Medical Aid Details
- You will not be entitled to claim a benefit for a period of 12 months from the start date of your policy in respect of a medical condition for which in the 12 months preceding the start date of your policy medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment was received or would reasonably have been recommended.
If you fall pregnant before the start date of your policy this will be regarded as a pre-existing condition and any pregnancy and birth-related claims will be excluded for a period of 12 months from the start date of your policy.
If, immediately before the start date of this policy, you were insured under a medical expense shortfall policy with similar benefits to this policy, then the pre-existing condition waiting period will only be applied to the unexpired part of the pre-existing condition waiting period in the previous policy. The pre-existing condition waiting period will apply for a period of 12 months for any benefit not provided under your previous medical expense shortfall policy.
