Dec 14, 2022

TOKYO, Japan - December 14, 2022 - ORIX Life Insurance Corporation (“ORIX Life”) announced today that it will launch PRIME Specified Disease Insurance ("the product") for corporate customers on February 2, 2023.

The product is a fixed-term insurance focused on the risk of specified diseases such as cancer (malignant neoplasm), acute myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke, that also provides coverage for unexpected death. This product can be utilized as a financial resource for the business security funds, for risks such as long-term absence of an executive in the event that they suffer from a specified disease. Additionally, in order to reduce the burden of application procedures for busy executives, it is possible to apply for a policy of up to 100 million yen with a written notice for this product.

[Main Features]
(1) Funds for business security and other financial resources secured with specified diseases and death benefit

The policy term can be selected up to 98 years of age, and in addition to specified diseases, coverage in the event of an unexpected death can provide business executives with the necessary business security funds (up to 100 million yen of the base insurance coverage amount).
(2) Cash-surrender value and withdrawal funds*1 can be accessed in the event that coverage is no longer required
In case of business conditions worsening, the cash-surrender value can be used as a source of funds to stabilize business operations or as a source of retirement benefits.
* When the policy is surrendered, there will be no further coverage.
(3) Application can be made with only a written notice*2
If the insured has satisfied predetermined conditions such as a medical checkup or comprehensive medical screening within the past 14 months, they can apply for coverage of up to 100 million yen*3 with the written notice form for this product.

The average age of executives reached a record high of 60.3 years in 2021, and the number of patients with specified diseases after the age of 60 is on the rise*4. We designed this product to be used as an insurance policy to prepare for situations where it takes time to return to the workplace or the return to work becomes impossible, and to protect our customer's valued company.
ORIX Life will continue to provide offerings that meet the needs of the times, and will strive to continue to be an insurance company chosen by many customers.
