FAQ
This provides you with the frequently asked questions and answers that our customers like to know
Q. Does WrLife medical insurance cover Cancer, chronic disease (a disease that persists for a long time), genetic disorders, major accidents and major hospitalizations?
Yes, you need to be covered for major accidents and major hospitalizations. Do you really need a medical cover if you break your arm? This is not really necessary, because you can always find the money for that, and it is usually cheap.
You need to be covered for cancer, chronic disease, and genetic disorder, because they are very expensive.
With the improvements of the medicine, nowadays you received treatment (pills) at home without going to the hospital. A monthly treatment package can cost several thousand USD per month.
Wrlife covers, under Module 1, the cancer treatment including the treatment package that you take at home. Wrlife covers the treatment package for chronic disease under Module 2.
WrLife does not exclude genetic disorders.
Q.Is it a medical lifetime cover?
Yes, lifetime.
Q.Is the aim of WrLife just to make money?
No. Many conventional insurance companies target high profits because they need to impress the stock markets. WrLife does not. We aim is to distribute a part of the profits to the insured and also to give back to the community by providing funding for foundations and similar projects.

No, in most cases if you visit a hospital that is part of our vast direct billing network, we will settle the bill with the hospital directly.

Q.What don't you cover?
There are some medical events that we do not cover. We believe they do not diminish the benefits of our plans and by excluding them we can make the plans more affordable for everyone.
By excluding unnecessary risks (e.g. consequences of alcohol consumption) or expenses which are incurred due to personal preferences (e.g cosmetic treatment) - medical costs can be minimized; thus ensuring the long term stability and affordability of our plan for all our members.
