Classic Choice: Pre-existing Condition Waiting Period

Benefits will not be provided for any pre-existing condition until a member has completed a waiting period of at least 6 months. A pre-existing condition is defined in the contract as “An illness, injury, pregnancy or any other medical condition which existed at any time preceding the effective date of coverage under this contract for which: Medical advice or treatment was recommended by, or received from, a provider of health care services; or symptoms existed which would cause an ordinarily prudent person to seek diagnosis, care or treatment.”
