FAQs
Will a pre-existing condition stop me getting cover?
Not always. Many people receive standard terms or modest premium loadings, depending on the condition and how well it is controlled.
Do I need to disclose all medical history?
Yes. Full disclosure is essential. Non-disclosure can lead to claims being declined.
Can a broker help with difficult cases?
Yes. Brokers can match you with insurers that have more flexible underwriting for your condition.
Are results from this checker guaranteed?
No. They are indicative only. Final decisions are made by insurers after full underwriting.
