ICICI Lombard and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance jointly launch 'iShield'

Chandigarh, June 28, 2023: ICICI Lombard General Insurance and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance have jointly launched an insurance solution, 'iShield', which will provide customers with both health and life insurance. iShield, will enable customers to take care of expenses required for medical treatments. Besides, it will also provide a lump sum amount to the family in case of the unfortunate demise of the policyholder.
 

The health insurance component covers expenses related to hospitalisation, day-care treatments, pre and post hospitalisation, and homecare treatment, to name just a few. On the other hand, the life insurance cover will continue till the age of 85 ensuring the family has sufficient financial resources to continue with their lives.
 
Health ailments and the risk of loss of life pose the greatest threat to customers and their family’s financial security. The twin benefits of health and life insurance, offered by this solution, make this a must-have to ensure financial security.
 

iShield, with its two-in-one benefit will provide customers the convenience of managing their health and life insurance needs through a single proposition instead of purchasing separate products for each of them. Customers can easily purchase this solution by filling in a single application and undergoing a medical check-up. Besides the vast agent network, multiple easy-to-use touchpoints such as the company website or the mobile app will provide customers a hassle-free purchase and premium payment experience.
