What are the top 3 causes of death in Singapore? Cancer, pneumonia and cardiovascular disease. 1 in 3 Singaporeans dies of cancer. According to AIA, 60% of its critical illness claims are from cancer, out of which, 80% are due to breast cancer.
While cancer is on the rise, survival rates go up too. Therefore, it is important to be covered for the various stages of cancer, from early to intermediate to major stage. While there are many types of critical illness insurance in the market, the more comprehensive the cover, the stricter the underwriting process. Meaning that for someone with pre-existing condition such as diabetes, cyst, benign tumor or heart attack, etc, his or her application will be rejected.
So, is there any solution for people with pre-existing condition?
Good news! AIA recently launched a new cancer insurance plan that has all the right ingredients for a boost of cancer protection. Called AIA MultiStage Cancer Cover, it offers 100% payout at early, intermediate or major stage cancer as well as affordable level premiums that don’t go up with time.
