  In addition to our Irish Life Data Privacy Notice, the following is more detail relating to your personal health information that we collect and use in connection with this plan contract. We need your relevant personal information and personal health information for underwriting decisions. This will determine whether we can offer cover and on what terms. We also need your relevant personal health information to assess and pay claims. If relevant, we will share your personal health information with reinsurers for underwriting and claims decisions. We will use your personal information for any subsequent applications to Irish Life. In addition to the personal health information we collect from you, we will request and receive your relevant personal health information from health professionals, and share your relevant personal health information with health professionals, if needed.
  
  Material Facts
  
  You must tell us all relevant information when answering all of the questions. If you do not, or if any answers are not true and complete, we could treat the plan as void. This includes disclosing tobacco consumption or use of nicotine replacement products including e-cigarettes. If you fail to reveal all material facts there will be no cover under the plan, we will not refund the payments and we will not pay a claim.
  
  A material fact (relevant information) includes anything that would likely influence the assessment and acceptance of an application for insurance. If you are not sure whether something is relevant, you should tell us anyway. If there is anything not covered by the questions on this form that you think we should know, please tell us in the section ‘Additional Information’. We may also contact you if we need to ask you for further information on your answers or as part of any subsequent claim. We will rely on what you tell us and we will not automatically clarify or confirm any information you provide.
  
  If your health, circumstances, or answers to any of the questions in this application form change between the date you apply for cover and the date your application is accepted, you must let us know immediately as failure to do this may result in a claim being refused.
  
  Genetic Test Information
  
  You should not tell us about any genetic test (that is, any analysis of chromosomes, DNA or RNA to detect genetic abnormalities in individuals) which you may have had. You must however, tell us if you are having treatment for, or experiencing symptoms of, a genetic condition. You will be asked for full information about your family history, including all genetic conditions.

- Section 6: Medi-Phone Information
- Further details via Medi-Phone call – from time to time, Irish Life may require more medical or risk-related information. If this is the case, you will be contacted by telephone by a nurse working for Morgan Ash Ltd. (a specialist company who carry out the phone calls on Irish Life’s behalf) to obtain more information regarding your medical history.
- This will help Irish Life process your application more quickly. It is essential that you provide all requested information regarding your medical history. This telephone call will be recorded and will form part of your application for cover.
- What is Medi-Phone?
- Medi-Phone is an interview over the phone. We use it to gather medical or ‘risk-related’ information when you apply for life assurance cover. Risk-related information might include details of your current health, past medical history, family medical history, occupational risks and sports or hobbies.
- How does Medi-Phone work?
- All phone calls are made by qualified nurses who work for MorganAsh (a specialist company who are conducting the interviews on behalf of Irish Life).
  
  They will first ask you to confirm some personal information, as a security check and to ensure confidentiality and that you are comfortable to undertake the interview at that particular time. After this, they will ask you relevant questions to gather the health information we need.
  
  1. Details of any medication you are currently taking (name and dosage).
  2. Details of any past or present medical conditions suffered.
  3. Details of any tests or investigations, e.g. blood pressure, cholesterol tests. You may like to phone your GP or whoever did these tests, to get the results.
  4. You may be asked for your height and weight. If you do not know your weight, please try to weigh yourself prior to the interview.
  5. It is helpful to think about your recent medical history, for example in the past three years, did you visit the doctor or have you missed any time off work? If so, why and what medication did you receive?
  
  The call will be recorded and will be a permanent part of your application for cover. Calls should take approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
- Once we have gathered the relevant details as part of the Medi-Phone call, a skilled Irish Life underwriter will assess the information and, in most cases, make a final decision on whether we can accept your application.
  
  Halligan Insurances will then write to you to communicate this decision. In certain circumstances we may require some further medical evidence from your doctor and/or from yourself. You will be advised if this is necessary.
  
  A copy of the interview will be sent to you for your records. If you need to change anything, or would like to add anything to the report, you can make the amendment, sign it and return it to Irish Life in the Freepost envelope provided with the report.
- What are the advantages of Medi-Phone over getting the information by paper?
- 1. We tailor each interview to you and your personal circumstances making the process easier and quicker than completing a standard application form.
  2. It may be more convenient for you.
  3. We can get better quality information on your health history.
- What happens if I do not want to discuss my medical details over the phone?
- This is not a problem. Following a Medi-Phone call, if you are not happy providing your medical details over the phone, we will post you the relevant forms for your completion.
  
  You can then post these forms back to Halligan Insurances. If you have any questions in relation to this please contact Halligan Insurances on 01 879 7100.

If you have call barring on your phone, please arrange to allow MorganAsh to phone you, or you may like to call them on the above number.
