WRLife Health Insurance

[Chris Setchell]

I know this has been discussed before but just want to hear if anyone has had current experience with WRLife as I have. My situation is that I have been with them since March this year, then saw an article about them being a Brokerage only, which I followed up with them & they advised that their main Health cover is with AIS ( http://assitinter.com/main/ ). Now as I am 72 years old my , followed up AIS only to be informed that they do not cover people over 70 years old & when I contacted WRLife, through numerous emails did not get the answer as to how they could get cover. I have not made a claim & have not seen anyone's remarks where they have & been declined. If anyone has had issues would be great to hear!

I'm with them through AA Insurance maybe you could ask them.

[scubascuba3]

I think they take anyone, even Quasimodo passed all tests with flying colours. Quizz AA they need to supply enough evidence

What is important for you is not who they mainly use but who your policy is with.

 

Did you not receive a policy document??

And does it state anywhere who the insurance company/underwriter is? Prior poster seemed to say he had no idea who (which insurance company) his policy was with.

As with every other time you have asked this question, NO.

By the sound of the op you aren't covered over 70 anyway, of course only if you claim

I was 71 when my claim was paid.

Maybe an oversight, low level of claims at that point

Yes. Must've been an oversight. I guess they can pull that over 70 shell-game if they can't otherwise find some pre-existing condition reason to deny the claim.

OP was referring only to a specific insurer (he says AIS, but I can't find any insurer by that name except for a US company that insures within the US, and the link he gives does not open so maybe there is a typo.) and while this is stated to be the "main" insurer WRLife uses it is presumably not the only one.

 

Note that the ages which a company will insure and the age at which they will newly insure, are not the same thing. A company might newly enroll people only up to age 65 or 70 but continue to cover them for life. What is the case with the stated insurer ("AIS")  I can't say as I don't know who can't find a health insurance company by that name (other than in the US) and the link does nto open. 

 

@Chris Setchell   have you typed this link correctly? Doesn't open for me.

Yes similar companies when making travel insurance claims

I talked to AIS when making my claim for WrLife -- you know the one they couldn't deny based upon pre-existing conditions because it was from an accident.

 

But they would have had, at least for me, a hard time denying any claim of mine based upon pre-existing conditions  as I had no pre-existing conditions. In fact I just filled out a life insurance application a month or so before applying to WrLife as below,. And my life insurance policy was accepted.

That's right, you could take them to court, what court would that be? what country?

Didn't WrLife say recently that all policy holders over 6 months would be covered for pre-existing conditions.

Is it in your policy document? if not don't bank on it

It is not in my policy because I took that out in February, but I have email from Mr Lorentz, the CEO, saying that I am covered. Whether that is legally binding is anyone's guess.

I shall ask him for an updated policy document. Will let you all know the answer.

Interesting. Isn't No.6 rather silly asking if husband or wife has been diagnosed with things?

Crazy question. What if you have any family members who have already died from one of those diseases?

You didn't say what answers you put to get it approved.

If you say Y then premium would be higher, if you say N then claim denied. Everyone pretty much dies from one of those things

I only just realised that those questions were for a life insurance policy, not health insurance or WRLife!

The hospital gave all the answers.

That was for a life insurance policy.

 

So when the WrLife application form asked for :

 

MEDICAL PREEXISTING CONDITIONS (IF ANY):
past or present sickness, past surgery,
medicine taken:
 

I had just provided a complete medical history as to the life insurance form so I already had it for WrLife including 15 years of no claims with BUPA & CIGNA Global.

Or else the life insurance company could deny the claim by just proving you aren't dead.
