Survival Period
The survival period is the number of days you must survive, following the diagnosis of a covered critical illness, before a benefit is payable. The minimum survival period for most covered conditions is 30 days, although some covered conditions require a longer period before benefits are payable.
Waiting Period for Cancer
The 90-day waiting period for cancer means that once the policy is in effect (or reinstated) there is no coverage if you are diagnosed with cancer during the first 90 days. A diagnosis of cancer must be made 91 days or more after the effective date to be covered under the policy.
