Here are some common questions about Critical Illness plans

1. Should I apply for my Critical Illness cover now or wait till I am older and more likely to get struck by Critical Illness?

Our advice is that you get your Critical Illness Insurance cover as soon as possible. As you get older, there is a high chance that you would develop medical conditions. Even if these medical conditions are not classified as "critical illness", it may mean that insurer would not be willing to offer you any cover at that time.

 

2. Which critical illness plan is right for me?

It is really a balance of the premium that you have to pay and the peace of mind that you get with a more comprehensive cover. If you are younger, we recommend that you consider getting more comprehensive plans as the premium rates are still affordable. If you are older and you have a lower budget, then consider the cancer plans or late-stage critical illness plans. 

 

3. Are the premium rates guaranteed?

Generally, the premium rates for critical illness plans are not guaranteed.

 

4. Do I need to go for a medical examination if I apply for Critical Illness Insurance?

Unless otherwise stated, you may need to go for a medical examination. Note that we do have plans that do not require you to go for a medical examination. Check out our online comparison.
