Understanding waiting periods
A waiting period is a condition that may apply before a particular benefit can be used. The applicable period can differ between benefits and can also depend on whether a condition existed before the cover started.
The relevant plan document is the source for the waiting periods, exclusions, limits and eligibility rules that apply to your chosen plan. It is important to read that document before applying or arranging treatment.
What to do next
- Check the benefit you need.
- Check whether pre-authorisation or a network provider is required.
- Ask Day1 Health for help if you need clarification before applying.
