Can I joing a Group health plan even if it is only me?

I hope that you can help me. I am looking for an insurance company that I can actually join as part of a group plan even though I am an individual. I have a hospital/surgical blue cross, but I do need surgery and the pre-e clause is not letting me get it, so I need to be on a group and can show them continous coverage. Any information that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Some states require insurance companies to provide Small Business to self-employed groups of 1, but these are not typically guaranteed issue like most small group health plans with 2 or more members. With a pending surgery, you will definitely need to find guaranteed issue' coverage. And, even if you do find guaranteed issue coverage, there could be a pre-eisting condition waiting period, even on a group plan, for any medical condition that was ecluded from your previous coverage. What state do you live in? The health insurance laws vary from state to state.'
