How does this Manulife insurance work?
Below is an example for someone claiming for the selected illness twice:
| Claim | Critical Illness | Benefit (RM) | Recovery Allowance (RM) | Claim Payout (RM) | Waiting Period Required |
| 1st claim at age 51 | Stroke | 100000 | 5000 | 105000 | 30 days (From policy issue date or reinstatement date, whichever is later) |
| 2nd claim at age 54 | Stroke | 100000 | 5000 | 105000 | 2 years from diagnosis of 1st claim |
| Total payout | 210000 |
You apply for this Manulife insurance with a Face Amount of RM100,000, at age 50.
You first claim for stroke at age 51, at 100% of the Face Amount of RM100,000, plus RM5000 recovery allowance.
Since this is your first claim, you'll also receive recovery benefit of RM750 cash vouchers which you can use to redeem medical items.
At age 54, you experience a stroke for the second time and you will once again be entitled to the full Face Amount of RM100,000 and the RM5,000 recovery benefit.
All-in-all, you have successfully claimed RM210,000 and not forgetting the RM750 cash voucher from Manulife during the course of your policy.
Similarly, you may also claim for two different covered critical illnesses with the same mechanics above.
Bear in mind that for multiple claims on the same critical illness, the second claim must be proved to be a new occurrence and not a progression of the prior condition.
In case if you don't know, Face Amount is the sum assured you decided when you first applied for your insurance.
