Waiting Period in Health Insurance

jaspreet1991

As we become older, we all have a list of things we want to do before then. We prepare, strategize, and then implement our strategies in order to achieve our goal. The importance of financial planning cannot be overstated, but many of us fail to plan for healthcare costs.


Our health is being harmed by a sedentary lifestyle and a preference for bad diet, and young people are increasingly falling victim to lifestyle-related ailments. Since health care costs will be a constant throughout your life, the best course of action is to get a comprehensive healthcare plan. However, there are several constraints and clauses in Health Insurance plans, one of which is a Waiting Period. These questions and answers will help you understand what a Health Insurance Waiting Period is.


What is a 'Waiting Period?'?

When a policy holder is eligible for benefits under their Health Insurance Plan, they must wait a set amount of time. There are times when an insured must wait before receiving coverage for a certain sickness or treatment. During the Waiting Period, the insured may not be eligible for benefits. The following are some typical waiting periods that most insurance companies adhere to:


General Waiting Period:

All illnesses have a 30-day waiting period from the date the coverage begins. This Waiting Period is sometimes referred to as a Cooling Period. Except covering claims emerging from an accident, any claim arising from a condition for which signs/symptoms, consultation, investigation, treatment, or admission began within 30 days of the policy's starting date.


Pre-existing Condition Waiting Period:

For all pre-existing conditions stated and/or accepted at the time of applying for a Health Insurance Policy, a certain Waiting Period is specified.


Waiting Period for certain diseases and surgical treatments:

Certain illnesses and surgical operations are subject to a 24-month waiting period, which is detailed in your policy language document.


Waiting Period for Maternity Benefits:

Certain insurance companies have a waiting period for maternity benefits ranging from 9 to 36 months from the commencement of the policy.


Prior to purchasing a Health Insurance Policy, it is critical to study the fine print and dig into the facts. Understanding the Waiting Period before your Health Insurance benefits begin to kick in is a necessary component of knowing about Health Insurance terms. Therefore, live life on your terms and according to your goals, but remember to purchase Health Insurance while you are still young and have age on your side. This will enable you to take use of the advantages of your Health Insurance Policy as soon as possible, rather than having to incur medical bills on your own due to a lengthy Waiting Period clause.
