Insurer Chubb Life launches family protection programme
In a bid to ease anxiety and financial burden caused by illness, insurance company Chubb Life Thailand has launched the “Family Protector” policy, providing coverage of up to Bt10 million for major surgeries as well as Bt39,000 daily for hospitalisation. The scheme also provides premium discounts for all family members.
Family Protector offers nine choices of coverage, including surgery related to complicated pregnancies and cover for newborns for up to 365 days without extra premium.
According to a 2018 report from the Public Health Ministry, the top five causes of death among Thais are cancer, cerebrovascular disease, chronic lung disease, heart disease and fatal road accidents, with cases of critical illnesses rising every year. Plus, soaring medical costs are a serious concern for most families.
Angela Hunter, country president for Chubb Life Thailand, said: “Chubb Life Thailand’s vision is to help people live their lives with confidence by designing health, protection and financial well-being solutions that meet their specific needs. At Chubb Life, we look at every detail of their lives. Therefore, our health portfolio is expanding to cater to millennial families with more comprehensive protection for each member. With medical costs increasing almost 10 per cent annually, Family Protector is designed to support quality hospitalisation and major surgical operations expenses that young families face. Family Protector has extensive coverage for the needs of most households, including families with children, newlyweds, parents-to-be, or single adults wanting coverage for their parents. A special discount is offered when two family members purchase the product together.”
