Dit is wat een verzekeringsdeskundige me net terugschreef:
"In de verzekeringswereld doen wij onze uiterste best het zo moeilijk mogelijk te maken voor mensen om te begrijpen wat ze nu eigenlijk kopen ;-) In dit geval geloof ik inderdaad dat ‘doorberekenen’ het juiste woord is." Ik denk dat het een verbastering van doorberekenen is. Blackmail als doel lijkt me wat vergegrepen voor onze Nederlandse cultuur, maar verdoezelend taalgebruik is natuurlijk prima.

This might be taken to mean that in light of the previous sentence the premiums will be recalculated taking all risk factors into account in setting the premium rate, i.e. the rate will remain the same (hence they will not be imposing additional charges) because where the premium was previously low due to low risk factors and high for high risk they are now going to retain the same premium for everyone (but I would personally seek clarification from the client) on these points.

(i.e. due this circumstance) -- but the last part of this trio must be regarded as an interpretation (Dutch texts often require considerable reading between the lines).

Thanks. IMO the logic of the source text is (a) our rates and conditions are intended to enable us to correctly assess risks, but (b) due to the legislation we are no longer able to do this, and (c) we will not impose any additional charges as a result...

Here is the Dutch text which comes before the sentence in question:
"De door Delta Lloyd ontwikkelde tarieven en voorwaarden zijn afgestemd op het juist kunnen inschatten van de risico’s die uit het verzekeren voortvloeien. Als gevolg van de Wet op de Medische Keuringen mag een verzekeraar geen onderzoek meer doen naar de gezondheid van (aspirant) deelnemers en is dan ook niet meer in staat de uit de verzekering voortvloeiende risico’s te beoordelen. In afwijking van ons beleid zullen wij hier geen kosten voor in rekening brengen."

logical connection to the sentence beginning 'In deviation from our...' is far from evident. What is the Dutch source text?

13:44 Dec 3, 2008 

The source text as given seems to be internally contradictory: first it says that the rates and conditions are designed to enable correct risk assessment, and then it says that the risk cannot be assessed, and as Texpertise has pointed out, the...

continuing: multiply the other risk factors together to arrive at a much higher tariff for the insurance? This is just a guess on my part. You will have to see if it fits your context.

When the insurance company say "we will not charge any costs for this", do they mean for the proposer to undergo a "voluntary" medical examination because without it they cannot properly assess their risks of the policy and they will therefore multiply

That's the end of the section unfortunately. It then goes on to another matter.

11:28 Dec 3, 2008 

I'm as puzzled as you are. Maybe one or two sentences following the requested one may throw some light on it?

11:23 Dec 3, 2008 

the preceeding text is as follows:
"The rates and conditions developed by XXXXXX have been geared to allow one to correctly assess the risks associated with the insurance in question. As a result of the Medical Examinations Act, an insurer may no longer carry out investigations into the health of candidate participants and is therefore no longer able to assess the risks which follow from the insurance. In deviation from our policy, we will not charge any costs for this.

This algebra term usually denotes "multiplying through" the various parts of an equation. This does not seem to fit your context. Please give more context unless something like "all factors of the tariff are multiplied through with each other" makes sense
