MEDICAL QUESTIONNAIRE

A client with an excluded medical condition may be eligible for the medical questionnaire.

Following the health declaration step, the sales portal will indicate the medical conditions for which a medical questionnaire can be offered. Note that the medical questionnaire is not mandatory and that your client can refuse to have it completed by their doctor. If so, the medical condition will remain excluded.

  • The questionnaire can only be offered when indicated on the sales portal.
  • The medical questionnaire must be completed by the client’s attending physician.
  • Professional fees are the client’s responsibility.
  • No additional costs and no premium to be paid.
  • Certain medical conditions could be covered following the medical questionnaire assessment.
