    Claims

    You can check by contacting our customer services team on 1500525 or by emailing CustomerCare.id@fwd.com.

    We aim to complete the process within 14 working days (assuming we have all your documents). If any documents are missing, we’ll email to let you know. You can check the claim’s status by calling our customer services team on 1500525 or by emailing CustomerCare.id@fwd.com.

    We will notify you through your registered email, so please make sure your email address is always active. If you wish, you can also call our customer services team on 1500525 or by emailing CustomerCare.id@fwd.com.

    You can ask our customer care team via telephone, email, or live chat.  We’ll send the coordination of benefit letter to your registered email address.

    Head to our claims page which is over here. This has all the details you need.

    For loss of life claims, all funds will be transferred to the beneficiary’s account. This is the person you’ve nominated to receive the funds, should you (the customer) pass on.

    For health benefits, the funds will be transferred to your account, assuming you’re the customer (the policyholder).

    Our intention is always to pay a claim. But there are some claims that we simply can’t pay.  Here, we’ve listed out some of the main reasons as to why this might be the case:

    1. The claim doesn’t meet the original policy terms (what we agreed to cover).
    2. There’s been a misrepresentation in the claim. This is when important information appears to have been left out of the original application. For example, somebody may have forgotten to mention a pre-existing health condition which they’re now claiming for – but that we didn’t agree to cover.
    3. The claim was submitted outside of our agreed timeframe. It’s really important to submit any claim as quickly as possible.
    4. The claim has been listed in one of the policy exclusions. In other words, the policy excludes this particular event or condition.

    All of this is why, when you apply for insurance, it’s so important that you answer all questions fully and accurately. Because if you fail to disclose something in your application, this could impact any future claim.

    It’s also important that you understand exactly what you’re covered for. 

    Whatever happens, if we decline a claim, we commit to emailing you with our reasons why so please ensure you’ve registered a valid and active email address.

    This is where you (knowingly) already have a sign, symptom or medical record / diagnosis of an illness, medical condition or disease. It’s very important that you tell us about any pre-existing condition as, if we find that you haven’t disclosed it, this could impact your claim.

    First, we’re sorry for your loss. Head to our claims page which is over here . This has all the details you need.
