Your questions about health insurance
How do I compare health plans?
Compare eligible services, annual limits, waiting periods, provider arrangements and the amount you would pay yourself. A lower premium may come with different benefits.
Will existing medical conditions be covered?
This depends on the insurer and policy terms. Disclose your medical history and ask about exclusions or special conditions before choosing.
Can I include my family?
Some arrangements offer dependent cover. Ask about eligibility, age limits, premiums and whether benefits are shared or separate.
What documents should I prepare?
Bring existing benefit details and any information the insurer requests. Medical questions and additional documents vary by application.
