Frequently Asked Questions: Group Medical Schemes
How do corporate wellness programs impact medical scheme renewal premiums?
Schemes that implement preventive wellness screenings, chronic disease management, and mental health awareness experience lower claim loss ratios, enabling Slate to negotiate competitive renewal premiums.
Can dependants and extended family members be covered under the company scheme?
Yes. Schemes can be structured to cover the employee, legal spouse, and recognized dependent children (typically up to age 18 or 25 if in full-time university education).
Why Partner with Slate Insurance Brokers for Group Medical Insurance Schemes in Zambia?
Navigating the Zambian insurance market requires more than purchasing off-the-shelf coverage. Underwriting terms, average clauses, warranties, and deductible structures vary significantly across local and regional insurers. As a licensed insurance broker registered with the Pensions and Insurance Authority (PIA), Slate acts exclusively as your independent fiduciary advisor:
- Impartial Market Benchmarking: We solicit competitive quotes across Zambia's premier insurance companies, comparing premium rates, excess structures, and claim settlement track records to ensure you receive optimal value.
- Bespoke Policy Wording & Endorsements: Standard underwriter policies often contain restrictive warranties and exclusions. Slate negotiates tailored policy wordings, eliminating restrictive clauses and expanding coverage boundaries to protect your specific operational risks.
- Dedicated Claims Advocacy: In the event of a loss, we manage the entire claims process on your behalf. From appointing certified loss adjusters to challenging unfair depreciation deductions and fast-tracking settlement approvals, Slate ensures you receive fair, transparent, and prompt compensation.
- Annual Portfolio & Valuation Reviews: We conduct proactive annual risk audits and asset valuation reviews to protect your policies from underinsurance and the application of the average condition during claims.

To ensure full enforceability and prevent dispute during claim settlements, policyholders must adhere to standard underwriting disclosure and risk management guidelines established by the Pensions and Insurance Authority (PIA) and the Insurance Association of Zambia (IAZ):
- Principle of Utmost Good Faith (Uberrima Fides): Accurate disclosure of all material facts, prior loss history, operational exposures, and physical security measures is mandatory during proposal submission.
- Statutory Risk Audits & Warranties: Ensuring all operational premises, commercial vehicles, and industrial plant maintain valid statutory certificates (e.g., local fire certificates, RTSA fitness tests, pressure vessel inspections, and building occupancy permits).
- Currency & Premium Settlement: Policies can be denominated in Zambian Kwacha (ZMW) or US Dollars (USD) to match underlying asset replacement currency and eliminate foreign exchange loss exposure during international equipment sourcing.
- Premium Payment Warranty (Cash-and-Carry Rule): Under Zambian insurance regulations, cover is validly bound upon the agreed receipt of premium or formal broker credit terms, safeguarding policyholders from unexpected policy cancellations.
Slate Insurance Brokers conducts regular risk management reviews with clients across Lusaka, Ndola, Kitwe, and throughout Zambia, guaranteeing ongoing compliance, cost efficiency, and peace of mind.
