Can I make a claim for the same illness more than once?
Yes. The multiple claims system of this critical illness rider works like a reducing balance.
You can make multiple claims across various severity levels of the same or different Critical Illness, up to 100% of the Face Amount.
That means, your agreed sum assured when you first applied for your insurance. With that said, the higher your Face Amount, the higher your premium.
Depending on the severity of your medical condition, Manulife CI Early Advantage will provide critical illness coverage for all 3 levels of severity:
- Severity 25 - This is a 25% payout of your Face Amount for early stage illnesses
- Severity 50 - This is a 50% payout of your Face Amount for intermediate stage illnesses
- Severity 100 - This is a 100% payout of your Face Amount for severe stage critical illnesses
Besides that, you’ll also receive a Get Well Benefit which gives you an additional 5% of the Face Amount during your first claim. This additional amount can reach up to a maximum of RM5000.
How much can I be insured for?
It largely depends on how much you can afford.
You will have to consult an insurance advisor from Manulife to advise a premium that is suitable for you in order to determine the appropriate Face Amount which is suited for your budget.
These, of course, will be subject to the underwriting terms of Manulife Insurance Berhad.
Waiting period between the critical illness insurance claims
There is no waiting period between critical illness claims provided that the initial waiting period has been satisfied.
