Critical Illness Platinum Plan
Lump-sum payout on first diagnosis of any of 15 critical illnesses
What Makes It Special:
The Platinum Plan pays the sum insured as a single lump sum on first diagnosis of any one of 15 listed critical illnesses after the chosen survival period of 15 or 30 days, and because the money is paid as a benefit rather than against hospital bills it can be...
Best For:
Buyers who prefer a benefit paid on diagnosis rather than one requiring hospital bills and cashless authorisation
Younger applicants looking to lock in cover early, since entry is permitted from 5 years of age
Buyers who want a wider critical illness list than a basic plan, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, benign brain tumour and end-stage liver failure
Sole earners whose household would face a sustained income gap if they were diagnosed with cancer, a heart condition or a neurological illness
Buyers who already hold a hospitalisation policy and want a separate lump sum to cover income loss and non-medical costs during a serious illness

Quick Decision Guide
Not available
Set the sum insured against the income and costs you would need to replace over a treatment period, not against hospital bills, since the payout is a fixed benefit rather than a reimbursement.
Pre-existing conditions carry a 48-month waiting period, so if you have a declared condition, factor that delay into whether the cover meets your need.
Choose the survival period deliberately: the quoted premiums are based on 30 days, and the 15-day option changes the price.
The benefit is paid once, so treat this as a supplement to a hospitalisation policy rather than a replacement for one.
This plan pays only on first diagnosis of one of the 15 listed conditions as defined in the policy, so read those definitions — including the severity thresholds on heart attack, cancer and stroke — before assuming a diagnosis will qualify.
