Fulfilment of the 2-month waived waits on Extras

  • HBF will waive the 2-month waiting period on eligible HBF Extras of the product you selected upon joining, effective from the policy start date. However, claims will only be paid once your policy is financial (i.e., payment has been made). You may submit a manual claim before your policy becomes financial and it will be honoured once your policy is up to date. Waiting periods for extras that are longer than 2 months and all hospital treatment waiting periods, still apply.
  • If you’re switching from another fund, your available limits will be adjusted to take into account any extras benefits you have received this calendar year from your previous fund. This may affect your ability to claim.

Reservation of Rights:

HBF reserves the right to amend, add to, or end this offer, along with its terms and conditions, at any time without notice. Changes made will be effective immediately and will be reflected in the Terms and Conditions.
