Critical illness insurance provides a lump sum benefit if the insured individual is diagnosed with a specified critical illness.
Critical illness insurance is equally significant as other forms of insurance, providing long-term protection and instilling peace of mind by guaranteeing financial security. It offers coverage for major medical conditions like cancer, heart attack, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, organ transplant, and more, each with substantial financial implications. This insurance serves as income replacement and is a crucial supplement to medical insurance, which might not cover all expenses related to a critical illness, such as lost income, travel costs for specialized treatments, or modifications to living arrangements.
Allianz Malaysia offers a diverse array of critical illness insurance plans, including Prime Care+, which provides coverage for over 150 critical illness conditions. These conditions range from heart attack, cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, to stroke, each categorized into early, intermediate, or advanced stages.
The Healthcover series of critical illness insurance plans encompass up to 70 critical illnesses, offering additional protection against 7 critical illnesses for individuals below the age of 19. This coverage extends up to 100 years old and includes enhanced critical illness protection.
Moreover, critical illness insurance policies like Lady Guard, PreciousCover, and BabyCover offer specialized medical coverage for mothers, children, and female-related illnesses.
Selecting the appropriate critical illness insurance requires careful consideration of your specific needs, risk tolerance, and financial situation. Start by assessing the coverage amount, duration, and premiums that best fit your needs. Confirm that the plan's features and benefits are in line with your requirements. It's crucial to fully comprehend the plan's exclusions and limitations by anticipating potential scenarios that may arise when you need to utilize the policy. This thorough evaluation will help ensure that you choose a critical illness insurance plan that provides adequate protection and peace of mind.
The availability of specific features depends on the type of critical illness insurance provided.

In accordance with the latest guidelines from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN), critical illness insurance is eligible for tax deduction. This deduction can be either partial or full if the critical illness insurance is linked to your life insurance policy. However, it's essential to note that rules and regulations may change over time. Therefore, it's advisable to always refer to LHDN's latest guidelines for accurate and up-to-date information regarding tax deductions.
Upon receiving a diagnosis of a critical illness covered by your critical illness insurance, it's crucial to promptly contact your insurance company and furnish them with all the relevant details. Gather comprehensive supporting documentation related to the diagnosis and complete the claim form provided by your insurance company meticulously. Then, submit all the required documents together for processing and approval of your claim. This proactive approach ensures efficient processing and facilitates a smoother claim settlement process.
A survival period might be stipulated before the payment of benefits under the critical illness insurance, and this period could differ among the various types of policies provided by Allianz Malaysia.
