Critical illness insurance is a source of funds you can use to help cover the indirect costs that arise when a
serious illness strikes. By providing money when you need it most, upon diagnosis of a serious illness (as
defined in the policy), critical illness insurance can help relieve worry about your finances so that you can focus
on getting well.
Critical illness insurance pays you a lump sum of money upon diagnosis of a covered condition. This money is
yours to use for any purpose, with no restrictions. For example, critical illness insurance proceeds can be used
to pay:
* Mortgage or rent payments, as well as any other bills you may have;
* Health insurance deductibles, coinsurance and/or co-payments;
* The costs of receiving out-of-network medical treatment, including possible travel and lodging expenses;
* Treatments not covered by traditional health insurance;
* Child care expenses during treatment or hospitalization;
* Modifications to your home or vehicle; and/or
* Shorter-term home health care.
Since the premiums paid for critical illness insurance are not tax deductible, the benefits are not considered as
income and are received 100% free of income tax.

Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness

2. Critical Care
Providing comfort whatever happens
With rapid advances in medical research
and treatments, the chances of surviving a
serious medical condition like cancer or a
heart attack are now very high. However, the
costs associated with treatment have also
risen significantly. MetLife’s Critical Care plan
provides critical financial support in times of
great stress resulting from a critical illness and
enables you and your family to continue to live
life to the full.
Have you considered?
• What would happen if you are no longer
able to work and support your family?
• Would a critical illness compromise your
lifestyle and financial stability?
• Can you afford the medical expenses and
support that a critical illness requires?
A medical bill can be beyond your financial
means. It is therefore wise to set aside a little of
your savings to get the coverage that you and
your loved ones need.
Facts and Statistics(1)
• 1 out of 5 people will suffer from a serious
illness at some stage in their life
• 1 in 8 people will contract cancer before
age 65
• 80% of all heart attack victims survive
• 70% of people will survive a stroke
• Open Heart Surgery may cost over
USD 50,000(2)
