As its name suggests, our Total Cover policy provides both life and death insurance benefits when you and your family need them the most. The plan insures against major conditions, such as: terminal illness, heart attack, stroke and serious accident; and while your employer may provide some support, if you cannot work due to illness our product provides you with a lump sum payment.
Recovery & Death Benefits: If you suffer an accident or serious illness you need peace, quiet and time to recover. Alliance recovery benefit is an additional sum that helps you focus on your rehabilitation. The product does not cease if you claim living benefits and your balance will still be paid in the event of death, until the policy expires.
The Total Cover policy provides you with the following benefits:
Total sum insured
Death |
Serious illness |
Recovery |
| Min 60% / max 100% of total sum insured (TSI) |
30% of total sum insured at diagnosis date of serious illness (SI) | 10% of total sum insured. Recovery Benefits (RB) directly related to serious illness |
- TSI is payable on death, providing no previous claim has been made for SI or RB (which, if claimed, reduces the death benefit component by up to 40%).
- Only one claim is covered by the benefits under SI. Benefits are payable once only and are subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.
The benefits are available for three components: Death, Serious Illness and Recovery Benefit. Each is payable as a lump sum, with benefits distributed as follows:
DEATH
- The benefit is payable on the death of the insured.
- The balance of any living benefits unclaimed prior to death will be paid.
Serious Illness or a Serious Accident (as defined)
- Once the benefit qualification period has ended, a lump sum is paid in the event that the insured is diagnosed as having suffered any 1 of the 3 Serious Illness components. A 60-day qualification period applies (from the policy start date) before cover begins (the benefit commencement date) for all conditions except Serious Accident, which is covered from day one.
- Serious Illness Benefit can only be claimed once.
Recovery or Relocation Benefit (incapacity for work directly related to Serious Illness)
- Recovery Benefit is paid as a lump sum to assist an individual’s recuperation and rehabilitation in the event they are unable to work as a direct result of a serious illness.
- The benefit is payable only if a Serious Illness claim is accepted following certification by a qualified medical specialist.
- Incapacity must be total, meaning the individual cannot work in any capacity for at least six consecutive months from the diagnosis date. This must be confirmed by the attending doctor/s regularly, via a monthly certificate, during the period of incapacity. If accepted, the benefit is paid after the 6-month period has elapsed.
- If the insured has his/her work visa cancelled due to an inability to work directly caused by the serious illness condition, and they are requested to leave the country, the benefit will still be paid.
- Recovery or Relocation Benefit (incapacity to work) is directly related to serious illness as certified by a qualified medical specialist.
- Serious Illness Benefit covers heart attack, stroke, terminal diagnosis and serious accident.
