Pre-existing Limitation: A Pre-existing Condition is an injury, sickness or pregnancy for which the employee, in the past three (3) months, before the effective date; received medical treatment, consultation, care, services, prescription medications or had medications prescribed. No benefits would be payable under the plan in connection with a disability that is due to a pre-existing condition unless the employee’s elimination period started after they were insured under the plan for twelve (12) consecutive months.
