Best Answer

It depends upon the elimination period in your policy. The elimination period is the length of time stated in the policy that you must be disabled before benefits begin being paid.

Sometimes the elimination period is shorter for accidents than for illnesses. You would also have to consider the reason for the surgery (was it brought on by an accident or sickness?).
