My Review of the AIA Solitaire PA (II)
The AIA Solitaire PA (II) is a comprehensive accident insurance plan that covers you worldwide anytime.
It offers 4 different plans and 3 optional benefit groups, giving you 12 options to choose from.
With these plans, you receive financial protection for medical expenses, including traditional Chinese medicine and chiropractic treatments.
The plans vary in the amount of coverage, and the benefit groups determine the additional coverage you can get for more comprehensive coverage.
The best part is that you can enjoy all these benefits for as little as $0.61 per day, and you do not need to undergo a medical check-up to qualify for the AIA Solitaire PA (II).
For accidental death, the payout is doubled if it occurs in specific situations, such as while travelling on public or private transport, using personal mobility devices, or in cases of building fires.
This additional payout ensures even greater financial support for loved ones during accidental death.
In the event of a serious injury resulting in the loss of use of limbs, third-degree burns, or accidental death, you will receive a lump sum payout.
This provides sufficient funds to help you deal with the financial impact of such unfortunate circumstances.
If you selected the AIA Solitaire PA (II) Plan 2 and above, you can also enjoy a 10% premium discount on the AIA Star Protector Plus plan, which offers additional coverage options.
Furthermore, the AIA Solitaire PA (II) plan offers an optional monthly disability payout for up to 10 years if you cannot perform at least 2 Activities of Daily Living (ADL).
You will receive regular monthly payments without needing medical questions or assessments.
Nevertheless, this may not be the plan for everyone because what’s good for me might not suit you.
