Easy conclusion of contract
All you need to do is get in touch with us or one of our insurance agents and arrange a meeting. During the meeting, we will discuss the plans available as well as clarify any ambiguities.
Constant care
We guarantee constant care from our insurance agents. If you’re diagnosed with a critical illness that meets our policy definition, all you need to do is contact us. We will help you with all the formalities.
Exclusions and restrictions
Your illness might not be covered. There is a list of conditions covered by the insurance. You may also find you won’t be covered for pre-existing conditions. It also depends on the severity of the illness, so you’d need to check the full definition in your policy document before making a claim. Critical illness cover will only pay out if you’re diagnosed with certain serious illnesses during the lifetime of the policy. If you pass away, then the policy ends and policy wouldn’t pay out.
Under certain circumstances the policy cannot be applied or its scope will be limited. But don’t worry – our agents will discuss all such events with you.
