FWD launches “MyCover Critical Illness Plan" on its one-stop digital platform

Market-first 2-in-1 protection plan that offers additional medical coverage after lump sum benefit payment

FWD Insurance (“FWD”) today announced the launch of MyCover Critical Illness Plan (“MyCover”), its new hero product, on its one-stop digital platform. The first-in-market plan* offers customers 2-in-1 coverage for the three most life threatening diseases in the city (cancer, heart attack and stroke (“Big 3 Diseases”)), with flexible plan levels that provide medical coverage and extra crisis benefits for an additional 59 critical illnesses.

Kelvin Yu, Chief Product Officer for FWD Hong Kong & Macau, said, “Customers often have to purchase multiple insurance plans to secure comprehensive coverage for critical illness and medical protection. The market is looking for a simple one-stop solution that enables people to enjoy critical illness and medical protection in a flexible and affordable way. As the first of its kind in the market, MyCover serves our customers’ needs and empowers them to celebrate living.”

MyCover aims to provide customers with simple, flexible and affordable protection. Customers can choose the coverage on Big 3 Diseases or further extend the coverage to include an additional 59 diseases with a lump-sum payment of 100% of current sum insured as soon as they are diagnosed. It is also the first-in-market 2-in-1 plan allowing customers to upgrade their protection with an addition medical coverage up to 100% of the total initial sum insured (or up to HK$ 1,000,000) on reimbursement basis for eligible medical expenses within two years after the first confirmed diagnosis of the Big 3 Diseases and lump sum benefit payment.

MyCover Critical Illness Protection Plan is readily available on FWD’s one-stop digital platform: https://www.fwd.com.hk/online-insurance. The application process takes no longer than 10 minutes to complete and 30 minutes to approve.
