Global Medical Application Process
You will go through an underwriting process where you will be asked a series of medical questions. Depending on how you answer these questions, you may be asked to provide additional details and/or medical records. Once the underwriters have reviewed your file, they will make a decision on your case. They typically will approve your application within 3-5 days, often it is immediate. If you are asked additional questions, the approval may take as long as 2-3 weeks, depending on how quickly you respond to requests for additional information.
If you do have pre-existing conditions, the underwriters will review your medical history and make a decision to either approve your application as is, add an additional premium for the condition, approve your application with an exclusion for the condition, or deny your request. Unfortunately, you do have to apply to find out which of the above will apply to your case.
Once you are approved, you will receive a comprehensive packet of information including your insurance card, certificate of cover, emergency medical assistance contact numbers, and other relevant documentation.
