Should I upgrade my AIA Triple Critical cover (till 100) to Power Critical Cover (till 100)? Can I add on riders after the plan has started?

Hi, I currently have an AIA TCC for 1 year and recently AIA mailed me for a free upgrade to PCC (till 100 Year old) the difference in premium is 1k (TCC) compared to 1.2k (PCC). I was thinking since, the PCC cover have up to 500% claims, more CI conditions covered, I would be better off upgrading? Also, i just found out that there is an early critical waiver of premium rider available. Can fellow FA out there advise if it's possible to add on the rider even after i have already bought the plan?

Hi there, I represent my clients at AIA Singapore - let me see if I can help you.

In most cases, it may be valued to consider the upgrade, especially if the premium difference is not huge. Here is some of the reasons why:

  1. Covers a total of 150 critical illness conditions now

  2. Enhanced coverage of $250k for early critical illness

  3. 5 times power reset feature

  4. 200% of insured amount for power relapse feature

  5. Includes coverage for pre-early conditions, e.g. Type 2 Diabetes

With some of these benefits in mind, it has certainly set a new benchmark in the industry, especially with the first and only in the market pre-early cover (#5)

Addition of rider is only for AIA Power Critical Cover and is subject to underwriting approval.

I hope this helps. =)

No knowledge of TCC / PCC but on the rider piece; you can generally add riders after initial purchase - but do note there would be underwriting done (and due to concerns about anti-selection, any concessions on initial sale unlikely to be given so expect a fairly full scale UW)
