Can another exclusion period be applied by my new group health plan?
It depends on how much creditable coverage you have. If you were subject to a pre-existing condition exclusion period in the past, it does not itself prevent you from having another one applied now. If you only have a little creditable coverage, a pre-existing exclusion period may still apply to your new coverage.
