  When you apply for a new health insurance policy, it doesn't get instigated with instant outcome. The policy comes into effect once a 'waiting period' is over, which varies on the type of insurance and other factors, like age, your medical history and the company. That means, the insurer is accountable to consider any claim amount filed only after this waiting period.
  
  If an individual experience an accident or undergoes hospitalization in the course of the waiting period, the customer may not be covered for a loss as it is subject for review first. As stated before, the idea of waiting period exists across diverse types of insurance policies, and the importance of waiting period may vary varying upon the insurer and the nature of the insurance policy to avoid scam.
  
  Nevertheless, following are the broad pointers of waiting period. There is an primary waiting period of 30 days, which goes up to 90 days in some instances, from the effective date of the policy. Some insurance policies may allow treatment for accidental external injuries with a least of 24-hour hospitalization.
