One positive development of health insurance in the Philippines is that it has become essential for planning for the unexpected. But how do you pick the right insurance, and is it even necessary if you're enrolled in an HMO?
In response, BPI AIA developed Future Ready, a plan that doubles as health insurance but also offers coverage that aligns with your current needs.
Whether you’ve started your career, are expecting a baby, or are entering midlife, BPI AIA Future Ready has a matching option or package. Each one comes with three core benefits.
Future Ready guarantees your beneficiaries will receive 200% of your policy's coverage value minus any withdrawals if you pass away. If your policy's value or face amount is ₱500,000, your loved ones are guaranteed to receive ₱1 million*.
Insurance plans have a maturity or expiration date. If you outlive your policy’s term date, you typically receive a cash benefit. Future Ready provides a lump-sum payment that is 200% of your policy's value if you reach the age of 100 (excluding withdrawals).
Future Ready allows you to allocate payments or premiums to an investment fund, which can lead to significant cash value over time. Although there's no guaranteed minimum, you can withdraw money for financial or healthcare needs.
BPI AIAI Future Ready's core benefits are helpful on their own. But it takes a step further by providing three plans with personalized advantages, safeguarding what's most important to you now.
Your most valuable asset when starting your career is the ability to earn an income. BPI AIA Future Ready Protection offers financial security in case unforeseen circumstances prevent you from making a living.
Future Ready Protection provides a good balance between affordability and comprehensive coverage. With your cash flow in mind, you can choose to pay for five years, 10 years or until you reach age 65
Say you had a car accident, and your Future Ready Protection has a value or face amount of ₱500,000 with a 10-year payment term. You can claim a Personal Accident benefit worth ₱500,000*, so you can focus on your recovery without worrying about money.
Future Ready Protection's disability insurance can help cover living expenses if you become disabled and unable to work. Using the sample situation above, if you become disabled two years after your car accident, you can receive an additional ₱500,000* under the same terms.
Once you become disabled, you no longer have to pay premiums. But the life insurance stays in effect—your loved one still receives the death benefit if the unexpected happens. The sum can come to ₱1 million* with a policy face amount of ₱500,000.
Health or medical insurance in the Philippines is often considered an alternative to HMO. However, these two types of coverage can complement each other, especially when you’re expecting. BPI AIA Future Ready Health insurance plans provide financial support if you ever get sick, need to be hospitalized for a longer period or prepping for the costs of delivering your new bub.
Future Ready Health lets you use 90% of your policy's value or face amount if you get hospitalized, emergency care, or surgery. You can also use the money to consult a specialist, take medical tests or purchase prescription drugs required for long-term outpatient care.
If you need a more extended hospital stay, Future Ready Health insurance provides a daily allowance for your confinement. For example, your Future Ready Health plan has a value of ₱500,000. You are entitled to a hospital income benefit of ₱1,000* daily for 150 days to help pay for your room and board.
A Future Ready Health plan covers 10 critical illnesses, from heart attack to cancer. Upon diagnosis, you can claim a lump sum cash benefit equal to your policy's face amount. The critical illnesses covered are the following:
If you experienced a stroke, terminal illness, or any of the covered critical illnesses, you won't have to worry about making payments or premiums anymore. Your core benefits remain.
It's okay if you're in your 40s without health insurance in the Philippines. Instead, you may find BPI AIA Future Ready Legacy a better option. The Legacy plan keeps all Future Ready's core benefits intact. Here are some of the best ways to use it.
Utilize Future Ready Legacy to boost your retirement income. You can take out a 10-year policy with a ₱1 million* face amount. Make sure it's linked to an investment fund and allow the cash value to grow for a certain period, so it serves as a savings vehicle. Depending on your policy, you can arrange with BPI AIA to receive the dividends as a lump sum or annually.
You can purchase Future Ready Legacy for your children as soon as they're born, making them insured. Future Ready Legacy also automatically attaches a Payor’s Benefit on Death and Disability rider when the insured is a minor (age 0-17). If you, as the policy owner, become disabled or pass away, all future premium payments will be waived so your child can continue to use the policy.
