A health insurance policy can be easily canceled. You may be required to contact, fill out an online form, or log into an online portal to tell your provider of your cancellation, depending on your provider.
If you decide to terminate your coverage, your health fund should refund all pre-paid contributions.
You should request a clearance certificate from your current health fund to give to your new fund if you’re canceling your coverage to convert to another health fund. This certificate acts as proof of your health insurance coverage; if you do not give a clearing certificate to your new fund, you will have to go through the waiting periods all over again.
