There is a 12-month waiting period for pre-existing conditions. A pre-existing condition is a condition for which an ordinarily prudent person would seek medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment; or for which you incurred medical expenses, received medical treatment, used a prescription drug or were advised by a physician to receive treatment during the six months prior to your effective date. If you are accepted, preexisting condition is waived for conditions disclosed on your application. |
