Two months ago I decided to stop taking my low dose blood pressure medicine that I had been taking for almost 2 yrs.* I’ve been eating healthier, exercising, losing weight, and taking my bp using a wrist monitor and recording it in a bp diary.* My bp has stayed the same as when I was on the med.* *
I will soon be applying for indiv health ins for my ER.* I realize my bp is a pre-existing condition, so will be excluded from coverage for a certain time frame, but that is fine because I no longer need the med and intend to keep it that way!
My question is this… for the purpose of reporting this on the application for the individual health ins, do I need to go back to the dr for an “official ok” to my stopping the bp med?* Or would this dr visit be viewed negatively because it occurs so soon to applying for the new insurance?
Thank you for your input.
