Hi, I have a query on claims eligibility and need some input:
I have a whole life policy from GE (Multicare WL) with PA rider (Comprehensive Accident Benefits), which is still an active policy.
I had a fall recently and went to a specialist clinic to fix my knee. This 'event' should be considered as under PA coverage, yes?
Per the agent, she said GE will only pay if there is a medical leave advice (MC) from the doctor for 7 days. I do have the MC but it is for 4 days only. Can I still do the claim, will GE pay?
I was not aware of this type of condition/exclusion as this policy is now 20 years old.
Does Prulink's PA rider has this type of condition/exclusion as well? If not I might claim from Pru instead.
I do already have all the supporting docs (xray, ultrasound, doctors report, receipts, etc).
Thanks in advance.

QUOTE(roystevenung @ Oct 10 2015, 09:23 AM) I will leave the GE issue to other agent. Please PM to me your PruLink PA rider policy coverage detail (snap a photo) so that I may advice on what can be claim. Thank you roystevenung May I ask if I claim from this benefit instead of the PA rider: Emergency Treatment for Accidental Injury (PruFlexi Med). This is pre-hospitalization, and I never did need to go to hospital after the specialist has 'fixed' my knee. Attachment is snapshot from policy. Thanks again. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(ExpZero @ Oct 10 2015, 03:58 PM) You should be able to claim the medical bill under Comprehensive Accident Benefits rider.
What your agent are saying is actually weekly benefit, which is standard across the industry where you will be able to claim "MC" if it's more than 7 days as pocket money compensation. Thanks ExpZero, I can see what you mean from this "pocket expenses" in the CAB rider. Maybe she thought the 7 days minimum MC will also apply to claim the benefit.
