Understanding Critical Illness Cover
Summary:
Critical illness cover is a form of insurance designed to provide financial security if you're diagnosed with a serious illness. It pays out a lump sum for specific illnesses outlined in your policy.Article Body:
Critical illness insurance offers peace of mind by providing financial support if you face a major health crisis. When diagnosed with one of the specified illnesses in your policy, you receive a lump sum payment.Policies differ among providers, so it's crucial to fully understand what your specific plan covers. Most coverages include core conditions such as cancer, heart attacks, kidney failure, major organ transplants, coronary bypasses, multiple sclerosis, and strokes. However, recent guidelines from the Association of British Insurers have clarified which conditions are eligible for claims.
Be aware of the exclusions inherent in these policies. For instance, less severe conditions like non-invasive skin cancer or early-stage prostate cancer may not be covered. Even for heart attacks, there must be clear medical evidence, like chest pains and E.C.G changes. Conditions stemming from angina may also be excluded.
Critical illness insurance is beneficial for everyone, from those with families to single individuals. It can help pay off mortgages or cover private medical treatments, offering advantages beyond life insurance, which only provides payouts upon death.
You can obtain critical illness cover between the ages of 17 and 70, often aligning with your mortgage term. Typically, there's a waiting period of about three months before you can file a claim.
With over 200 types of critical illness cover available, choosing the right one can be challenging. It's essential to understand the coverage level and be aware of any hidden exclusions, ensuring you're not overpaying for a policy that doesn’t meet your needs.
