Question of The Week
Question:
I have pre-existing conditions so isn't it safer to purchase a policy with no medical questionnaire?
Answer:
No, because claim denial is associated with all three types of policy structures: medical questionnaire, non-medical-questionnaire and change of health clause. With non-medical questionnaire, insurers insert potentially deleterious eligibility and exclusionary clauses. If you misinterpret or overlook them, the insurer can retroactively void your contract. You agree to terms contained in the policy wording when you pay your premium. With pre-existing conditions, it is best to seek the assistance of an experienced broker who will advise you as to what is covered and what is not. You may be eligible for a rider to cover unstable conditions.
