Do I Need Critical Illness Insurance?
Critical illness insurance is designed to provide coverage for life or a specified period against critical illnesses, diseases, and medical conditions. Unlike life insurance, which pays out upon your death, critical illness insurance provides a payout if you become physically or mentally impaired due to illness or disease.
What is Critical Illness Insurance?
This type of insurance offers a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the conditions specified in the policy. All you need is a diagnosis from your doctor; there's no need to prove loss of earnings or undergo special medical treatments to claim.
Key Considerations
- Policy Terms: The coverage amount and terms are determined at the start. You must survive at least 28 days after diagnosis to receive a payout.
- Policy Expiration: If the policy term ends without a diagnosis of a serious condition, no payout is made, and the policy simply ends.
Making an Informed Decision
Before deciding on critical illness insurance, consider the following:
1. Financial Needs: Determine how much money you’d need if you were to become critically ill and for how long you would need the coverage.
2. Covered Illnesses: The range of illnesses covered can vary between companies, so it’s essential to understand which conditions are included.
3. Policy Exclusions: Different insurers have varying exclusions, so carefully review the policy details and fine print.
By evaluating these factors, you can make a well-informed decision about whether critical illness insurance is right for you.
