Underwriting and medical disclosure
Health questions, examinations, ratings, exclusions, postponement, and declined applications.
Answer every disclosure question completely and accurately; the insurer may accept you at standard rates, add a premium, exclude a body part, postpone, or decline — and material nondisclosure can void a claim.
Benefits may vary by: insurer · employment status · municipality · household
Get professional or administrator help: Ask for insurer pre-assessment where available, or work with an adviser who can compare underwriting outcomes.

Key points
- Answer only what is asked, but answer it truthfully and in full.
- A pre-existing condition does not always mean rejection — outcomes vary.
- Try standard underwriting before paying more for a relaxed-underwriting product.
- Nondisclosure discovered at claim time can cancel the contract.
Do not guess, and do not hide
If a question is unclear, ask the insurer in writing rather than guessing. Do not omit information the insurer requests. Getting a small exclusion or rating is usually better than a later claim denial for nondisclosure.
