Comprehensive coverage against Benign Conditions

• Additional Benign Benefit
  If a Specialist considers that a tumour could potentially turn malignant and subsequently performs a complete surgical excision of the solid tumour, and such tumour in the specified organ is confirmed to be a non-cancerous benign tumour after examination, the Plan will provide an Additional Benign Benefit of up to 40% of the sum insured (up to 2 times per Policy and payable once per organ). This additional benefit will not affect the future amount of the Living Benefit.
  
  
• Critical Illness protection is also applicable to people with benign conditions
  The Plan extends comprehensive coverage to the Insured who are diagnosed with a designated benign condition at the time of enrolment, with additional premiums if the relevant underwriting requirements are fulfilled. If the designated benign condition does not relapse and deteriorate after a 2-year waiting period and meets the relevant underwriting requirements, we will offer exclusive protection for benign conditions and waive the future additional premium.

Continued protection with the Waiver of Premiums

All future premiums payable under the basic plan will be waived from the diagnosis date once a Living Benefit for Severity Level 2 or 3 Critical Illnesses has been paid or is payable. The Insured can continue to enjoy the protection of the Plan until the Policy is terminated.
