Why This Matters
Policy eligibility, exclusions and benefit limits control payment. Reimbursement cannot exceed eligible care costs after the waiting period. The model assumes level premiums and the stated pre-claim benefit-growth convention. The care episode includes the full benefit period plus the waiting period. It does not recommend a policy.
