Insurers will no longer be able to take into account a cancerous pathology to refuse a request for guaranteed income insurance from January 1, 2022. A binding code of conduct for companies that are members of the professional association of insurance companies, Assuralia, will enter into force on that date. The conditions of this “right to be forgotten” are clearly defined. A period of 10 years must have elapsed since the end of the successful treatment without further treatment being necessary. The only exception is treatment of the type of preventive hormone therapy that may have been followed during the 10-year period. In addition, no relapse may have occurred during this 10-year period, and the candidate-insured may not have been incapacitated for work during these 10 years as a result of his cancerous pathology.
