What you re covered for Cigna s insurance promise Provided the terms and conditions are met and the premiums are up to date Cigna promises to pay the benefit(s) as set out in the policy summary and described here. Term Life Benefit If the life insured dies, Cigna will pay the current cover amount to you. Living Benefit If the life insured is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Cigna will pay you an early payment of the current cover amount, up to a maximum of $500,000. If Cigna pays a living benefit equal to the current cover amount, the policy will end and no further premiums will be payable. If the living benefit paid is less than the current cover amount, this will be reduced by the amount paid and the premiums will be adjusted to reflect the reduced cover. The remaining cover amount will be payable on the death of the life insured. 1 2

Crisis Cover Benefit If the life insured is diagnosed with one of the conditions listed below, Cigna will pay you the crisis cover benefit shown on the most recent policy summary. The crisis cover benefit will end on the anniversary date immediately prior to the life insured s 65th birthday. If a crisis cover benefit is paid, the current cover amount will be reduced by the amount paid and the premiums will be adjusted to reflect the reduced cover. The remaining cover amount will be payable on the death of the life insured. Only one crisis cover benefit is payable under this policy, if a crisis cover benefit is paid, the policy will still provide cover for the term life and living benefits. If a terminal illness is covered under both living benefit and crisis cover, Cigna will pay the higher of the two benefits. The crisis cover conditions covered are: Cancer means the presence of one or more malignant tumours. The malignant tumour is to be characterised by the uncontrolled growth and spread of malignant cells and the invasion and destruction of normal tissue for which major interventionist treatment or surgery (excluding endoscopic procedures alone) is considered medically necessary.
