Waiting periods is a term used in the health insurance industry.
It is a time you may have to wait before you can make a claim,
but remember with GloHealth you are covered immediately for accidents or
injuries.
While waiting periods can feel confusing they are actually pretty straightforward.
There are two basic rules for waiting periods.
One set of rules apply if you are switching to GloHealth from a different
provider
and another if you are new to health insurance.
If you're switching to GloHealth from another insurer and you have already
served your waiting periods with that insurance company,
you will be covered right away at the same level of cover.
No waiting periods will apply.
If you switch to GloHealth while you are still serving waiting periods with
another insurer - don't worry - you won't lose out on waiting periods you have already
earned.
If you are upgrading your level of cover when you switch to GloHealth waiting
periods will apply for the upgraded benefits.
Again, the waiting period section has all the information you will need.
If you haven't had a health insurance contract before you'll need to serve
initial waiting periods after joining.
How long? - depends on your age when you join.
Check out the waiting period section on our website to see which waiting periods
apply to you.
