[FETV=장기영 기자] Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance announced on the 5th that it has launched the ‘Meritz Sequel to Digestive System Disease Insurance’, which covers a wide range of digestive system diseases.
This product guarantees the cost of diagnosis for hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, such as liver abscess, specific gallbladder, cholangitis, and acute pancreatitis, which are increasing in the number of patients due to an increase in obesity, drinking and smoking.
In addition, to prevent the risk of serious diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, which increase the probability of developing fatty liver, the disease management support fee for fatty liver has been added. In case of fatty liver diagnosis accompanied by 80 IU/L or more and 200 IU/L or more, depending on the liver enzyme level, the insurance premium is paid separately.
In addition, the cancer diagnosis cost is subdivided and guaranteed for each part of the digestive system such as stomach, colon, liver and pancreas.
The age to join the product is from 15 to 65 years old. Type 1 (renewal type) is available at maturity of 10, 20, or 30 years, and Type 2 (renewal type) is available at 80, 90, or 100 years of age.
An official from Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance said, “We have developed a product so that digestive system diseases, a concern of modern people, do not lead to bigger diseases.”
