No Medical Examinations or QuestionnairesYou are guaranteed cover under our ‘Moratorium Clause’.

This means: NO medical examinations, NO lengthy questionnaires and NO

waiting for medical reports from your GP.

The underwriting process is quick and simple. You can be covered immediately, without delay.

We apply a straight forward exclusion to any medical conditions (or related) that you may have suffered in the last 2 years. Once you go just 2 years from the policy start date, free of symptoms, treatment, medication, tests or consultations for that condition, you will then be covered for it should it arise again.
