What are the costs?
- Cost of recovery (ie all the money you need to spend on getting alternative medication to help you on your road to recovery; things which friends/relatives/medical practitioners or even information from the social media recommend you to get).
- Loss of income (due to the fact that you can't really work full time because of your condition and you need to take time off from company/business, resulting in substantial income drop).
- Not forgetting you still have bills to pay.
Tokio Marine launched a Cancer Income rider on 08 January 2016 as a solution which many have been asking for. Some benefits of the rider are as follows:
- If a PRE-EXISTING condition related to the cancer condition is diagnosed, all the premiums paid will be REFUNDED without interest (a plus point if you ask us; most insurers can repudiate the claim and keep the premiums)
- There is no requirement for a survival period (ie many insurers insist that you "stay alive" for a pre-determined time like 1 month, after contracting the illness to prevent a fraudulent claim)
- When cancer strikes, future premiums of the rider is waived
- Payout of up to $20,000 annually on major cancer diagnosis as an income to the assured.
- Lump sum payment upon Cancer Diagnosis is also payable on top of the Cancer income payouts.
