Critical illnesses can affect the most carefully laid plans for families and careers. The financial and emotional costs associated with such serious situations can create unforeseen and even insurmountable obstacles. A Critical Illness Insurance policy can help you save for the rainy days.
Well Link Life's Well Protect Critical Illness Insurance Plan ('the plan') is designed to provide reasonable critical illness coverage at affordable premium. Providing coverage for more than 100 Critical Illnesses and Early Stage Critical Illnesses, the plan also enables multiple Cancer claims to as much as an extra 400% of the sum insured.
After the Critical Illness Benefit is paid, the plan allows 4 additional claims for Cancer4 (including persistent Cancer, metastasis or recurrence of a previous Cancer and new Cancer), each claim with 100% of the Sum Insured payable. This Multiple Cancer Claims Benefit will cover the Life Insured up to age 85.
Note: The period between the dates of diagnosis of the Critical Illness (other than Cancer), or of the preceding Cancer and the subsequent new Cancer must be at least 1 year. For recurrence of Cancer, metastasis or continuation of relevant preceding Cancer, the period between the dates of diagnosis for the preceding Cancer and the current Cancer is at least 3 years.
