Under HIPAA if you were covered by health insurance for a sufficient period of time, a new employer's coverage will take over at the end of the probationary period. There won't be a waiting period before coverage starts for pre-existing condition. If there is, an extension of your current coverage may cover your existing health condition -- or you can pay for health coverage under COBRA until the new employer's health coverage starts for you.

If a pre-existing condition waiting period may apply to you solely because you did not have a full 12 months of previous health coverage, see HIPAA -Pre-Existing Conditions
