Risk assess­ment for life and health insurance

When you apply for life and health insurance, you need to fill out an application where you will need to answer questions regar­ding your health, family history, and whether you engage in any high-risk acti­vities.

All applications go through a risk assess­ment with us. The risk assess­ment follows strict procedures and is cont­inu­ously reviewed based on advancements in the field of healt­hcare sciences. The procedures are not accessible to applicants.

During the risk assess­ment process, it may be necessary to obtain further information about your health from your doctor or healt­hcare facility. However, this is never done without obtaining your signed consent. Health exam­inations may also be necessary in some cases.

The result of the risk assess­ment can lead to special terms, higher premium or rejection of coverage.

Here, you can see what factors can influ­ence the outcome of the risk assess­ment. The list is not exhaustive.
