Allianz’s Arogya critical illness plan has the distinction of being the only policy in the country that provides payouts for both critical illnesses and accidents at 3 different stages. While traditional critical illness covers offer payouts only once when the illness occurs, Allianz makes lump sum payouts at early, major and critical stages of an illness or accident with Arogya. This is aimed at helping policyholders get the necessary treatment right from the early stages and to facilitate early recovery. Allianz Lanka waives off all future premium payments for the remaining duration of the policy once a major stage claim is made. Policyholders also receive the total sum remaining in their investment account if and when their illness progresses to major and critical stages. The policy also covers children affected with critical illnesses, a feature that is not offered by any other insurer in the market.
