(a) Pool coverage shall not exclude charges or expenses incurred for longer than the first twelve (12) months following the effective date of coverage as to any condition for which during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the effective date of coverage medical advice, care or treatment was recommended or received. The preexisting coverage limitation set forth in this section shall not apply to a federally defined eligible individual.
