Frequently asked questions

What is a waiting period?

All health funds have waiting periods. In short, a waiting period is a period of time you need to wait after taking out your cover before you can receive benefits for services or items covered.

You’re not able to receive benefits for any items or services you might have obtained while you’re serving a waiting period or before you joined Medibank.
