Maternity Insurance Waiting Periods

Before obtaining a health insurance plan it is important to understand how waiting periods will affect you.

Maternity insurance coverage will almost always be attached to a waiting period. This is the length of time which you must have held the policy for prior to being able to claim for a specific coverage benefit. Under a maternity insurance policy in China this waiting period will normally be applied in one of two ways:

Waiting Periods from the Start of the Plan

A Maternity Insurance waiting period which occurs From The Start of The Plan will mandate how long you must have been on the policy before you are able to receive coverage under the plan’s maternity benefit.

For example, if your maternity insurance plan in China has a waiting period which occurs 10 months from the start of the policy, then you must have held the plan for at least 10 months in order to receive coverage for any pregnancy related treatment – including the delivery of the child. Pregnancy treatment and Maternity Treatment received prior to the completion of the waiting period cannot be claimed for after the 10 months has expired – only treatment received after completing the waiting period can be claimed for under the policy.

If a plan has a waiting period which occurs From The Start of the Plan then this will usually be around 10 to 12 months from the time which you first purchased the policy. While the actual length of the waiting period will vary depending on the insurance company you choose to work with it is common that From The Start of the Plan waiting periods will not be longer than a single policy year (12 months from the time of purchase).

From the Start of the Plan waiting periods are the most common in relation to a maternity insurance coverage benefit.

Waiting Periods that Last Until Conception

A waiting period which occurs Until Conception will mandate how long you must have been on the policy before you are able to conceive, if you wish for the pregnancy to be covered under the plan.

For example, if your maternity medical insurance plan in China has a waiting period which is levied on an Until Conception basis, and the length of the waiting period is 12 months, then you must have been only the policy for 12 months before you can conceive a child if you would like the pregnancy to be covered under the policy.

Only conceptions occurring after the waiting period will be covered under a waiting period which is placed on the policy Until Conception. Conceiving a child 10 months from the start of the plan will mean that the pregnancy, and consequently the delivery, is not eligible for coverage under the policy if the waiting period is 12 months Until Conception.

All Maternity Insurance policies from China Health Insurance will normally include a waiting period; however the specific details of the waiting periods will tend to vary between insurance companies. As such it is important that you understand the waiting periods on your China maternity insurance policy and plan accordingly.
