Common questions about Partners Life health insurance

Will my premiums go up each year?

It depends on what policy you select. Traditional stepped premiums do increase each year on your policy anniversary. Level premiums do not increase with your age for a specified period of time.

Am I locked into the cover for a certain period?

No. If you cancel your policy in the first 14 days your premiums will be refunded. After the 14 day free look period you are able to cancel your cover at any time.

How can I pay my premiums?

You can choose your method of payment you prefer e.g., Credit card, monthly Direct Debit or Cheque.

Do I have to pay on fortnightly basis?

No. You can choose your payment frequency i.e. weekly, fortnightly, monthly or on an annual basis.

Are medical tests required?

In most cases no medical tests are required. Each application is considered on an individual basis. If you are required to undergo any medical test they will be paid for by the insurance provider and at no cost to you.

Can I apply directly with the insurance providers for cheaper cost?

No. Most insurance providers prefer to work through intermediaries like us rather than dealing directly. We don’t mark up policies. In fact, we guarantee your premium is the same as going direct.
