5. What is Guaranteed Insurability Benefit (GIB) option? 

GIB option gives the life assured the option to purchase on her own life and/or the insured child(ren) an eligible plan (which we make available from time to time at our discretion) that provides:

(a)    Death benefit;

(b)    TPD benefit;

(c)    Terminal illness benefit; and/or

(d)    Critical illness benefit

without medical underwriting.

To exercise the GIB option, the following conditions need to be adhered to:

(a)    The GIB option is to be exercised before the end of 90 days from the birth of the insured child(ren), which is the benefit expiry date;

(b)    The GIB-issued policy must be on the life assured’s own life and/or the insured child;

(c)    The GIB option can only be exercised once for the life assured and once for each insured child. In the event that the life assured is pregnant with more than 1 foetus in the same pregnancy, the GIB option can be exercised once for each insured child; and

6. My child has a condition detected after birth. Will this condition be covered under the new life plan purchased under GIB option?

In the event the insured child who is less than 6 years old is diagnosed with, or undergoes a surgical procedure for, a condition covered under a critical illness benefit; and such condition is directly or indirectly due to a pre-existing condition, a claim under the critical illness benefit for any early, intermediate or critical stage condition, special benefit, juvenile illness benefit, benign tumour benefit or other benefit under the new policy which is similar to any of the foregoing benefits, shall be payable.

This benefit is payable once and is limited to S$30,000 on the same insured child. The policy will continue with remaining coverage, if there is any, with reduced premium.

In the event the the life assured/insured child dies or suffers from TPD due to a pre-existing condition within 12 months from the date of issue and/or date of reinstatement of the new policy, the policy will be terminated.  We will refund all premiums paid under the new policy without interest, less any debts owed to us.

7. What happens if I surrender GREAT Maternity Care 2 policy early?

There will be no protection under the policy if you surrender your policy early. As this product has no savings or investment feature, there is no cash value if the policy ends or if the policy is terminated prematurely.

Buying a new policy may mean we need to reassess the life assured’s health and circumstances and may result in higher premiums and/or benefit exclusions due to the age and health status.
