		<description>The only time you should be penalized for a pre-existing condition is if their is a gap in your coverage.  If there&#039;s a period in between switching ins where you do NOT have coverage then yes sleep apnea is a pre- existing diagnosis. Most of the time you will have to provide documentation to your new isns company that you have not had a gap in coverage.
You sould be okay to switch.</description>

		<description>Loaded question.  Yes, it&#039;s a pre-existing condition, but seeing as how you&#039;re switching from one employer group to another, the new carrier cannot exclude coverage for it.</description>
