FAQ’s What is the Pre-existing Condition Period?

September 2, 2006 By Damian Tysdal

This is the number of days that the insurance company will “look back” from the day the insurance was purchased, to see if your claim is related to a pre-existing medical condition.

For example: You go to the doctor on Jan. 1st with complaints of chest pains. 39 days later you are traveling and suffer an actual heart attack. If the insurance has a 90 day pre-existing condition period, your doctor visit would fall within it and they would consider the heart attack a pre-existing condition.
