The answer depends on a few factors. If the self-obtained insurance is a HIPAA compliant plan (Creditable Coverage) and the gap between the two plans is less than 63 days, you should be able to avoid any pre-existing conditions caluses in the new employer's coverage.

I think that will be your primary exposure. 30 page explanation from Dept. of Labor on HIPAA Portability http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/pdf/consumerhipaa.pdf
