Is there a pre-existing conditions clause with COBRA or am I covered?
Yes, COBRA Does Cover Pre-Existing Conditions
There is no pre-existing condition clause that would prevent your from receiving treatment. When you sign up for COBRA, you are actually continuing the same group health insurance that you had with your past employer.
