Best Answer

A waiting period is the period of time before certain procedures are covered under your dental insurance policy. This usually applies to more expensive (sometimes called major) procedures under individual policies like crowns, root canals or full dentures and for orthodontic coverage under group policies. Here are a couple of examples. In the AARP group dental plan there is a one year "waiting period" for gum treatment, full dentures, crowns and TMJ treatment. The Federal Employees Dental Plan has a two year waiting period before orthodontics (braces) are covered.

What does it mean if my divorce says and that the ninety day waiting period as required by statute has elapsed what does that mean?

When the ninety day waiting period has elapsed that means the divorce is final and absolute. The parties are free to marry someone else if they wish. Generally, there is a waiting period after a divorce decree has been entered. If the couple reconciles during that period the divorce is nullified and the couple remains legally married. Some couples reconcile, most do not. If another marriage is contemplated by either party it must wait until the divorce becomes final.
