Dealing with Life Insurers - Reports, Opinions, and Confidentiality
At MIPS, we strive to support members holistically with a comprehensive educational program that equips them with the most up to date industry knowledge, best practices, and risk management approaches.
Through our medico-legal advisory service, we often receive queries from members about how to deal with life insurers and patients who have medical conditions that they might need to disclose to their life insurer.
This webinar follows on from our previous webinar about independent medical assessments and will touch on similar issues and dilemmas. We hope that this event will equip you with a practical understanding about the basics of life insurance, the role of medical information in life insurance and understanding how to navigate circumstances where patients may have obligations to disclose information to insurers.
