Critical Illness Silver Plan
Affordable lump-sum cover for 8 major critical illnesses
What Makes It Special:
The Silver Plan pays the sum insured as a single lump sum on first diagnosis of any one of 8 listed critical illnesses after the chosen survival period of 15 or 30 days, and at every age band and sum insured its premium is lower than the Platinum Plan's, which...
Best For:
Buyers topping up an existing critical illness benefit from an employer or a life insurer with additional standalone cover
Younger applicants looking to start critical illness cover early, since entry is permitted from 5 years of age

Quick Decision Guide
You prefer no medical check-up before purchase
You enjoy earning wellness points and premium discounts
You need surrogacy and oocyte donor coverage
You want automatic sum insured restoration after a claim
You value OPD consultations and yearly health check-ups
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.
