It's possible that some medical treatments may not be covered under Group Health. To make decisions about the health care you receive, you should know which treatments are covered and which are not. Ultimately, the claims administrator will be responsible for informing you if a medical service or supply isn't covered. The following are guidelines for what is considered a "covered expense."
IMPORTANT
There is no preexisting condition limit for medical or prescription drug services. However, there is a waiting period for growth hormones and transplants. (For more information, see "Growth Hormones" and "Transplants.")
If you end employment with King County, refer to "Certificates of Coverage" for information on how your participation in Group Health can be credited against other plans with preexisting condition limits.
