Fred should apply for the HMO during an open enrollment period. HMOs are prevented from denying a member for pre-existing conditions during open enrollment. When an HMO offers open enrollment they usually do so for a period of 30 days as mandated by state law.. During this time HMOs cannot reject an applicant for health reasons. Note this is only the case during times of open enrollment. Other times, an HMO can deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.
