When choosing health insurance and providers, it be worth shopping around to see if your cover is still competitive. But if you intend to switch insurers, be careful. If you have already made a claim on your original policy, future claims for related conditions may not be covered by the new insurer. However, some insurers will accept you on the same underwriting terms. Even if this costs extra, you may still end up paying less than before. Here are some of the key players.
