FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q1. Who should buy Healthee Term Insurance Plan?

Healthee term insurance policy is best suited for working individuals who have dependents (children, parents) and who are looking for high sum of protection against uncertainties of life (like critical illness, total disability, death) at a very competitive price.

Q2. What is meant by the base policy?

Base policy is Healthee term insurance plan without any riders.

Q3. What is meant by acceleration of the rider benefit?

Accelerated TPD or CI rider refers to the benefit being paid as an “advance of the death benefit” amount under the base policy, which means when a claim under TPD or CI rider is paid, the death benefit under the base policy is reduced by the amount of the TPD or CI claim payout.

Example: Suppose a Life Assured has taken the Healthee term insurance policy for USD 300,000 for a term of 15 years and opted for Accelerated Critical Illness rider for USD 100,000.

In the 10th policy year, he is diagnosed with one of the covered critical illnesses. On such diagnosis or having undergone a procedure, the CI rider sum assured of USD 100,000 will be paid to the Life Assured. On such payment, the rider benefit will cease and the premiums for the rider benefit will also stop. Subsequently, the sum assured of USD 300,000 under the base policy will be reduced to USD 200,000.

In case the death of the life assured happens thereafter, but before the end of the term, then USD 200,000 will be payable provided the policy is kept inforce by payment of due premiums. In case the death is due to accident, then inbuilt accidental death benefit of USD 100,000 will be paid in addition to USD 200,000.

Should the life to be assured survive the entire term of 15 years, no benefit is payable. Premium is not refunded either.

Q4. Is it compulsory to take the riders along with the base policy?

No, all the three riders available are optional. Life Assured can take all or any of these by payment of extra premium which will need to be paid along with the premium of base policy.

What happens if due to covered critical illness the Life Assured becomes totally and permanently disabled?

If there is an overlap between the CI rider and TPD rider and the claim qualifies under both CI and TPD due to the same disease or cause, then the higher of the Sum Assured between the two benefits would be paid but not both.

Q5. Till what time rider premium are payable?

Accelerated CI and TPD Rider premiums are payable throughout the policy term along with the premium under the base policy or till earlier death or claim under the respective rider benefits.

Q7. Whether the premium rates are the same for everybody?

No. The premium rates will depend upon the age and selected sum assured and term. For the same age, term and sum assured, non-smoker will be charged lesser premium as compared to smoker. This policy has different rates based upon smoking habit and gender.

Q8. If the Life Assured is admitted in the hospital for few hours only, whether Hospital Cash Benefit will be payable?
