Answers to your questions.
Find answers before comparing or using coverage. Specific conditions are in your policy.
Does it cover every cancer or heart condition?
Not necessarily. The contract identifies covered diagnoses and exclusions. Request the product’s complete definitions.
Do all products pay a lump sum?
No. Products may have lump-sum, treatment or other benefit structures. Compare each option’s schedule and requirements.
Can I apply after a diagnosis?
Medical history may affect evaluation or coverage. Check specific conditions; do not assume acceptance or coverage of an earlier diagnosis.
Is there a waiting period?
It depends on the product. Review when protection starts, initial exclusions and requirements to maintain coverage.
Can a later diagnosis trigger another payment?
It depends on contract limits and recurrence rules. Not every product pays again after the first benefit.
Which documents does the insurer require?
Request the correct form and required diagnosis or treatment evidence. Submit medical information through the insurer’s secure channel.
