Critical Illness Insurance

Critical Illness Insurance

Critical illness insurance is a type of insurance policy designed to provide financial support in the event that you are diagnosed with a severe illness covered by the policy. Unlike traditional health insurance, which typically covers medical expenses, critical illness insurance pays a lump sum benefit directly to you upon the diagnosis of a covered illness. This lump sum payment can be used as you see fit, whether it's to cover medical expenses, replace lost income, pay off debts, or ensure a comfortable recovery.

A critical illness diagnosis often comes with unexpected costs, including medical treatments, medications, and specialised care. This type of insurance helps you mitigate these financial burdens, allowing you to focus on your recovery instead of worrying about the associated expenses.

What Does Critical Illness Insurance Cover?

The illnesses covered by critical illness insurance can vary between insurance providers and policies. However, common covered conditions typically include:

• Cancer
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Kidney failure
• Organ transplant
• Multiple sclerosis
• Paralysis
