ING has upgraded its OneCare life insurance offer, adding a host of new features and benefits to make insurance cover more flexible and relevant than ever.
High risk occupations, needle stick injuries, and pregnancy complications are some of the new cover options now available through OneCare, which extends cover to many people who were previously uninsurable.
OneCare’s enhanced Trauma definitions are a direct response to social trends and advances in medical technology, giving customers more complete cover for diseases like cancer and diabetes.
The enhancements apply to all ING OneCare clients, both existing and future, with no increases in premiums.
More than 70 product and underwriting enhancements are part of this significant upgrade package, including:
• Income Secure Special Risk — a new product specifically designed for previously uninsurable risks, covering over 140 previously uninsurable occupations including miners and bricklayers.
• Needle Stick Cover — up to $1 million protection against HIV for people in medical and nursing professions, the highest level of cover in the market.
• Baby Care Option — a new option to address the increased risks associated with the number of women delaying childbirth.
