Pru Life UK launches free COVID-19 protection and Personal Accident via its PULSE health app

In an effort to help FIlipinos prevent, postpone, and protect themselves from the current health crisis, the leading life insurer Pru Life UK is offering free COVID-19 protection and Personal Accident (PA) coverage. 

It is a FREE, one-time, 45-day insurance product that safeguards Filipinos and their families from death and disablement. Starting April 11, 2020, all Filipinos aged 18 to 64 can enjoy this limited, exclusive offer, which includes a death benefit or lump sum amount of P 100,000 for the bereaved family if the insured passes away due to accident, or as a result of COVID-19, subject to terms and conditions. Eligible health workers will receive a double COVID-19 death benefit worth P 200,000.

To register for the offer, eligible Filipinos need to download the free Pulse app from Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. App registrants are required to create an account and complete their profiles while existing Pulse registrants will receive an in-app notification directing them to complete their profiles in order to register for the free COVID-19 protection. Applicants will also be requested to complete the profiles of their beneficiaries through Pulse. A confirmation email will be sent to the policyowners and their beneficiaries upon successful registration.

Pru Life UK offers free COVID-19 protection  to the first 500,000 individuals who register their profiles on Pru Life UK’s artificial intelligence-powered health and wellness app that offers holistic health management. Coverage commences from the date of registration.
