If You require cover for Medical Conditions that are not automatically covered above, You may apply for additional cover for that condition.
If your condition meets the automatically covered conditions criteria, there is nothing further you need to do in order to be covered for that condition.
If your condition does not meet the automatically covered conditions criteria, and you want cover for this, you must complete a medical assessment to assess whether we can accept this risk and what, if any additional premium is payable by you, to have that condition specified on your policy.
