It depends what type of membership you have.
If your membership is on an 'occurrence basis', you can ask for our assistance as long as you were our member at the time of the incident that caused the claim.
This applies even if you are no longer an MDU member, have retired, stopped practising or are on a break, such as parental leave. Your estate can even ask for our help after your death.
This does not apply to the following membership types:
- if you work in general practice in England and Wales and the incident occurred during a period of transitional benefits membership and you have not purchased extended benefit rights
- if you are a SpecialistSelect member
- if you are a PracticeCare member.
Your renewal documentation will include more information about the type of membership you have.
