Renewal age extend from 85 to 100 years old
- Critical illness insurance mainly supports our living expenses when we lose income due to illness. Most people have no income after retirement, and living expenses decrease accordingly, so Bowtie recommends reducing the critical illness coverage appropriately after age 65.
- But we understand that everyone has different needs. If your medical coverage or savings are insufficient, critical illness insurance can serve as a backup in old age.
- This upgrade gives you flexibility to choose whether to retain critical illness protection or how much to retain.
