Acute Pre-Ex Coverage


Acute Onset Of A Pre-existing Condition & Emergency Medical Evacuation For Acute Onset Of A Pre-existing Condition

You are covered for an acute onset of pre-existing conditions that occur after your coverage start date and while you are outside your home country if you receive treatment within 24 hours of the sudden and unexpected recurrence. Coverage is available for eligible medical expenses until the condition is no longer acute or you are discharged from the hospital. This benefit covers one acute episode per pre-existing condition. It also covers emergency medical evacuation as shown in the schedule. This benefit does not cover known, scheduled, required, or expected medical care, drugs or treatments existent or necessary prior to your period of coverage.

An Acute Onset of a Pre-existing Condition is a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence of a pre-existing condition which occurs spontaneously and without advance warning either in the form of physician recommendations or symptoms. A pre-existing condition that is a congenital condition or that gradually becomes worse over time will not be considered an acute onset. A pre-existing condition will not be considered an acute onset if during the 30 days prior to the acute event you had a change in prescription or treatment for a diagnosis related to the acute event. This benefit does not include coverage for known, scheduled, required, or expected medical care, drugs, or treatments existent or necessary prior to the coverage start date.

What is a Pre-existing Condition? It is any medical condition, sickness, injury, illness, disease, mental illness, or mental nervous disorder, regardless of the cause, including any congenital, chronic, subsequent, or recurring complications or consequences related thereto or resulting therefrom that with reasonable medical certainty existed at the time of application or any time during the 12 months prior to the coverage start date of this policy, whether or not previously manifested, symptomatic, known, diagnosed, treated, or disclosed. This specifically includes but is not limited to any medical condition, sickness, injury, illness, disease, mental illness, or mental nervous disorder, for which medical advice, diagnosis, care, or treatment was recommended or received or for which a reasonably prudent person would have sought treatment during the 12 months immediately preceding the coverage start date of this policy.
