There are three types of medical underwriting when it comes to Company Health Insurance:
With a fully medically underwritten scheme you disclose your past medical history when taking out the policy The insurer then makes a judgement based on the information disclosed as to whether any exclusions are to be added to your plan.
A plan underwritten on a moratorium basis usually states that any medical conditions suffered in the past five years will not be covered for the first two years of the policy.
Should you not suffer any symptoms of that condition during the first two years of the plan, it may be re-included within the policy at the insurer’s discretion. Read our guide for an in-depth comparison between full medical and moratorium underwriting.
If your company scheme is large enough (typically at least between 20-25 members), the policy can be underwritten on a medical history disregarded basis.
With this type of underwriting, there’s no need to declare your medical history, and your employees’ acute pre-existing medical conditions will covered upon joining the scheme.
