Life Insurance Claims Support Fund
This fund covers financial support for up to $5,000 as follows:
- Payment of legal fees or other professional services to progress a challenge of any declined life insurance claims.
- We will match the first $1,000 of any legal or professional fees you pay and EIS will pay up to $4,000 in addition to that.
- The legal resource or other professional resource must be chosen by EIS. Payments will only be made to this person and not you.
- The fund will be available after a claim has been declined at an insurer and the insurer’s internal and external claims dispute process have both resulted in the decline being retained after you have progressed this with our support.
- The fund will only be available if EIS, in its sole discretion, believes the claim is valid and there are no issues regarding nondisclosure, eligibility or other matters that would support the insurer’s decision.
- The fund will be available in good faith where EIS believes there is a reasonable chance the claim declinature can successfully be challenged and you have complied with all our instructions.
- A claim must have a potential payment of over $20,000 to enjoy support from the fund.
- The fund can only be used by a client once ever.
Terms and Conditions: These terms commence and are current as at Oct 2022. The terms can be removed at any time with 6 months continuation once terminated. Advice on termination will be made via our website if ever cancelled. Other terms and conditions such as those for the dental peer support service apply as per the advertised service promoted elsewhere by EIS. The package only applies to policies where the life insurance policy commenced from advice given by EIS and implemented by EIS and is currently inforce. It does not apply where a policy is taken over from another adviser other than EIS. It only will apply to claims for new illnesses or injuries or claims events since we are the broker on the policy and occurring after the policy commenced and whilst the policy was in force.
