Preparing for your examination

Preparation is key to ensuring accurate exam results and a favourable health rating. Some steps you can take include:

24 Hours Before the Exam: Avoid alcohol, caffeine, high-sugar foods, and over-the-counter medicines. Keep a photo ID accessible.
8 Hours Before the Exam: Fast for at least 8 hours to ensure accurate blood sugar readings. Stay hydrated, avoid excessive activity, exercise, and smoking.

What happens if the exam reveals a health issue?

If the insurance medical exam identifies a previously unknown health issue, the insurer may:

Postpone making an offer until further investigations are completed
Offer a policy with a higher premium or exclusions
Decline the application in some rare cases

You may also be advised to follow up with your GP. You will generally be notified of any findings that are clinically significant.

Navigating post-examination expectations

After the exam, it’s natural to be curious about the results’ impact on your application. While the outcome is beyond your control, we encourage you not to dwell on it excessively. Underwriters’ perspectives may differ from yours, and minor health concerns might not significantly impact your application. If results raise concerns, insurers may request a retest for accuracy.
