FWD Life Insurance covers COVID-19 and vaccine complications in affordable plans

The reward comes with every new purchase of FWD Life Insurance’s KanMend, KanLive, KanGuard or a combination of all three in one protection plan. Customers can claim their cash rewards amounting from PhP30k to PhP90k regardless of their hospital bills from confinement for COVID-19 or vaccination complications. The benefit is on top of their Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and other health plans.

“We constantly look to innovate our products and services with the goal to meet current needs and conditions with our vision of changing the way people feel about insurance. We’re here to help them prepare for any eventuality that the pandemic may cause so they can continue to celebrate living with their loved ones,” said Li Hao Zhuang, President and CEO of FWD Life Insurance.

The reward comes at an opportune time when the virus continues to mutate in spite of ongoing global vaccination efforts. FWD Life Insurance designed it in such a way that customers can purchase their preferred plan conveniently and easily through the online insurance shop without needing to go through underwriting or submitting medical history.
