What is Health Insurance for Pre-Existing Conditions?
PEDs or Pre-Existing Diseases refer to medical illnesses or health issues that an individual already suffers from before applying for a health insurance plan. Some of the most common examples include high blood pressure or diabetes, as well as chronic diseases such as arthritis or thyroid disorders. The waiting period can be from 24 to 48 months, depending on the severity of the physical condition and the risk you face due to the PED.When you apply for insurance, it is the responsibility of your health insurance provider to carefully evaluate your medical history and understand the level of risk. Based on the assessment, the insurer offers the premium, coverage, and waiting periods. There is a common misconception that PEDs make you ineligible for health insurance. This is partially incorrect because you need to ensure that all the information is properly disclosed to the insurer while purchasing the insurance policy.
