Case Study

Rex

Rex, 38 (Non-smoker)

Rex was at the peak of his career, focused on building a stable and fulfilling life. As a young professional, he understood that health risks could arise unexpectedly. To protect himself from the financial impact of serious illness, he chose to enrol in Cigna Healthcare VitalGuard Critical Illness Plan.

Sum Insured: HKD1,500,000

Monthly premium at policy inception: HKD6844

First Claim (Age 41)

100% of the Sum Insured: HKD1,500,000

Three years into his policy, Rex began experiencing unusual symptoms. After medical evaluation, he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer, one of the 58 covered critical illnesses under the plan. 

Rex required surgery and chemotherapy, and was unable to work for 18 months. Beyond the physical toll, he faced immense emotional stress and was afraid to rely on him and his family’s savings to cover daily expenses.
