How do I disclose a breast lump for Hong Kong cover?

IA says applicants must actively and honestly disclose all critical health information, including information beyond the insurer’s questions. Comparing records with a form does not limit that duty. The record-checking suggestions below apply that general principle; they are not an IA clinical protocol. [C2]

Use the wording in the examination or follow-up records you already hold when checking your application answer. Do not relabel a breast lump as benign on your own. If the form’s choices do not match what you know, ask the insurer how to describe it accurately. This applies IA’s disclosure principle without interpreting your diagnosis. [C1, C2]

Compare the report date, information already available and any known follow-up arrangement with the actual questions. Distinguish a report you have from a result you are still awaiting. Ask the insurer how to record an incomplete answer and whether it needs anything further. This is not a prescribed breast-lump investigation or document list. [C2]

Show the insurer the wording you cannot match to your records and ask for clarification before signing. Do not assume that lacking a final diagnosis answers every question about examinations or follow-up. IA requires active and honest disclosure of all critical health information; this page does not determine how a particular questionnaire applies. [C2]

The official general guidance cited here does not map breast imaging categories to insurance decisions. Compare your submitted information with the insurer’s written response and ask for the exact scope of any exclusion or additional premium. Keep diagnostic interpretation with your doctor and underwriting clarification with the insurer or a licensed broker. [C1, C2]

Should I describe the lump as benign myself?

Use the wording you actually hold and clarify uncertainty; this page makes no diagnostic finding. [C2]

Must every applicant have a medical examination?

No. IA says the insurer decides according to the applicant’s circumstances. [C2]

Does an examination replace health disclosure?

No. The disclosure responsibility remains whether or not an examination is requested. [C2]

What if I am unsure whether a detail matters?

Raise the uncertainty truthfully with the insurer or a licensed broker rather than guessing. [C2]

Can this page predict an exclusion or loading?

The cited pages give general principles, not condition-specific underwriting tables. Obtain the insurer’s written terms. [C1, C2]

Are oral explanations enough to resolve unclear terms?

Ask the insurer directly to clarify the policy wording and keep its response with your application records. [C2]

How should I correct a submitted answer?

Ask the insurer for its correction procedure and retain the revised information; IA stresses accurate disclosure and keeping records. [C2]
