Cancer Survivors' Right to be Forgotten

23 October 2024 | 10:00-12:00 CEST


	In Europe, over 20 million people are estimated to have had a diagnosis of cancer, and the number of cancer survivors is further increasing. To address needs of cancer survivors, several European countries have established a cancer survivors' Right to be Forgotten (RTBF), i.e. the right for cancer survivors to withhold, under certain conditions, a previous cancer diagnosis to an insurer when applying for an insurance policy (e.g. for life insurance as mortgage protection). Furthermore, a European framework is under development. The different jurisdictions, the complexity of RTBF frameworks as well as lack of uniformity pose significant challenges for European L&H insurers. Aspects important are the details and implications of national and European legislations as well as existing industry codes and the differential impact of the various RTBF parameters. This web session aims to give an overview and a deeper understanding of the cancer survivors' Right to be Forgotten (RTBF) and its current development inside and outside Europe. We will discuss the different parameters of RTBF, such as product scope, disease scope, minimum remission period (timeline) and others. We will also provide solutions how to estimate the actuarial impact depending on these RTBF parameters. Finally, its purpose is to help understanding and navigating the most recent developments and implications of RTBF for L&H insurance.
