SNAPSHOT OF THE NEW SOLUTIONS

A-Life Beyond Critical Care is a critical illness plan that is the first in market to provide end-to-end critical illness protection. The plan covers a total of 180 critical illness conditions and customers who are diagnosed with an early, intermediate or advance stage critical illness will receive a lump-sum payment of 100%. Other key features and benefits include:

• Health Screening Benefit:  Available every two years to encourage customers who are AIA Vitality members to regularly get themselves checked;
• Recovery Support Benefit: Upon diagnosis of a critical illness, customers can be reimbursed for medications, consultations, follow-up tests and screenings, as well as rehabilitation therapies post-critical illness treatment for one year;
• Yearly Cash Bonus: AIA Vitality members are rewarded for staying healthy and can enjoy a yearly cash bonus up to 20% of annual premium, depending on their AIA Vitality status;
• Guaranteed Maturity Benefit of up to 150% of the total premiums paid will be given to customers upon the maturity of their policy. 
• The plan also includes a Personal Medical Case Management (PMCM) service where customers will be supported by a dedicated 24/7 case team who will guide and support them throughout their entire medical journey – from diagnosis, treatment, monitoring progress, through to recovery.
• Customers can also add the optional benefit, A-Plus Beyond Advance Care, which will give a lump sum of the coverage amount upon diagnosis of any one of the 75 advanced critical illnesses.

A-Plus Total Health is a comprehensive health protection plan for the entire family. The plan which comes with the option to include up to 6 family members under a single plan, has various benefits that address customers’ needs throughout their health journey:

• Know your Health: With AIA’s unique Health Wallet feature, customers can utilise up to RM300 per year for Health Screenings and Vaccinations, giving them better control over their health;
• Manage your Health: Integrated with AIA Vitality, customers are rewarded for their efforts to stay healthy and enjoy extra room and board entitlement up to 100%, with a Health Wallet boost of up to 10% every year. Additionally, if customers have not made any claims, an additional amount will be credited to their Health Wallet which can be used for deductible payments, illness prevention, special care and more;
• Manage your Illness: Customers diagnosed with an illness or condition will enjoy up to RM2 million per year in medical protection, without a lifetime limit. This includes outpatient treatment for major illnesses such as cancer and kidney dialysis. Customers can also opt not to be hospitalised and still be covered for conditions such as Dengue, Bronchitis, Influenza and Pneumonia.
• Manage your Recovery: Inclusion of Personal Medical Case Management (PMCM) benefit to receive advice on the best possible treatments from world's leading specialists throughout the customers’ medical journey.
• A-Plus Total Health is attached to AIA PUBLIC Takaful Bhd.’s A-Life Ikhtiar plan, available for individuals aged between 14 days old and 70 years old.
• Together, A-Life Ikhtiar and A-Plus Total Health provide takaful customers with complete financial security and health protection for the entire family.
