By Bill DeBoer on Mar 10, 2016, 9:36:00 AM
If you have health insurance coverage and plan to move to another provider, you may experience a waiting period before your new provider will cover certain procedures. If you know this in advance and you will need one of those procedures performed before the required waiting period, if you’re wise, you’ll schedule the procedure so your existing policy covers it.
