Declaration by Applicant
I, the undersigned, hereby declare:
1. That I understand that this is an Accident and Health policy with stated benefits in terms of the Short-term Insurance Act 53 of 1998 and not a Medical Scheme product.
2. The sharing of claims information and underwriting information by Insurers is essential to enable the insurance industry to underwrite policies, assess risks fairly, reduce the incidence of fraudulent claims and protect the public interest in terms of limiting excessive premium increases. I hereby waive any right to privacy of any insurance information provided by me or on my behalf, in respect of any insurance policy or claims I lodge. I also consent to this information being disclosed to any other insurance company and/or verified against other legitimate source or a database.
3. I specifically consent to Sirago Underwriting Managers (Pty) Ltd contacting my current Medical Scheme and/or medical practitioner to verify any medical details as provided in my application form. I further consent to such information being disclosed to Sirago Underwriting Managers (Pty) Ltd for purpose of verifying the disclose as provided on my application form.
4. As part of the claims validation process, the services of a contracted third party is used in order to authenticate medical scheme membership, plan option type, relevant beneficiaries and agreed medical scheme option tariffs amongst other relevant information to validate the claim.
5. Sirago reserves the right to call for additional information of a clinical nature. In the event that Sirago requests a PMA (Post Medical Assessment) from my doctor as part of the claims assessing and authentication process.
6. I authorise Sirago Underwriting Managers to negotiate with service providers on my behalf for my medical claims and or bill and pay the provider directly.
7. In the event of a bereavement related claim the Insurer will pay the benefit into the principal or nominated beneficiaries account. The beneficiary must be noted on the policy prior to any loss. The insurer will require the full name, surname and ID to note the beneficiary. At the time of a claim the insurer will require the beneficiary’s ID and proof of bank. Should there be no beneficiary noted on the policy prior to the loss or should the insurer be unable to confirm the identity of the beneficiary, payment will always be made into the principal policyholder's account.
