Why do you need critical illness insurance cover?
Although critical illness cover might feel very similar to medical insurance, they're actually quite different. Critical illness cover pays you a lump sum of money if you have a designated disease or condition that’s covered in your policy. Essentially, it helps you worry less about your finances while you recuperate and get the treatment you need. On the other hand, most of the medical insurance plans reimburse your medical expenses and cover hospitalization costs. The claims are in the form of actual reimbursement. Therefore, critical illness insurance and medical insurance may seem similar, but in fact, the form of protection are different.

What is MyCover term critical illness insurance plan?
We designed this particular plan as we wanted to offer the best possible coverage. We refer to cancer, heart attack and stroke as ‘the big 3 diseases’ as these three alone made up 90%2 of our critical illness claims in 2020.
So we created a plan that pays a cash lump sum equivalent to 100% of the current sum insured in the event you’re diagnosed with big 3 diseases.
Cover carcinoma-in-situ
While some term critical illness plans on the market may not cover carcinoma-in-situ, FWD’s MyCover does. The plan covers several cases of carcinoma-in-situ including breast, lung, and cervix uteri. Plus it covers early-stage malignancy of specific organs – including prostate, thyroid and non-melanoma skin cancer. In case any of these happen, we’ll pay 35% of the initial sum insured (up to HK$400,000).
