No, a mammogram is a test used to check for breast cancer, it is not a condition at all. Preexisting conditions are medical conditions you had prior to entering a health plan such as hypertension or diabetes. A mammogram is a test, not a condition as stated. To deny someone medical insurance stating that the mammogram they had was a preexisting condition is just a way these health insurance plans try to reduce the amount they have to pay on claims only wanting you to pay into them.

For example, if you had already been diagnosed with Diabetes, high blood pressure, back injuries, ulcers or Cancer and they didn't find these out during your pre-job physical (in which case, they probably wouldn't have hired you), these are considered preexisting illnesses, and the insurance company can refuse to treat these diseases or they can make you pay full price for you prescriptions and they can make you wait up to nine months before they will pay for the treatments of these illnesses.

is pregnancy considered a pre-exsisting condition for medical coverage

Usually you won't be denied coverage outright, but expect your coverage to have limitations that will prevent you from making claims directly related to your preexisting condition. If your coverage includes life insurance, expect similar limitations. For example, if you have a heart problem, they probably will not cover any medical expenses from a surgery, but if you dropped a heavy box on your foot at work, they would cover expenses for a broken toe. Or with life insurance, they probably wouldn't pay out if you died of a heart attack (if you have existing heart condition) but if you were hit and killed by a vehicle at work (God forbid), you would have coverage. Ultimately the decision to cover you, or not, is the insurance provider's to make.
