Waiting period
The scheme says you were still inside a waiting period when the service was rendered.
Words you might see
- “a waiting period applies”
- “condition-specific waiting period”
- “general waiting period”
Questions to ask
- Which waiting period was applied, when did it start, and when does it end?
- What previous cover did the scheme take into account when imposing it?
- Please provide the certificate of previous membership the scheme relied on.
- Does the scheme apply that waiting period to emergency treatment, and how was that assessed here?
Details to have ready
- The date your membership started.
- Which scheme you belonged to immediately before, and for how long.
