If you need any further medical attention for the same injury, it won’t be considered as pre-existing condition because that is still one policy whose coverage has not finished yet.Non Renewable plan – If you initially purchase the plan which is non-renewable, you have an injury and went to doctor/hospital for medical treatment during coverage period and you pay deductible and co-insurance and company pays the bill according to coverage. After that if you want to extend the plan, you have to buy new policy because this plan was not renewable. Then, you have to meet deductible and co-insurance again. If you need more medical attention for the same injury which occurred during last policy period, it would not be covered because that would be considered as a pre-existing condition because it happened before this policy started.Your previous policy and this policy would be considered as two different policies.
