We are looking at moving to Belgium and will need an insurance that allows pre-existing conditions. My husband may work as self-employed (engineer) or he may choose to work as a permanent employee.
1. Is there an agent/broker that can work with us?
2. Do all insurance companies have to provide for pre-existing?
thanks

You posted the same question in the Netherlands forum. Are you moving to NL or to BE ?

I did a Google search and it seems that most insurance companies will not cover pre-existing health conditions. There a few who will but there is a 2 year period where you cannot claim for those conditions and the premiums are very high. And there are some conditions they will not cover at all.
