A timely medical cum life insurance plan that enables a policyholder to build up a medical fund that can pay for medical needs for up to 20 years after the original plan matures, has been launched by Ceylinco Life in response to the evolving needs of the market.

Ceylinco Life Medical Saver is positioned as the first health insurance plan in the country to cover medical needs of today, tomorrow and beyond policy maturity. It offers local and global hospitalisation cover for reimbursement of medical and surgical expenses, life cover with supplementary benefits for the term of the policy and saving for future medical expenses after policy maturity, creating a backup health fund for medical needs during retirement.
“One of the biggest concerns today is meeting medical costs of people in their seventies and eighties, when insurance policies are no longer in force and when the earning capacity of the majority is impaired,” Ceylinco Life Chief Operating Officer Ranga Abeynayake explained. 

When the policy comes to an end, the Ceylinco Life Medical Saver Plan offers the policyholder the option of receiving the accumulated medical fund as a lump sum or the continued maintenance of the fund for an extended period with two payout options – periodic withdrawals for emergencies as and when required or a fixed monthly payout for medical expenses.
