How VivoCare works for you

Mr Chen bought a VivoCare policy at age 35 for sum assured of $200,000. At age 45, he was diagnosed with Mild Coronary Artery Disease under the Early Stage Dread Disease.

Claim
Stage
Dread Disease Benefit Payable Payout Amount2
Early Stage Dread Disease Mild Coronary Artery Disease 50% of sum assured or $75,000 (whichever is lower) with pro-rated accumulated bonuses $85,837

The policy has a remaining sum assured of $125,000 after the Early Stage Dread Disease claim.

At age 55, Mr Chen’s arteries narrowed again and were developed into an Intermediate Stage Dread Disease.

Claim
Stages
Dread Disease Benefit Payable Payout Amount3
Intermediate Stage Dread Disease Moderate Coronary Artery Disease (i) 100% of remaining sum assured or $150,000 (whichever is lower) with pro-rated accumulated bonuses
OR
(ii) $75,000 if the early medical condition under the same Dread Disease had previously been claimed with pro-rated accumulated bonuses
$107,001

The policy has a remaining sum assured of $50,000 after the Intermediate Stage Dread Disease claim.

The figures in the illustration are non-guaranteed and are projected based on the assumption that the Life Participating Fund earns an average return of 5.25% per annum in the future. Returns are projected based on estimated bonus rates that are non-guaranteed. The actual benefit payable may vary according to the future performance of the Life Participating Fund.

Extra coverage against 4 common medical conditions

VivoCare provides you with additional coverage against four common medical conditions4

  • Diabetic Complications
  • Severe Osteoporosis
  • Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Angioplasty and other invasive treatment procedures for Coronary Artery conditions

If any of the above events occur before age 85 (last birthday), 20% of the remaining sum assured will be payable subject to a cap of $30,000 per condition per insured5.

Comprehensive coverage

VivoCare provides you with comprehensive coverage against Total and Permanent Disability (TPD). In the event of Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) before age 65 (last birthday), you will receive 100% of your remaining sum assured plus accumulated bonus6.

Three times coverage

VivoCare is designed to provide you with three times your remaining sum assured against death and terminal illness if it occurs before age 65 (last birthday)7. This gives you and your loved ones the added peace of mind.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Early Stage Dread Disease Benefit is equivalent to
(i) 50% of the Remaining Sum Assured, subject to a maximum of $75,000 for each Early Stage Dread Disease per Insured and
(ii) 50% of the accumulated bonuses, or a pro-rated amount if the maximum sum assured of $75,000 is paid out.
We will not pay the Early Stage Dread Disease Benefit (a) for the same Dread Disease more than once; and (b) if we had already paid the Intermediate Stage Dread Disease Benefit for the same Dread Disease.

(i) Remaining Sum Assured subject to a maximum of $150,000 for each Intermediate Stage Dread Disease per Insured and
(ii) accumulated bonuses or a pro-rated amount if the maximum sum assured of $150,000 is paid out.

Each claim paid for Early and Intermediate Stage Dread Disease will reduce the sum assured.

A survival period of 30 days from the date of occurrence of insured event applies.

We will pay this benefit at most twice, provided that the Policy has not ceased, and so long as the second claim is not for the same medical condition as the first claim.

Bonus rates are not guaranteed and the actual benefits payable may vary according to the future experience of the Life Participating Fund.
