Does the Waiting Period required by an employer before an employee becomes eligible for health insurance count toward the preexisting condition exclusion period?
Waiting periods do not count as gaps in health insurance for purposes of determining whether coverage is continuous. If your employer requires a waiting period, your preexisting condition exclusion period begins on the first day of the waiting period. See also Preexisting Condition Exclusion Period.
