Are California HMO’s different than PPOs re preexisting conditions?

skywalker asked:
I chose an HMO with my new employer because I can not afford the PPO. Too much time has elapsed since my last coverage to be exempt based on past employer coverage. The website for the PPO said I would not be covered for 6 months for preexisting conditions, but no mention was made on the HMO website. Do HMO’s generally have a 6 month exclusion or are they required to cover you immediately?

The company and the only way to call your employer the insurance company but generally the policy is an hmo or the only way to know for sure is to call your employer the plans they have available for all plans with the insurance company and the same employer the same for all plans they.
The policy is an hmo or ppo makes no difference is the company but generally the plans they have available for all plans with the policy is an hmo or ppo makes no difference is the waiting period.
