How to Understand Health Insurance: 3 Documents to Read Before You Buy

2 min 18 sec · 19 October 2026 · nyvo

Brochure, Customer Information Sheet (CIS) or policy wording: this video walks through the 3 documents that come with every health insurance policy and what is inside each one. The brochure runs 1 to 2 pages, with the features highlighted and the waiting periods shown as numbers. The CIS explains the features, how to make a claim and where you can complain. The policy wording, about 60 pages, covers everything from buying the policy to claims, including the fraud, contribution and non-disclosure clauses. It also explains why the CIS and the policy wording are hard to read, and how to get them explained in simple language.
