Health notification is an important step when purchasing insurance, which directly affects the smoothness of subsequent claims settlement. This article will start fromInforming principles, common misunderstandings, and operating techniquesThree aspects are developed to help you fully understand how to complete health notifications in a standardized and truthful manner. First of all, it is necessary to clarify "Tell the truth ≠ tell everything”, the point is to followlimited notification principle, that is, only answer specific questions raised by the insurance company to avoid excessive disclosure; secondly, you need to be wary of misunderstandings such as "concealing medical history" or "self-diagnosis"; and finally, analyze practical methods through cases.

1. Core principles of health notification: limited notification

According to Article 16 of the Insurance Law, policyholders are required toContents of the written inquiryAnswer truthfully, but do not volunteer any medical history that was not mentioned. For example, a critical illness insurance questionnaire asks "whether you have thyroid nodules." If you have not been diagnosed and only the physical examination report shows "abnormality", there is no need to inform you. However, if the diagnosis is clear and the conditions of the questionnaire are met, disclosure must be made. The key points are:Use medical records as the basis to avoid subjective guessing. Some products will indicate a time range (such as "hospitalization history within the past 2 years"), and medical history beyond the time limit may not be disclosed.

Common misunderstandings in health notifications include:Confusing "symptoms" with "disease"(such as occasional headache ≠ migraine),Missing abnormal items in physical examination(Some companies will obtain physical examination reports),Ignore the retrospective period. For example, Ms. Wang did not disclose her breast hyperplasia 5 years ago when she applied for insurance, but because this medical history was directly related to the claim for late-stage breast cancer, the claim was refused. It is recommended to sort out before purchasing insuranceOutpatient/hospitalization records, physical examination reports, medical insurance card usage records, check each item against the questionnaire, and consult a professional consultant if necessary.

For uncertain health status (such as ungraded pulmonary nodules), the nature of the disease can be clarified through a physical examination before taking out insurance.
