From your answers, the Insurance Company will decide whether it requires more information about your health. If the insurer does require more information, they are most likely to write, with your approval, to your GP for further information. Dependent upon your health or what your GP reports, the Insurance Company may also decide that it needs a second opinion or an up to date assessment of your health. If this is the case, they will ask you to have a medical.
A medical can take either of two forms; a short visit to your home by the insurers medical representative or a more, in depth, assessment at Doctors/Consultants consulting rooms. In either case, the whole cost of the medical is met by the Insurance Company.
You should know that the medical report is the property of the Insurance Company and you will not have access to its’ conclusions. However, if anything of concern is identified, the Insurer or Doctor will normally let you know.
Finally, we should remind you that you should always be totally truthful when you complete your Application form. If you do not disclose anything they ask you about, or are “economical with the truth”, then any subsequent claim will be invalidated.
