ORIX Life Launches New Riders for Medical Insurance "New CURE" and "New CURE Lady"

Aug 24, 2015


TOKYO, Japan - August 24, 2015 - ORIX Life Insurance Corporation ("ORIX Life"), a subsidiary of ORIX Corporation announced today that it has renewed the protection of its medical insurance products "New CURE" and "New CURE Lady," which will be released on October 2, 2015.
 
ORIX Life started offering "CURE" medical insurance based on the concept of "simple and easily understood" and "rational coverage with reasonable premiums" in 2006. In September 2013, the product was renewed into "New CURE" after its coverage including "an unlimited number of hospitalization days" was revisited. The new product has been well received among customers, selling over 500,000 new policies in 1 year and 7 months since its launch. Now it will evolve into a product covering customers' larger anxieties by absorbing their wide range of needs for medical insurance through the "Lump-Sum Payment for the Three Severe Diseases Rider," the first in the industry(*), which provides an unlimited number of lump-sum payments if diagnosed with cancer, acute myocardial infarction, or cerebral stroke (limited to once a year each) and the new "Lump-Sum Payment for Cancer Rider" which provides an unlimited number of lump-sum payments if diagnosed with cancer (limited to once a year).
Furthermore, medical insurance tailored to female customers "New CURE Lady" with ample coverage for female specific diseases and cancers has been renewed to allow attachment of the much desired "Seven Lifestyle-Related Diseases Hospitalization Benefit Act."

ORIX Life will continue to develop insurance products fine-tuned to customer needs, while further enhancing services, with the view to becoming a life insurer that delivers true customer satisfaction.

*The rider that pays an unlimited number of lump-sum payments (limited to once a year each) contingent upon hospitalization (confirmed diagnosis for the initial payment in case of cancer) is the first in the industry (according to a survey by ORIX Life).
