Key benefits

Three plans to choose from

As you adjust your financial priorities to welcome a new addition to your family, we’ll support your journey to motherhood with greater flexibility by providing you the freedom to choose between three different plans to cater to your needs -Essential, Superior & Grand¹.

Greater assurance during pregnancy

Pregnancy is a wonderful phase in life, and we want to make sure you experience that entire journey knowing you’re well-cared for in the event of covered pregnancy complications. As an added layer of protection, you’ll also receive an extra 20% of the benefit amount if the complications are accompanied by Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). On top of this, you may also be financially covered in the event of an early delivery, with an Emergency Caesarean Section benefit² of up to RM8,000¹.

Hospitalisation support to ease recovery

Rest assured with Smart Baby Shield Plus, which also covers hospitalisation costs if you are admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or High Dependency Unit (HDU) due to childbirth/pregnancy complications, we’ll cover the charges up to your plan’s specified limit¹.

Critical care for your newborn

Smart Baby Shield Plus will take care of the hospitalisation costs if your child is admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), ICU, or HDU within the first 30 days from birth, up to your plan’s specified limit. Additionally, should your child require incubation or phototherapy treatment for neonatal jaundice within their first 60 days from birth, this plan will also cover all those costs up to that same limit¹.

Extended protection for congenital conditions

As your child grows through their infant years into early childhood, this plan will continue to protect them for congenital conditions that may arise. We’ll help give them - and you! - added peace of mind with reimbursement cost of up to your plan’s specified limit, if your child is hospitalised for any of the covered congenital conditions^1_.

Psychological care for you and your baby

Smart Baby Shield Plus provides psychological consultation support² for mothers — with a financial reimbursement of RM8,000 for treatment of diagnosed Major Depressive Disorder or Generalised Anxiety Disorder. We’ll also subsidise treatment costs up to RM8,000 per year for prevalent child development disorders^1,2.

Disclaimer

Smart Baby Shield Plus is two unit deduction riders attachable to SmartProtect Junior. These basic plan is an insurance product that is tied to the performance of the underlying assets, and is not a pure investment product such as unit trusts. The insurance charge to be imposed will be deducted from the total investment value of your policy on a yearly basis. You may stop paying premiums under the policy and still enjoy protection as long as there is sufficient total investment value to pay for the insurance charge. However, there is a possibility of the policy lapsing when the required charges, including rider charges, exceed the total investment value of the fund units available. Purchasing too many unit deduction riders may deplete the fund units.

You should satisfy yourself that these riders will best serve your needs and that the premium payable under the policy is an amount you can afford. A free-look period of 15 days is given for you to review the suitability of the plan. If these riders are cancelled during this period, the policy owner is entitled to the reinstatement of the units deducted for the payment of insurance charges after net of expenses incurred for the medical examination, if any. If you switch your policy/rider from one company to another, or if you exchange your current policy/rider with another policy/rider within the same company, you may be required to submit an application where acceptance of your proposal will be subject to the terms and conditions to be imposed at the time of policy/rider switching or replacement.
