HIPAA-Health Insurance Portability When You Change Jobs--There Doesn't Have to Be a Gap in Your Health Insurance
Coverage During The Pre-Existing Conditions Waiting Period
Next » « Previous2/4
Most health insurance policies include a provision known as a Pre-Existing Conditions Waiting Period that postpones coverage for health conditions which started before the effective date of the new coverage. Pre-existing condition exclusions extend for up to 12 months and, in some cases, longer.
While a pre-existing condition exclusion is in effect, any new health conditions are covered, but not expenses relating to pre-existing health conditions.
There are three different ways that you may be covered for your pre-existing health condition during a Pre-Existing Conditions Waiting Period: HIPAA, COBRA and through extensions.
