How insurers handle medical history — and why their answers differ.
One insurer may exclude a condition, another may cover it after a clear period, and a third may simply adjust the premium. Comparing across a panel matters most when you have a medical history.
A common outcome is cover for everything except the specific condition — so an old back injury exclusion still leaves you protected against every other accident or illness.
Declaring your full medical history when you apply means your policy stands on solid ground — claims are assessed against what you disclosed, with no surprises later.
