Introduction
Recently, we read an article on Risk Info NZ about Accuro removing their time restriction for members, and former members, who want to make a claim on their policy. This led us to review if medical providers impose a time limit on their claims. Many insurers have reported that although this clause is present in their wording, they do not enforce it at claims time, however, our stance is that we have to rate based on the policy document.
