Moratorium underwriting sets a waiting period for pre-existing medical conditions to limit the insurance risk. This means that:

• You won't need to tell us about pre-existing conditions of any member to be covered when you apply*
• There will be a 24-month waiting period before claims for any pre-existing medical conditions may become eligible.
• Once a member has completed a continuous 24-month period after their start date, their pre-existing medical conditions may be covered, provided they have not had symptoms, needed or received treatment, medication, a special diet or advice, or had any other indications of the condition. This is suitable for individuals or groups where members have no pre-existing conditions.
• The Claims process may be longer, as each time we receive a claim we'll look at the member’s medical history. We may also ask for additional information to understand if the symptom or condition is new or pre-existing.
• This option is available to individuals or groups with 3 to 9 employees.
• Availability of Moratorium Underwriting is dependent on geographical location and the relevant local country regulations in place.

 

Medical History Disregarded, or non-underwritten terms, is when members’ health information is not assessed. This means that:

•  You won't need to tell us about pre-existing conditions of any member to be covered*
• Pre-existing conditions are usually covered. 
• The Claims process is shorter because we already know that pre-existing conditions are covered.
• This option is usually offered to groups with at least 10 employees. 
  

* In all instances, any imminent high-cost treatment or services should be declared before policy inception, if known.

We offer coverage and support for most countries around the world with certain locations supported via specific regional plans. For specific coverage queries, please contact our Sales Team, and they will be happy to assist you.

We generally cover pre-existing conditions (including pre-existing chronic conditions), unless we say otherwise in writing before policy inception. If your underwriting terms are moratorium or CPME/CTT (previously MORI), there will be a 24 month waiting period before claims for any pre-existing medical conditions may become eligible. Once you’ve completed a continuous 24-month period after your start date, your pre-existing medical condition may be covered, provided that you have not had any symptoms, needed or received treatment, medication, a special diet or advice, or had any other indications of the condition.
