Every insurance policy has a waiting period. This is the amount of time that you have to wait before you can get reimbursements. At Helan, the waiting period is limited to just six months. Pregnancy and childbirth are exceptions, for which a waiting period of up to nine months may be applicable.

But emergencies don't always obey laws, of course. Do you need urgent medical care after an accident? In such cases, the waiting period is waived. And if you had a similar policy before you joined, the waiting period will be waived as well.

Every hospitalisation insurance application requires completing a medical questionnaire, and this is also the case for Helan's insurance policies. In this questionnaire, we ask questions about your medical history.

For certain medical conditions, a medical report will be requested after you complete the questionnaire. You can obtain this report from your GP or consulting physician, and submit it to the health insurance fund. This will be used to decide whether you will be assigned an insurance restriction for this pre-existing medical condition. We recommend that you always fill in this questionnaire truthfully. If the medical questionnaire contains inaccuracies or is incomplete, reimbursement will be refused.
