New conditions can receive coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full medical underwriting is when an insurer asks you to provide information about your lifestyle and medical history <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the policy begins so that they know of any pre-existing conditions and can confirm what coverage you can receive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full medical underwriting helps expats know exactly what is and isn\u2019t covered under their chosen plan, and while the application can take longer, making a claim is quick and easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moratorium Underwriting through Bupa<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>Bupa may cover <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/health-insurance-plans\/pre-existing\/\"><b>pre-existing conditions<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that started before the policy <\/span><b>under moratorium underwriting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Expats who haven\u2019t had symptoms, treatment, or medical advice for the condition in the previous two years may receive covered treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moratorium underwriting allows expats <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to not tell<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bupa about health issues before coverage starts. Bupa will ask for your medical history when you file a claim. From there, Bupa can decide if the condition was pre-existing and whether or not to cover it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moratorium underwriting takes longer once claims are submitted but are faster upfront when applying for coverage.
