Affordable lump-sum cover for 8 major critical illnesses

Buyers whose main concern is the four most common critical illness categories — heart, cancer, stroke and kidney failure
Buyers who want critical illness cover at the lowest premium within this product and accept a shorter list of covered conditions

Quick Decision Guide
Set the sum insured against the income and costs you would need to replace during treatment rather than against expected hospital bills, because the payout is a fixed benefit and not a reimbursement.
Pre-existing conditions carry a 48-month waiting period, so if you have a declared condition, weigh whether the Silver Plan's lower premium still meets your need over that delay.
The benefit is payable once, so treat this as a supplement to a hospitalisation policy and not a substitute for one.
The plan pays only on first diagnosis of a listed condition as defined in the policy, so read the severity thresholds on heart attack, cancer and stroke before assuming a diagnosis will qualify.
Compare the 8-illness list against the Platinum Plan's 15 before choosing, since the Silver Plan excludes Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, benign brain tumour, end-stage liver failure, surgery of aorta, primary pulmonary hypertension and heart valve replacement or repair.
Covers daycare treatments without overnight stay.
Pre- and post-hospitalization expenses included.
Safeguards against critical illness and emergencies.
Comprehensive coverage for hospitalization and treatment.
