Your Essential (MEC Plus!) plan has no pre-existing restrictions for medical services performed in an outpatient setting.

Zion classifies any illness or accident for which a person has been diagnosed, received medical treatment, been examined, taken medication, or had symptoms for 24 months prior to the Effective Date. Symptoms can include but are not

limited to the following: abnormal discharge or bleeding; abnormal

growth; break; cut or tear; discoloration; deformity; full or partial

loss of use; obvious damage, illness or abnormality; impaired breathing;

impaired motion; inflammation or swelling; itching; numbness; pain that

interferes with normal use; unexplained or unplanned weight gain or

loss exceeding 20% of the total body weight occurring within a six-month

period; fainting, loss of consciousness, or seizure; or abnormal

results from a test administered by a medical provider.

Needs that result from a Pre-existing condition that existed prior to a Member’s

Effective Date (known or producing observable symptoms) are only

shareable if the condition appears to be fully cured and 12 months have

passed without any symptoms (either benign or deleterious), treatment,

or medication, even if the cause of the symptoms is unknown or

misdiagnosed.
