Specified Major Surgical Benefit was announced for the first time in 1992 Actuarial Valuation. This benefit has been retained in 2022 Valuation. This benefit is available to all with profit policies, which have been in full force as at 31st December 2022 and have been continuously in force for at least five complete policy years at the date of surgery. The maximum benefit for such policies is Rs. 250,000/-. However, if with-profit policies have been in full force as at 31st December, 2022 and have been continuously in force for at least ten complete policy years at the date of surgery then the maximum benefits for these policies will be Rs.500,000/-.
Under such policies, if the life assured undergoes specified major surgery during the inter-valuation period i.e. from 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023 on account of a specified dread disease, the Corporation would pay 50% of the basic sum assured [in case of Anticipated Endowment plan, 50% of the remaining sum assured after deducting any due survival benefit(s)], subject to the above given maximum payment. The amount payable will be adjusted against future payments under the policy such as Survival Benefits, Maturity Claims or Death Claims.
Explanation This benefit is free of cost and provides valuable relief to the life insured if he/ she undergoes specified major surgery from 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023. The cost of the benefit will be met out of the actuarial surplus revealed by the 31st December 2022 Actuarial Valuation. The following questions provide details regarding the benefit:
1. Which policies will be eligible for the benefit?
To be eligible for the benefit, all the following conditions must be fulfilled:
The continuation of the Scheme to cover surgery after December 31, 2023 will depend on the actuarial valuation due as at December 31, 2023.
If the policy was in force under the grace period at the date of the surgery, it will be considered in full force for this purpose provided the relevant premium was paid in full during the grace period, or advanced by State Life under the APL option. A policy in force on December 31, 2022 which later on lapsed or became auto surrendered and was then revived before surgery will not be eligible for benefit in respect of surgery during January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. However, if the scheme is continued beyond December 31, 2022, to be decided after the actuarial valuation as at December 31, 2023, then such a policy may be eligible for surgery after December 31, 2023 subject to the terms and conditions decided after the 2023 actuarial valuation.
The following surgical procedures are covered, provided they were caused by disease and not traumatic injury:
Undergoing of open heart surgery to correct narrowing or blocking of two or more coronary arteries with by-pass grafts. Laser treatments and/ or reliefs, balloon angioplasty and/ or any other procedures not necessitating thoracectomy will be excluded.
The coronary by-pass surgery must be a direct result of a diagnosis of definite coronary artery disease by accepted angiography
The actual undergoing of open heart surgery for a disease of the aorta needing excision and surgical replacement of the diseased aorta with a graft. For the purpose of this definition, aorta shall mean the thoracic and abdominal aorta but not its branches.
The replacement of one or more heart valves with artificial valves due to stenosis or incompetence, or a combination of these conditions. Valvotomy is specifically excluded.
The actual undergoing of a transplant of a heart, heart and lung, liver, kidney or bone marrow as a recipient.
Any major neuro-surgical procedure on or in the brain, involving craniotomy.
Any major surgical procedure which is the direct result of cancer. For this purpose, cancer means a malignant tumor characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of malignant cells and the invasion of tissue. Malignancy must have been evidenced by medical investigations. Excluded are: (a) non-invasive cancers in situ; (b) any skin cancers other than malignant melanoma; and (c) male prostate cancer if limited to the prostate.
The benefit will consist of an accelerated payment of 50% of the basic sum assured under the policy (excluding the sum assured under any supplementary contracts), subject to a maximum of Rs. 250,000 for policies in full force for at least five years and a maximum of Rs. 500,000 for policies in full force for at least ten years as at the date of surgery. The benefit will be subject to the following further conditions:
The accelerated benefit payable under all policies taken together will depend on the number of the years policies have been continuously in full force. For the policies that have been continuously in full force for at least five years but less than ten years, the maximum benefit paid under all such policies together will be limited to Rs.250,000/- or 50% of the sum assured, whichever is less.
For policies that are continuously in full force for at least ten years, the maximum benefit payable under each policy is limited to Rs.500,000/- or 50% of the sum assured, whichever is less.
The benefit will be paid (at 50% of the basic endowment benefits outstanding subject to the maximum amount) from the policy issued first to the insured. If the amount paid is less than the maximum limit then the amount will be paid from the second policy issued and so on subject to the maximum limit. In other words, if life insured is covered under multiple policies and is eligible for surgical benefit, then the benefit will be paid from the policy issued first to the life insured.
5. How will APL or cash loans be treated?If there is an APL or Cash Loan under the policy, the accelerated payment on surgery will first be used to pay off the "APL and/ or Outstanding cash loan including any other encumbrances". The remaining part of the accelerated benefit after this adjustment will be paid to the policyholder.
6. How will the surrender value be calculated after specified major surgical benefit is paid?If specified major surgical benefit is paid, it will affect the basic surrender value of the policy from which it is paid. The subsequent surrender value of the policy will be reduced proportionate to the outstanding endowment benefit advanced. Suppose the benefit consists of an accelerated payment of 50% of the basic sum assured, then the subsequent surrender value will be 50% of the basic surrender value had no specified major surgical benefit been paid.
The surrender value of accrued bonuses will not be affected by the payment of the specified major surgical benefit.
The total surrender value of the policy would be the reduced basic surrender value of the policy plus the surrender value of the accrued bonuses.
7. What will be the position of the policy after the accelerated benefit payment?The benefit will be payable only once to any one life. If the life insured again undergoes any surgery whatsoever, no benefit will be payable even if the later surgery was of a different type from the first surgery for which benefit was paid.
Likewise, the benefit will be payable only once under any policy. This means that under Joint Life or JeevanSaathi policies, or other policies under which there is more than one life insured, if any accelerated benefit has been paid in respect of one life, then neither life insured will be eligible for any future surgical benefit.
Evidence satisfactory to State Life of having had the eligible surgery will have to be provided by the claimant at his own cost. The claimant will have to file the original policy document and submit a personal statement.
Confidential statement will also be required from the physician making the original diagnosis and the concerned surgeon(s), including the surgeon who performs the operation. State Life may require any additional proof it deems necessary, including but not limited to reports, test results and medical examination of the life insured. The decision of State Life shall be final and binding on all concerned.
If the policy is assigned, then the official discharge and written permission of the assignee must be filed before the accelerated benefit can be paid.
If the policy has an irrevocable beneficiary, or the policyholder/ policy owner is not the life insured, then the official discharge and written permission of the beneficiary/ policy owner must be filed before the accelerated benefit can be paid.
Under Joint Life and Jeevan Saathi policies, all the policyholders/ lives insured must sign the official discharge and give written permission for payment of benefit.
The benefit cannot be paid before the surgery takes place. It cannot be paid in anticipation of the surgery. Claims can be entertained only after the surgery takes place. The amount of benefit is independent of the cost of surgery. It is not intended to help to pay for the surgery, but rather to provide a lump sum of money to be disposed off as deemed fit by the claimant who gets it. The life insured may use it for post-operative care, or to recoup part of the cost of surgery, or in any other way he wants.
