Policy Roles
Every insurance policy has key policy roles: the Policy Owner, the Primary Insured, and the Beneficiary.
Policy Owner/Primary The person who applies for the Policy. He/she is the person with rights
Insured to the Policy. He/she is also the person covered by the Policy.
Beneficiary The person/s designated to receive the policy benefits if the Insured
passes away. They are primary and revocable in this insurance policy,
which means the Policy Owner has the right to change any of them over
time and perform all his/her policy rights and privileges without the
Beneficiary’s consent.

When we say “we”, “us”, and “our”, we mean Singlife Philippines Inc. the issuer of your insurance policy.

The coverage of the minor Insured Dependent will only extend up to the next premium due date, and
the Policy Contract under which this Dependents Coverage Contract is a part of will terminate.
Once a new Policy Owner is assigned, all Insured Dependents with active coverages will
continue as Insured Dependents of the new Policy Owner.
If the benefit is because of the Insured Dependent passing away due to a Critical Condition as defined
in Section 4 ‘List of Covered Critical Conditions’ or there are no Policy Owners at the time of the
payment of claim, the benefit will be payable to his/her beneficiaries as named in the application
form. However, if there no living named beneficiaries, we will pay to your family member/s the
benefits in the standard beneficiaries as defined below.
Standard Beneficiaries
These are your Insured Dependent’s family member/s according to this standard order:
If none of the family members stated above are alive, the benefit will be paid to his/her
estate.
Separate hospital confinements that are due to the same cause and happens within 30
days from date of last discharge to latest confinement, will be considered as one (1) event
of continuous confinement. The total number of Hospital Days that the Insured
Dependent is confined within a continuous confinement will be used to determine the
minimum Hospital Days required as described above.
A confinement that starts during the Policy Year and ends in the next Policy Year will be
considered as a confinement for the earlier Policy Year.
Hospital confinement due to Pregnancy is covered under the Daily Hospital Cash Benefit,
provided that:
the first day of the hospital confinement happens one (1) year after the effective date
or date of last reinstatement of the Insured Dependent’s coverage, provided that the
state of being pregnant must be after one (1) year from the effective date or date of
last reinstatement of the Insured Dependent’s coverage; and
the Insured Dependent is confined for at least two (2) Hospital Days.
For Daily Hospital Cash, we will only pay up to one hundred (100) Hospital Days
of hospital confinement in a Policy Year for each Insured Dependent. This is
inclusive of any confinement in the ICU. When the total number of Hospital
Days claimed under this coverage reaches one hundred (100) Hospital Days in
a Policy Year, you can no longer file a claim under the Daily Hospital Cash
Benefit for that Policy Year. However, you must continue to pay the premiums
for the Insured Dependent’s coverage to remain active.
The one hundred (100) Hospital Days limit under the Daily Hospital Cash
Benefit will reset every Policy Anniversary unless the Insured Dependent’s
coverage terminates.
The ninety (90) day waiting period will not apply for hospital confinements that
are due to an Accident. We will pay the Daily Hospital Cash Benefit if it is due to
an Accident as long as the benefit is active when the incident happens.
We will not pay for the Daily Hospital Cash Benefit if the hospital confinement
is due to an illness that is present during the ninety (90) day waiting period.
This includes any signs or symptoms of the illness that is present during the
Waiting Period.

is due to pregnancy or childbirth within one (1) year from the effective date or
date of last reinstatement, whichever is later, of the Insured Dependent’s
coverage.
A confinement that starts during the Policy Year and ends on the next Policy
Year, will be considered as a confinement for the earlier Policy Year.
The benefits that are specified in the following sections can only be availed if they are
included in the Policy Details Page(s) of the Insured Dependent and the premium for the
Additional Coverage is paid for.
The Any Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit can only be availed if it is included
in his/her Policy Details Page(s) and the premium is paid for.
To help you with the costs for the diagnosis of a Critical Condition, we will pay
the amount as stated in the Insured Dependent’s Policy Details Page(s) in lump
sum, provided that:
the Insured Dependent is diagnosed with any Critical Condition as
defined in Section 4 ‘List of Covered Critical Conditions’; and
the Critical Condition diagnosis happens and/or signs or symptoms are
first experienced after the ninety (90) day Waiting Period, subject to the
conditions set in this Policy.
These are conditions that are defined in Section 4 ‘List of Covered Critical
Conditions’. A Critical Condition may be classified as Early Stage, Intermediate
Stage, or Late Stage.
The ninety (90) day waiting period will not apply for Critical Conditions that are due
to an Accident. We will pay the Any Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit if it is due to
an Accident as long as the benefit is active when the Accident happens.
We will not pay the Any Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit if the Critical Condition
is due to an illness that is already present during the ninety (90) day Waiting Period.
This includes any signs or symptoms of the illness that are present during the
Waiting Period.
We will not pay the Any Critical Condition Benefit if the claim arises from a
Pre-Existing Condition or from any of the causes listed under Section 5 ‘What we are
not able to Cover’.
The Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit can only be availed if it is
included in the Insured Dependent’s Policy Details Page(s) and the premium is
paid for.

defined in Section 4 ‘List of Covered Critical Conditions’; and
the Late Stage Critical Condition diagnosis happens and/or signs or
symptoms are first experienced after the ninety (90) day Waiting Period,
subject to the conditions set in this Policy.
If the Insured Dependent passes away due to a Late Stage Critical Condition as
defined in Section 4 ‘List of Covered Critical Conditions’, we will pay the benefit
amount for Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit, subject to the
conditions set in this Policy.
This means that the Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit we will pay
you will be the benefit amount for Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis
Benefit as stated in the Insured Dependent’s Policy Details Page(s) minus the
Any Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit we have approved thus far, if
applicable.
3. If the Insured Dependent is diagnosed with more than one (1) Critical
Condition on the same date or if the diagnosis of all conditions and/or
their signs or symptoms are first experienced within twelve (12)
months of each other and claims are filed for all of them, only the
earliest valid claim will be paid the Late Stage Critical Condition
Diagnosis Benefit. Additionally, if they are diagnosed (including signs
or symptoms) at exactly the same time, we will only consider one (1)
of the critical condition as part of your claim.
Reset Period
This is a twelve (12) month duration that must go by - starting from the diagnosis date
of the last Late Stage Critical Condition paid under the Late Stage Critical Condition
Diagnosis Benefit – before a new Late Stage Critical Condition can be payable again
under the same diagnosis benefit. Any new diagnosis should be made while the
Insured Dependent’s Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit is active.
The ninety (90) day Waiting Period will not apply for Late Stage Critical Conditions
that are due to an Accident. We will pay the Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis
Benefit if it is due to an Accident as long as the benefit is active when the incident
happens.
We will not pay for the Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit if the Late
Stage Critical Condition is due to an illness that is already present during the ninety
(90) day Waiting Period. This includes any signs or symptoms of the illness that are
present during the Waiting Period.
Any claim for Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit during the Reset
Period is not payable. You will still have to continuously pay for the premiums to
keep the Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit active.
Once we have approved the third (3rd) Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis
Benefit under the Insured Dependent’s coverage, his/her Late Stage Critical
Condition Diagnosis Benefit will terminate.
The Critical Conditions are considered related to each other if they belong to the
same Group.
We will not pay the Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit if the claim arises
from a Pre-Existing Condition or from any causes under Section 5 ‘What We are Not
Able to Cover’.
The Medical Cost Reimbursement for Late Stage Critical Condition Benefit can
only be availed if it is included in the Insured Dependent’s Policy Details Page(s)
and the premium is paid for.
We will pay you for the Actual Eligible Expense up to benefit amount of the
Medical Cost Reimbursement for Late Stage Critical Condition Benefit stated in
the Insured Dependent’s Policy Details Page(s), provided that:
the Insured Dependent is confined to undergo any of the surgeries for
the Late Stage Critical Condition Benefit listed under Annex B “List of
Covered Surgeries”.
the procedure is for the same Late Stage Critical Condition that was
approved or filed under the Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis
Benefit.; and
the surgery must occur within 90 days from the date of diagnosis of the
Late Stage Critical Condition.
These are reasonable and customary medical costs related to the diagnosis
and procedures/surgeries of Critical Conditions that have been incurred.
We will not deduct any payments that have been made by PhilHealth or any
health insurance providers from the benefits we will pay you.
The total benefit amount of the Insured Dependent under his/her coverage
and other health insurance policies/coverages issued by Singlife will be
subject to the maximum allowable amount that we set at the time this policy
was issued. We will refund to you the total premiums you paid that
correspond to any amount in excess of the maximum allowable amount.
A Critical Condition may be classified as Early Stage, Intermediate Stage, or Late Stage. The Critical
Conditions are considered related to each other if they belong to the same Group.

Waiting Period
This is a ninety (90) day duration from the Effective Date or date of last
reinstatement of the Insured Dependent’s coverage that must go by before you
can make any valid claim to your Policy.
The Waiting Period also applies when you make changes to the Insured
Dependent’s benefit coverage, which starts from the effective date of change.
The Waiting Period will apply to hospitalizations, Critical Condition diagnosis and
medical reimbursement due to an illness, where the diagnosis and/or signs or
symptoms are first experienced within the ninety (90) day Waiting Period.
Pre-Existing Condition
This is any condition, including congenital anomalies and conditions arising from
them, for which the Insured Dependent may have already had signs or symptoms,
received medical advice, diagnosis, medication, or treatment prior to the effective
date or date of last reinstatement of the Insured Dependent’s coverage, whichever is
later.
Any condition where a physician has certified that the Insured Dependent has fully
recovered for at least twenty-four (24) months prior to the effective date or date of
last reinstatement (whichever is later) of the Insured Dependent’s coverage will not
be considered as a Pre-existing Condition.
Free of Charge
This is any test, treatment, confinement, and other service that is paid for by the
Philippine government or any of its institutions or by private institutions. It is not
a part of an insurance benefit or any other service that was paid for by
himself/herself or another person/entity prior to getting the service.
Termination
Refers to the end of the Insured Dependent’s insurance coverage, usually due to the
coverage’s term ending or due to cancellation. Termination date is the date his/her
insurance coverage ends.
6.1 The Insured Dependent’s coverage and it benefits will terminate on any of the following
days, whichever is the earliest:
Termination Date stated in his/her Policy Details Page(s); or
Effective date of your request for cancellation of your Policy; or
Effective date of your request for cancellation of his/her coverage; or

The date his/her coverage terminates based on 7.1 above; or
The date we approved your claim for his/her benefit.
6.3 The Insured Dependent’s Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis Benefit will terminate on
any of the following days, whichever is the earliest:
The date his/her coverage terminates based on 7.1 above; or
The date we have approved the third (3rd) Late Stage Critical Condition Diagnosis claim
under his/her coverage.
After the termination of Insured Dependent’s coverage, we will have no more liability under the
Insured Dependent’s except to return any unused premium to you.
Unused Premium
This is the portion of the premium paid that was not utilized due to the termination of
the Policy or the Insured Dependent’s coverage.
For example, the policy owner paid for a one (1) year coverage but during the eight (8th)
month of the policy year, the policy is terminated due to one of the reasons listed
above. We will return a portion of the premium corresponding to the remaining four (4)
months of the policy year to the policy owner. However, if the Policy terminates due to
a claim being approved, there will be no unused premium.
You can still file a claim after your Policy or benefit terminates provided the
hospital confinement, diagnosis, surgery, or death occurred while your Policy and
benefit were active.
Premiums must be continuously paid to keep the benefits active even for the
following scenarios:
o For Daily Hospital Cash Benefit — you have already claimed for one
hundred (100) Hospital Days in a Policy Year limit.
