What is impairment insurance?

Provides financial support if you are diagnosed with a permanent illness or injury.

Protects you against the long-term financial impact of permanent illnesses or injuries such as paraplegia, blindness and dementia.

Cover starts at R100 000, and you can increase or decrease your premium whenever you want.

Claims are paid out to the policyholder, and payouts are tax-free.

Claims and payouts

When doesn't it pay out?

Momentum will not pay a claim if the insured person is not permanently impaired and if they are not receiving, or are refusing, the medical treatment they could reasonably be expected to undergo according to current best practice medical protocols; and which could substantially improve or remove the condition being claimed for.

Who gets paid?

The benefit amount will be paid out to the policyholder.

How long does it take to pay out a claim?

We will pay out as soon as permanence is established.

Is my claim payment taxable?

No. This benefit is tax-free.

Premiums

How do you work out my premium?

The premium depends on the person insured's age, gender, smoker status, and health as well as the premium pattern chosen at the outset of the policy.

What if I skip a payment?

If you skip a payment, the policy won’t lapse as long as we receive a payment within the 30 days grace period.

Cover term and amount

Will the cover amount change over time?

If the person insured chose an increasing cover amount during the application process, the cover amount will increase annually and so will the policy premium.

How long am I covered for?

The person insured can choose how long he/she wants to be covered for up to retirement age 65 or 70 years.

Can I increase or decrease my cover amount?

Yes, the cover amount can be changed through an alteration process.

What is the minimum and maximum cover amount I can get?

Minimum: R100 000
Maximum: R25 000 000
