What is Moratorium Underwriting?
This is a common form of underwriting used by PMI companies in the UK, it covers each individual under a PMI policy excluding any medical conditions that have been treated with advice, treatment or medication in the five years preceding the beginning of the insurance.
If all treatment, including medication, ceases after 2 years then your cover will resume for that condition. However some insurers will not cover some pre-existing conditions unless you specifically design your policy to cover them. Specialist policies are available for cancer cover.
Moratorium Underwriting is a quicker application process so your cover will start sooner after your initial application.
