What is the hesitation period of long-term health insurance?

The Measures for the Administration of Health Insurance clearly stipulates that long-term health insurance products with a term exceeding 1 year shall have a contract hesitation period, and the rights of the insured during the hesitation period shall be clearly defined in the insurance clauses, and the hesitation period shall not be less than 10 days. The new measures have been implemented for a week. Yesterday, the reporter interviewed 10 citizens who have purchased health insurance and 65438 citizens who have not purchased health insurance. Only two of them said they had heard of the "hesitation period", and none of them had. You can avoid going back on your word.

According to reports, the hesitation period refers to a period of time within 10 days from the date when the insured receives the policy. The insured can unconditionally request the insurance company to refund the premium, and the insurance company shall not deduct any fees except the maximum cost of 10 yuan. However, for investment-linked insurance, if the asset value of the investment account decreases during this period, the reduced part shall be borne by the insured. However, many insurance agents often avoid the insured's right to inform when selling insurance, including the "hesitation period". After the customer asks for surrender, some insurance agents use the excuse that surrender procedures are too cumbersome; Some even proposed to deduct some fees.

The Measures for the Administration of Health Insurance is equivalent to clarifying this practice in the form of legal provisions, which is of great benefit to the vast number of policyholders. In view of the problem that some policyholders can't make good use of the "hesitation period", the relevant person in charge of Shenzhen Insurance Industry Association put forward the following suggestions: after receiving the policy, the policyholder must fill in the policy receipt in person, because the insurance company's identification of the "hesitation period" is based on the date of receipt; At the same time, the insured should negotiate with the insurance company to change or surrender the insurance as soon as possible during the "hesitation period" to avoid unnecessary losses.
