Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
enfermedad preexistente: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la expresión "enfermedades preexistentes", sin espacio ni guion entre el prefijo pre- y el adjetivo existentes, resulta preferible al sustantivo "preexistencias" en el ámbito de los seguros médicos. [...] el sustantivo "preexistencia" es un término propio de la filosofía. Su uso en el ámbito de los seguros médicos para aludir a las patologías del cliente existentes con anterioridad a la fecha de la contratación del producto no es transparente, por lo que resulta aconsejable emplear "enfermedades preexistentes", giro más claro y asentado entre los hablantes. 3, record 1, Spanish, - enfermedad%20preexistente
