Waiting Period

The waiting period is the time between signing up for a Medigap or Medicare private health plan (Part C) and the start of coverage. Waiting periods for Medicare-related benefits are most often imposed if you have a pre-existing condition and have not had creditable coverage for a certain amount of time.
