How to apply for cover
When you have decided what cover is suitable for you, all you need to do is complete an application form. The form can be downloaded from www.bellwoodprestbury.com/expatmedex and forwarded to us either by e-mail, fax or post along with your payment instructions. We ask you to give only basic information about yourself and any members of your family you wish to insure; we will not ask you to give details of your medical history. Your new policy will not cover treatment for any medical condition which existed prior to the start of cover. This relates not only to those conditions for which you had already received a firm diagnosis but also to treatment of any medical condition for which you actually had symptoms, even though no diagnosis had been attached to those symptoms. All that matters is that you know, or ought reasonably to have known, that something was wrong even if you had not consulted a doctor. However, after a two-year period of continuous cover has elapsed, cover may be available for those pre-existing medical conditions which were excluded at the start of your new policy. This will be subject to the written agreement of the plan underwriter and on the basis that you have not had any medical treatment or any medical advice, or taken any drugs or medicine, or followed any special diets.
Over 60 If you are over 60, you will be asked to complete in a simple health questionnaire. Contact us today and we will guide you through the process of applying for cover.
