Prudential Life Insurance Launches Free Corona Virus Benefit For Customers
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is impacting the world and threatening the lives and wellbeing of Ghanaians, Prudential Life Insurance Ghana has introduced the free Pru Covered-19 to support new and existing customers.
A statement issued by the company indicated that, the innovative Pru Covered-19 benefit takes effect from today, March 30, 2020, for existing customers and activated from the policy start date for new customers.
For the next 45 days, the benefit will provide Prudential Life customers with a COVID-19 cover under their in-force policies.
There is no waiting period for existing customers and a two-week waiting period for all new customers under this benefit due to the emergent nature of COVID-19.
The Pru Covered-19 includes: a Diagnosis Benefit which pays a lump sum once a customer receives an official COVID-19 diagnosis; a Hospitalisation Benefit due to COVID-19 that provides the customer with daily cash pay-outs for up to 30 days; a Death Benefit that pays a lump sum to the customer or their beneficiaries as a result of a COVID-19 related death.
