Medical Insurance policies will typically deal with pre-existing conditions in one of three ways:
# Exclude the pre-existing condition from coverage, but offer other benefits as usual. # Place a 24 month moratorium (or waiting period) on the coverage of the condition. If the policyholder receives no treatment during the moratorium, the condition may be reconsidered for coverage. # Cover the condition by increasing the plan premium. This may not be applicable for all pre-existing conditions. # Cover the condition under a Medical History Disregarded benefit (MHD), which is typically only available to group coverage where 20 or more members are enrolled. There are no industry wide standards for dealing with pre-existing conditions, and each insurance company will provide coverage, or not, in their own way.
