Claiming for a critical illness?

Check your claim eligibility
It’s always a good idea to first check that the policy covers your claim. You can do this either by emailing customer_care.kh@fwd.com or feel free to give us a call via 087 339 982.
Make a note of our timelines
You need to submit all related medical paperwork including any reports or certificates from your doctor.
Please note we can only start processing your claim after we’ve received all completed forms and all the documents we need.

You are welcome to email us to check if your documents and forms are in order. Please email customer_care.kh@fwd.com.

1. Prepare and send us the following documents

Certified true copy
Certified true copy means it's a signed copy of an original document. This then needs a new signature from you, the claimant (even if it's already been signed by you or somebody else).

Any medical examination reports such as lab investigations, CT results, pathology reports, or MRI results.
- Please note these must be signed by somebody with the relevant authority to sign-off on your original documents. For example, it might be the lab technician or the hospital/clinic manager or the person who performed any treatment or tests.

All your official medical paperwork.
- This can be a handwritten or a printed statement but it must from your doctor with their signature and/or clinic stamp, stating the results of any medical diagnosis or examination.
- Medical reports, paperwork or certificate following a doctor or hospital visit at least 14 days after you were diagnosed with the critical illness.

Your questions answered

We believe it's part of our job to make the claims experience as easy as possible. These are some of the questions you might have and the answers we can give you. If you’re unsure about anything, simply get in touch.

When will you make a decision on my claim?

We aim to make a claims decision within 14 working days after we’ve received all completed forms and all the documents we need. Please ensure you send us everything we need as we can’t start to process your claim until we have everything we need.

Please note that occasionally we need more time to make a decision on a claim. This could be for a number of reasons - for example the type of claim, how complex the case is, and whether we have all the information and documents we need.

How and when will you pay me?

Once your claim is approved, we'll send a cheque. For some claims you can select your preferred method to receive your claim. If this is the case, we’ll highlight this on the claims form. We aim to make all claims payments within five working days.

After I've made a claim, how long should I keep my original documents?

Please keep all original copies of any documents until we make a claim decision. This is because occasionally we need to see these to either verify a claim or as part of our own internal auditing and checks.
