Pre-existing Condition

define: Pre-existing Condition
Group and individual health plans differ on what they deem is a pre-existing condition. Group plans often consider a pre-existing condition to be any sickness or injury medically treated in the previous 3 months prior to the inception date of coverage. Individual health plans often consider any sickness or injury that appeared in the previous 1 or 2 years to be a pre-existing condition.
