AMII is pleased to announce the first AMII member to pass the new AMII/CII IF7 healthcare insurance examination
Brian Walters from Regency Health (an appointed representative of Premier Choice) is the first individual to have sat and passed the new Association of Medical Insurance (AMII) / Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) IF7 examination introduced from 1 July.
Walters sat the examination in Bristol, then travelled up to join the AMII Annual Conference in Hinckley, Coventry to receive a special award to mark his success from AMII's General Secretary, Michael Payne, at the evening's Gala Dinner.
The examination consists of 100 multiple choice questions and covers seven key areas:
The structure of the UK healthcare insurance market
Key features of healthcare provision in the UK and overseas
Healthcare product types
Different roles and responsibilities of intermediaries and providers
Applying risk assessment, rating and underwriting considerations
Applying the claims function
Applying legal and regulatory considerations.
Michael Payne said, "Brian has made history by being the first person to successfully sit our new examination. Interest shown in the coursework and exam across our industry has been very encouraging and we look forward to hearing about many more successful candidates over coming months."
Brian Walters added, "I'm fully behind AMII's drive to professionalise our sector and I wanted to demonstrate that by taking the exam on the day it launched. This is a positive development for our industry that can only help to promote consumer confidence and bolster our message that private medical insurance is best purchased with specialist advice".
