Tele-interview - Your Questions Answered

Why are Tele-Interviews used? You may be contacted by telephone by a qualifed nurse working for MorganAsh Ltd (a specialist company that carries out the phone calls on Irish Life’s behalf) to obtain information on your present health, lifestyle, occupation, and the medical history of you and your family. Irish Life engages MorganAsh to carry out these interviews for them and the information gathered is only used by Irish Life and no other organisation has access to this.

Tele-interviews are used because: - They enable Irish Life to tailor medical questions to each applicant.
- They enable Irish Life to obtain a clear understanding of your health in order to risk assess your application more quickly and offer you the best possible terms in insurance.
- Many applicants fnd them more convenient than attending a medical examination.

The information you provide will be treated in the strictest confdence, and will be used only in the assessment of your application or in the event of a claim. With this in mind, the nurse will ask you to confrm your personal information, as a security check and to ensure confdentiality and that you are comfortable to undertake the interview at that particular time. After this, they will ask you relevant questions required to process your application.

Instruction It is essential that you provide all requested information regarding your medical history. This telephone call will be recorded. It will form part of your application for cover and, if accepted, will form the basis of your insurance contract with Irish Life along with any other medical information obtained by Irish life. Therefore, all the questions should be answered fully and honestly, as failure to do so could invalidate your cover and any future claims.

When will the tele-interview take place? You will be contact normally within a day or so of submitting your application form to Irish Life to arrange a suitable time for your interview. If, when you are called, it is not a convenient time, then just ask to re-arrange to a more convenient time.
If you have not been contacted within 3 working days, or have been away or out of touch you may like to phone MorganAsh on free-phone 1800 80 50 22. If you have call barring on yout phone please arrange to allow MorganAsh to phone you, or you like to call them on the above number.
When you schedule a time for your interview, you will be given an hour’s time slot and you should get a call in the frst 30 minutes of this hour. If you are not free to answer the questions when called, the nurse will be happy to arrange a more suitable time for the interview to take place.

The nurses are able to undertake interviews from:
- 9am to 9pm Monday to Thursday.
- 9am to 7pm on Fridays.
- 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.

It is important that you are in a confdent environment and able to speak freely and have the time to spare to complete the interview. The interview takes on average 30-60 minutes to complete. MorganAsh will not complete an interview if you are driving.

What do I need to prepare? If a Tele-Interview is deemed necessary by Irish Life then you application for insurance cannot be processed until the interview has taken place. To prepare for your interview, please take some time to gather the following information and have this to hand when you receive the call:
- Details of any medication you are currently taking(including name and dosage).
- Details of any past or present medical condition suffered (other than very minor ailments such as the common cold).
- Details of any tests or investigations, eg blood pressure, cholesterol tests.
- Details of any serious conditions, such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, suffered by a member of your immediate family (your mother, father, brothers or sisters).
MorganAsh will ask for your height and weight. If you do not know you weight, please try and weigh yourself prior to the interview.
- It is helpful to think about your recent medical history, for example, in the past few years, did you visit the doctor or have you missed any time off work? If so, why and what medication did you receive.

What if I do not wish to discuss my medical details over the phone? If you are not happy providing your medical details over the phone, please advise MorganAsh when they call you or contact Irish Life who will post you the relevant forms for your completion instead. 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.

What happens after the Tele-interview? You will be sent a transcript of the call to check and ensure that the information is complete and accurate. Although a little time consuming, it is in your best interest to undertake this task with due care. If you are aware of inaccurate or incomplete details or of any changes required to the report, you are required to amend the transcript and return it to Irish Life.
