Scan Medical Insurance

Can I be turned down for medical insurance through my job for having bad credit?

I work for a doctor in private practice. There's only 3 of us, the doctor, his assistant and myself. He told me today that he'd get me an application for the medical insurance. Will my terrible credit rating prevent me from getting the insurance? The insurance is Blue Cross/Blue Shield through his Chamber of Commerce. The doctor doesn't know about my bad credit rating. Thank you! :)

1. No. Health insurance does not run your credit score.
2. No
3. Home and auto insurance rates are often affected by bad credit. In health insurance neither qualification nor rate level is affected by your credit standing. Whew.
4. No, you cannot.
