you in the right direction.

Well, that could be a problem. If you didn't already have issues, I'd say, go to a local, independent agent and get some quotes for health coverage. BUT, you have issues, so they're pretty much all going to decline to give you a policy.

You can still try a local agent, but they're not going to cover the preexisting conditions.
