Quality Product Research: Diabetes Mellitus (Adult) – Part Two

Following on from our previous blog post regarding Diabetes Mellitus, we would like to clarify that in the case of Type 2 Diabetes, insurers do not seem to pay out upon diagnosis of this condition. The insured would need to display severe complications such as irreversible retinopathy, diabetic gangrene and/or neuropathy to be eligible for a claim payment. Type 1 is less defined, but most insurers offer partial payments upon diagnosis once the insured person is over 30.

We have therefore renamed this item to “Severe Diabetes” to reflect these related complications. 

We value getting your feedback on how these wordings are being applied to claims you may be aware of. Please email us with details of any recent claims to help us update our understanding.
