Renewal

The review and continuation of insurance into a new policy period on the terms accepted for that period.

By Bene · Last reviewed 23 October 2026

Continuing with the same insurer does not mean every benefit, premium or condition stays unchanged. Request the proposed terms and compare them with the current contract.

Ask how pricing is determined for the product. Income’s portfolio-underwritten FlexCare is an example where an employer’s own claims are not the sole pricing basis.

Use Bene’s renewal timeline as a planning aid, then work backwards from the actual insurer deadlines. Confirm acceptance and cover dates before treating the new period as in force.
