When taking out private health insurance or private disability insurance, the insurer does not check whether the insured person has fulfilled all the requirements when the contract is concluded, but only when an insurance claim is made.
The consequences of answering a health question incorrectly or incompletely can be fatal. The insured person is required to pay attention here. Agents or brokers should not intervene in the process.
In the case of fraudulent misrepresentation, for example, no benefits under the contract can be provided. In the case of willful misconduct, the insurer could withdraw from the contract with retroactive effect.
