Other Considerations

Waiting Periods There is a nine-month waiting period that must be met before benefits are available for pre-existing conditions. (The pre-existing conditions waiting period does not apply to members up to age 19.) By pre-existing condition, we mean a condition, regardless of the cause of the condition, for which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment was recommended or received or for which a prudent layperson would have sought medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment, within the six-month period before the effective date of coverage. The exclusion period will end nine months following your effective date of coverage.

This is a brief summary of benefits; it is not a certificate of coverage. All benefits must be medically necessary. Please refer to the policy for a complete list of benefits, limitations and exclusions.
