TOKYO, May 13, 2021 - LIFENET INSURANCE COMPANY (TSE Mothers 7157, President Ryosuke Mori, URL: https://ir.lifenet-seimei.co.jp/en/)announces that it will launch sales of new long-term disability product Hataraku-Hito3 on June 1, 2021 (scheduled).

Long-term Disability

Hataraku-Hito 3

  • What is long-term disability insurance?

Long-term disability insurance differs from conventional medical insurance that provides support for hospitalization and surgery expenses. This insurance enables policyholders to receive benefits each month just like a salary when they are ill or injured and unable to work for a long period of time, so they will not experience hardship despite a decrease in income. Lifenet is the first company in the life insurance industry to begin full-scale sales of this product to individuals.

  • Three new features of long-term disability insurance, Hataraku-Hito3
    1. Payment terms of long-term disability benefit are easier to understand.
      • We changed the definition of long-term disability to link it to the public system (disability grades 1 and 2) and make it easier to understand the circumstances under which disability benefit will be paid.
    2. It provides an industry-first*1 new lump-sum benefit for people to support their return to work.
      • It takes time to restore one's physical condition and income to the previous level even after recovering from a disability. We have established new coverage that provides the industry-firstlump-sum benefit to support a return to work. It prepares for the economic burden of medical treatment costs and other expenses that arise even after returning to work, as well as instances in which a person is unable to work full-time.
    3. It covers short-term hospitalization, and depression and other mental illnesses in response to customer feedback.
      • We established a new hospitalization consolation benefit (14 days or longer) to cover short hospital stays as well. This was added in response to customers who also want hospitalization coverage for somewhat shorter periods of time even though the payment exclusion period has not elapsed.
      • We established a new lump-sum disability benefit for mental illness to also cover depression and other mental illnesses. This was added in response to customers who also want coverage for mental illnesses.
