Is pregnancy ever considered a pre-existing condition?
In terms of insurance coverage...
Yes, for private form insurance policies and short term disability policies.
I do not know what the laws on pre existing conditions are currently but back in the 1980s when I be pregnant if you conceived before the insurance went into effect consequently it was considered a pre existing condition. The pregnancy and deliver would not be covered but the child would be covered from the first minute of birth. I had this ensue with my 2nd child. The best thing to do is to name the human resources manager at your husband's place of employment if that is who he is getting his insurance through and ask.
Congratulations.
A limitation or exclusion of benefits for a condition base on the fact that you had the condition in the past your enrollment date in the group health plan. A pre-existing condition exclusion may be applied to your condition just if the condition is one for which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment be recommended or received within the 6 months before your enrollment date contained by the plan. A pre-existing condition exclusion cannot be applied to pregnancy (regardless of whether the woman had previous coverage), or to genetic information in the malingering of a diagnosis. A pre-existing condition exclusion also cannot be applied to a newborn or a child who is adopted or placed for adoption if the child has form coverage within 30 days of birth, adoption or placement for adoption and does not later hold a significant break in coverage. If a plan provides coverage to you through an HMO that has an affiliation time of year, the plan cannot apply a pre-existing condition exclusion. A pre-existing condition exclusion can not be longer than 12 months from your enrollment date (18 months for a late enrollee). A pre-existing condition exclusion that is applied to you must be reduced by the prior creditable coverage you own that was not interrupted by a significant break in coverage. You may show creditable coverage through a ticket of creditable coverage given to you by your prior plan or insurer (including an HMO) or by other proof. The plan can apply a pre-existing condition exclusion to you only if it has first given you written identify. If your plan has both a waiting period and a pre-existing condition exclusion, the exclusion begin when the waiting period begins. In some states, if plan coverage is provided through an insurance policy or HMO, you may own more protections with respect to pre-existing condition exclusions.
Answers: Luckily for group health zilch is considered a pre-existing condition when joining an existing group. Just make sure you don't delay contained by signing up for his health plan, you only own 30 days from the qualifying event, which is getting married.
