HR tips

  • Keep health questions minimal and relevant, and restrict access to the completed form
  • If an employee opts out, record the reason and the other policy number
  • Re-collect declarations every renewal rather than relying on old records
  • Explain in plain words that dependants not declared will not be covered

Frequently asked questions

What is a mediclaim declaration?+

It is a signed statement confirming who you want covered under the company mediclaim, any health conditions you need to disclose and whether you agree to premium deductions.

Can I opt out of company mediclaim?+

Only if your company policy allows it. Where allowed, you typically sign an opt-out declaration and give details of your alternative cover.

Do I need to declare my personal health insurance?+

It is good practice. If you have more than one policy, insurers may ask about other cover during a claim.
