Leading life insurer Pru Life UK continues to provide its customers protection from COVID-19, with the latest offering of its free PRUPersonal Accident insurance with COVID-19 and vaccine cover valid for one year through Pulse, the company’s all-in-one health and wealth app.

“With the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the country, Pru Life UK would like to provide peace of mind with exclusive insurance coverage at no cost to the public that will help alleviate their financial worries in these uncertain times. This is part of our continuing commitment for WeDO health, for the health and wealth protection of more Filipinos, an initiative that started with our free COVID-19 protection we offered in April last year, now further bolstered with the inclusion of the COVID-19 vaccine coverage this year,” shares Antonio G. De Rosas, Pru Life UK President and CEO.

The free Personal Accident – Accidental Death and Disablement/Dismemberment (PA-ADD) Benefit Plan with COVID-19 & COVID-19 Vaccine Protection Cover, the first and most comprehensive coverage in the industry, provides for a death benefit or lump sum amount for the bereaved family if the insured passes away due to the following, subject to terms and conditions:

• Php 25,000 if death is due to accident
• Php 10,000 burial benefit will be added if the death is due to illnesses or natural causes, and not due to an accident

This free limited-time offer is available until May 31, 2021 for the first 250,000 registrants in Pulse. Filipinos aged 18 to 64 and residing in the Philippines are eligible for this offer.
