The Risks of Switching Insurance Providers

The possible pitfalls of moving your insurances from one company to another.

• Loss of Existing Benefits
  Switching insurance providers might mean losing certain benefits that were part of your original policy. These could be unique features that the new insurer doesn't offer, which can be a disadvantage.

• Reassessment of Health
  When you apply for a new policy, the new insurer will reassess your health. If your health has deteriorated since you first took out your policy, the new insurer could charge you higher premiums or exclude certain conditions altogether.

• Loss of Loyalty Discounts
  Some insurance companies reward long-term customers with loyalty discounts or benefits. By moving to a new provider, you might lose these perks, making your new policy less valuable over time.

• Complexity of New Policies
  New policies can be complex, and there’s always a risk of misunderstanding the terms and conditions. You might miss important details that could affect your coverage when you need it most.

5 Reasons to Stick with Your Current Insurer

1. Keep your current benefits intact.

2. Avoid health reassessment risks.

3. Enjoy potentially lower, locked-in premiums.

4. Keep any loyalty discounts you’ve earned.

5. No need to navigate and learn a new, complex policy.

Sticking with your existing insurer can help you avoid these risks and maintain the coverage and benefits you're already familiar with.
