Subject to all the other terms and conditions, such claims are covered if the person's Medical Practitioner can confirm in writing that at the time you bought this policy, he/she would have seen no substantial likelihood or his/her patient's condition deteriorating to such a degree that this would become necessary. If the Medical Practitioner will not confirm this, your claim is not covered.
