How does Bowtie Term Critical Illness (Multiple Cover) offer multiple cover? Can all illnesses be claimed multiple times?

  • Updated

Bowtie Term Critical Illness (Multiple Cover) offers a total of 5 claims, 100% sum insured each time.

Among the 38 covered critical illnesses, only Cancer, Heart Attack, and Stroke can be claimed multiple times*. Each of the other 35 covered critical illnesses can only be claimed once.

There is a 2-year waiting period for each claim.

*Claims for the Multiple Cover Benefit are subject to additional requirements:

Cancer A subsequent Cancer (any Cancer that has reappeared, metastasised, continued without remission, or a new primary Cancer) following any preceding Cancer claim(s) that we have paid, the Insured Person has received Active Treatment for it in the 12 months immediately prior (except for a new primary cancer).
Active treatment Active treatment means Cancer directed surgery, radiotherapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy. It does not include any treatment given solely as palliative care or hormonal therapy.
Heart Attack A subsequent Heart Attack following any preceding Heart Attack claim(s) that we have paid, demonstrates fresh diagnostic findings evidencing occurrence and diagnosis of a new event (e.g. a newly occurred and diagnosed death of a portion of heart muscle).
Stroke

A subsequent Stroke following any preceding Stroke claim(s) that we have paid, demonstrates fresh diagnostic findings evidencing occurrence and diagnosis of a new event and of new or increased neurological functional impairment (e.g. a newly occurred and diagnosed cerebrovascular accident or incident).

Coronary Artery By-Pass Grafts or Other Serious Coronary Artery Disease If any benefit has already been paid for Heart Attack, we will not pay a Multiple Cover Benefit for any Coronary Artery By-Pass Grafts or Other Serious Coronary Artery Disease.
