Your questions answered

Q1: What is Maternity Protect and how does it support me and my baby?

A1: Maternity Protect is a 3‑year, single‑premium, non‑participating maternity term plan that provides insurance coverage for the mother (life assured) and her insured child(ren).
You may apply for this plan if you are between 13 and 36 weeks of pregnancy at the time of application.
The plan provides coverage at different stages, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy:

• During pregnancy and delivery (mother):
Coverage includes death or total and permanent disability (TPD), pregnancy and childbirth complications, hospital care, psychological consultations, and early delivery by caesarean section.
• After birth (child):
Coverage includes death, congenital illnesses and juvenile illnesses, hospital care, surgery on any of the five major organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys or brain) and developmental support.

Q2: What benefits are covered under Maternity Protect?

A2: Maternity Protect provides coverage for both mother and child, across pregnancy, childbirth, and early childhood.

Each benefit is subject to its applicable benefit limit and coverage period.

Benefits will cease when the applicable limit is reached, the coverage period ends, or where the benefit is payable once, upon an admitted claim under that benefit, unless otherwise stated.

Q3: What happens if I am pregnant with multiple babies?

A3: Maternity Protect provides coverage for up to two foetuses (twins) in the same pregnancy.

Each child will be covered separately. Where a benefit has been paid for one insured child, the same benefit may, unless otherwise stated, still be available for the other insured child, in accordance with the policy.

Q4: Is assisted pregnancy covered under Maternity Protect?

A4: Maternity Protect covers pregnancies that result from natural conception, as well as pregnancies conceived through the following assisted fertility treatments:

(a)     In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF);

(b)     Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI);

(c)     Intrauterine Insemination (IUI); and

(d)     Intracervical Insemination (ICI).

Coverage is subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.

Pregnancies and related complications arising from any other fertility treatments are not covered under this plan.

Q5: Will my policy end after a claim is paid?

A5: No. Each benefit is payable up to its applicable benefit limit or coverage period. After a claim is paid under one benefit, the remaining applicable benefits will continue unless otherwise stated.

The policy will terminate only when:

(a)     the policy term expires;

(b)     all benefits under the policy have been paid up to their applicable benefit limits;

(c)     the Death Benefit for the life assured and all insured child(ren) are paid; or

(d)     the policyholder requests termination.

If Maternity Protect is purchased together with GREAT Life Multiplier, the two policies are issued separately. Claims made under one policy will not affect the continuation of the other policy, subject to the terms and conditions of each policy.

As this product has no savings or investment feature, there is no cash value if the policy ends or is terminated early.

Q6: What is Mum Again Benefit?

A6: The Mum Again Benefit allows an eligible life assured (mother) to purchase a subsequent eligible maternity plan with similar benefits made available by us from time to time, without medical underwriting for her next pregnancy, subject to the following conditions:

(a)     the current Maternity Protect policy has been medically underwritten; 

(b)     the option must be exercised within 5 years from the commencement date of the medically underwritten policy; 

(c)     no claim was made on the life assured under the current policy; and 

(d)     at the point of exercising the option, the life assured:

(i) is between 18 to 40 years of age next birthday;

(ii) has a pregnancy that is at less than or equal to 16 weeks of gestation;

(iii) conceived naturally with no more than 2 foetuses; and

(iv) where pre‑natal genetic or other medical tests have been conducted, no adverse or abnormal findings relating to the pregnancy or foetus have been identified or communicated to the life assured.

Q7: What is the Guaranteed Insurability Benefit (GIB) option?

A7: The Guaranteed Insurability Benefit (GIB) allows the policyholder to purchase an eligible insurance plan for the insured child without medical underwriting, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.

Eligible plans made available by us from time to time may provide one or more of the following benefits:

(a)     Death benefit;

(b)     TPD benefit;

(c)     Terminal illness benefit; and/or

(d)     Critical illness benefit

The GIB option must be exercised within 100 days from the birth of the insured child, and may be exercised once for each insured child, subject to policy terms. Eligible plans and maximum sums assured are determined by us and may change from time to time.

This option applies to the insured child only.

When Maternity Protect is purchased together with GREAT Life Multiplier, only one option — either the GIB or the Transfer of Life (TOL) option — may be exercised for the insured child.

Any insurance policy purchased under the Guaranteed Insurability Benefit (GIB) is subject to its own terms and conditions, including how pre‑existing conditions are defined and treated.

Please refer to the policy contract for full details, including applicable terms, conditions and exclusions.

Q8: My child has a condition detected after birth. Will it be covered under a new plan purchased using the Guaranteed Insurability Benefit (GIB)?

A8: If you purchase a new insurance plan for your child using the Guaranteed Insurability Benefit (GIB), conditions diagnosed before the start of the new policy may be covered, subject to the terms and conditions of that policy.

For conditions that are related to a pre-existing condition and diagnosed before your child reaches 6 years old, the total payouts are capped at S$30,000 per child and are payable once only.

After a payout is made, the policy will continue with any remaining coverage, where applicable, subject to the policy terms and conditions.

Please refer to the policy contract of the new insurance plan for full details, including applicable terms, conditions, benefit limits and exclusions.

Q9: What happens if I surrender my Maternity Protect policy early?

A9: All coverage under the policy will cease if the policy is surrendered early. As this plan has no savings or investment feature, there is no cash value upon early termination.

Q10: What happens when Maternity Protect is purchased together with GREAT Life Multiplier?

A10: When Maternity Protect is purchased together with GREAT Life Multiplier:

• Two separate policies are issued; 

• Maternity Protect benefits remain unchanged; 

• The Transfer of Life option becomes available under the GREAT Life Multiplier policy; and

• For multiple babies (e.g. twins), a separate GREAT Life Multiplier policy will be issued for each insured child, subject to policy terms.

Each policy operates independently and has its own benefits, terms and claims assessment.

Q11: What is the Transfer of Life (TOL) option?

A11: The Transfer of Life (TOL) option allows the policyholder to transfer the coverage under the GREAT Life Multiplier policy from the life assured to the insured child, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.

This option is available only when GREAT Life Multiplier is purchased together with Maternity Protect.

Q12: Can both the Transfer of Life (TOL) option and the Guaranteed Insurability Benefit (GIB) be exercised?

A12: No. Only one option may be exercised for the insured child:

• GIB option (under the Maternity Protect policy), or

• TOL option (under the GREAT Life Multiplier policy).

Once one option is exercised, the other will no longer be available.

Q13: When can the Transfer of Life (TOL) option be exercised?

A13: The TOL option may be exercised any time before the 1st policy anniversary. If the TOL option is exercised within the first 100 days of the child’s date of birth, no medical underwriting will apply.

After the 100‑day period, medical underwriting will apply.

Q14: Is there a minimum age for my child to exercise the TOL option?

A14: No. The TOL option may be exercised once the child is born, subject to terms and conditions set out in the policy.

Q15: What happens if the TOL option is not exercised?

A15: If the TOL option is not exercised, the GREAT Life Multiplier policy will continue to cover the life assured, and the insured child will not be covered under that policy.

Q16: What happens to my policy after the TOL option is exercised?

A16: After a successful exercise of the TOL option:

• the insured child becomes the new life assured under the GREAT Life Multiplier policy;

• all rider(s), except any accelerating CI rider(s) providing coverage for the original life assured will be terminated; 

• any loadings imposed on the original life assured will be removed from the effective date of transfer; and

• the basic sum assured of the GREAT Life Multiplier policy will revised to the insured child’s basic sum assured (as set out in the policy illustration).

Q17: If my child has a condition detected after birth, how will it be treated under the Transfer of Life (TOL) option?

A17: When the Transfer of Life (TOL) option is exercised, your child becomes the life assured under the existing GREAT Life Multiplier policy.

Any condition your child has within the first 100 days of his/her life will be considered a pre-existing condition according to the policy’s definition.

For certain benefits, such as critical illness riders, if the condition is related to a pre‑existing condition and occurs before age 6, the total payout is capped at S$30,000 and payable once only, in accordance with the policy terms and conditions.

All other benefits will continue to be assessed based on the policy terms and conditions.

Please refer to the GREAT Life Multiplier policy (including the Transfer of Life (TOL) endorsement) for full details, including applicable terms, conditions and exclusions.

Q18: What is the difference between the GIB option and the TOL option for my child?

A18: The Guaranteed Insurability Benefit (GIB) option allows you to buy a new insurance plan for your child without medical underwriting, subject to policy terms and the eligible plans available at the point of exercising the option.
The Transfer of Life (TOL) option allows you to transfer the existing GREAT Life Multiplier policy from the mother to your child.If Maternity Protect is purchased on its own, only the GIB option is available.

If it is purchased together with GREAT Life Multiplier, you can choose either the GIB option or the TOL option.

Please refer to the Maternity Protect policy and the GREAT Life Multiplier policy (including the Transfer of Life (TOL) endorsement) for full details, including applicable terms, conditions and exclusions.

Q19: If my baby has a pre‑existing condition, will it be covered under hospitalisation plans purchased under the campaign?

A19: No. Pre-existing conditions will not be covered under hospitalisation plans purchased under the campaign.

Pre-existing Condition refers to:
(a) any illness, disease, disability, defect or impairment from which the life assured was suffering prior to the commencement date of insurance; or
(b) any illness, disease, disability, defect or impairment of which signs or symptoms had existed in the 12 months immediately preceding the commencement date of insurance, for which:
(i) the life assured had sought or received medical advice or treatment, prescription of drugs, counselling, investigation or diagnostic tests, surgery, hospitalisation; or
(ii) an ordinarily prudent person would have sought medical advice or treatment, prescription of drugs, counselling, investigation or diagnostic tests, surgery, hospitalisation.

Q20: If my baby is born early or has a health issue or pre-existing condition, can I still apply for a hospitalisation plan for my baby under the campaign?

A20: No. You will not be able to apply for a hospitalisation plan under the campaign if your baby:

• is born before 37 weeks of gestation; or

• has a health issue or pre-existing condition.

However, you may still apply for a hospitalisation plan for your baby, subject to full medical underwriting and acceptance by us.
