Before you leave the company and go to a new employer, ask HR about a HIPAA Certificate for your insurance company. This has to do with moving all your records — including those of an existing, covered condition — with you to a new employer’s insurance company.  It means in most cases, they can’t deny coverage for something that was already being covered by a previous insurer.

Dental or vision, or long-term health care may be exempt from HIPAA and there are other time-imposed restrictions. Google it for more info, but get the HIPAA order now.
