Tailoring your insurance

How much cover you need depends on your individual circumstances. Although employer-sponsored members receive Default cover, it’s a good idea to assess your actual insurance needs, and adjust your insurance accordingly.

It pays to review all your insurance from time to time, to be sure that it changes with your needs.
