If the policyholder receives no treatment during the moratorium, the condition may be reconsidered for coverage. # Cover the condition by increasing the plan premium. This may not be applicable for all pre-existing conditions. # Cover the condition under a Medical History Disregarded benefit (MHD), which is typically only available to group coverage where 20 or more members are enrolled.
