What deserves attention before you buy?
Coverage, exclusions, sub-limits, deductibles, waiting periods, warranties and underwriting can vary between insurers and policy versions. The policy wording and schedule remain the definitive contract. Novo can help you review the relevant terms for your requirement.
Read the wording, not just the brochure
