Critical illness insurance provides you with a lump sum payment, called a benefit, if you become critically ill based on the defined conditions in the policy. Typically, these policies cover what is known as the big three: heart attack, stroke and life threatening cancer. However, policies may cover up to 25 defined conditions. If you suffer from one of the defined conditions and survive 30 days after the event and the diagnosis, the insurance company pays you the lump sum amount that you have purchased tax free.
Critical illness insurance policies are available as
no-medical as well as standard issue policies requiring medical evidence.
Critical illness insurance pays out while you are alive so that you can rest and recover without having to worry about having money to pay the bills depending on how much critical illness insurance you buy.
You should review your critical illness insurance policy if your circumstances change for the better or for the worse.
