Singlife Essential Critical Illness Diabetes Insurance & 3 Highs with 2020 CI Guidelines
Before the new definition for Critical illness comes to fruition in August 2020 Singlife has reconfigured its flagship diabetes plan to meet the needs of customers. As such Singlife Essential Critical Illness is here in compliance with the LIA 2020 definition for Critical Illness.
4 Highs Covered
If you belong to any of the following categories, this plan will consider your application
- High Sugar (Diabetes Type 2)
- High Cholesterol
- High Blood (Hypertension)
- High BMI (Obese)
How is it different from Singlife Essential Critical Illness
- Increased number of covered Critical Illnesses (CIs) from 11 to 14. The three new CIs covered are:
- Deafness (Irreversible Loss of Hearing)
- Major Head Trauma
- Severe Bacterial Meningitis
The CIs covered align with the new definitions and names in the LIA Critical Illness Framework 2019.
Singlife Essential Critical Illness remains a multi-protection plan which now covers 14 CIs, 4 diabetic conditions, total and permanent disability, terminal illness and death – even if you have existing health conditions (Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or high Body Mass Index).
- Protection even with existing health conditions (Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or high Body Mass Index)
- Coverage for Type 2 Diabetic smokers
- Answer 6 health questions to get cover – You won’t need to undergo a medical check-up if no further medical underwriting is required
- Customised premiums depending on your existing health conditions (Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or high Body Mass Index) and you’ll know your premiums instantly provided your application doesn’t require further medical underwriting
