Waiting Period

A waiting period is a delay before your insurance plan will begin covering a specific dental procedure. Waiting periods typically apply to expensive treatments such as crowns, root canals, or implants. During a waiting period, the insurance company will not pay for any claims on procedures that are subject to the waiting period.

A waiting period is an attempt by an insurance company to avoid scenarios where consumers wait to pay for insurance until they need an expensive procedure.
