Why is Critical Illness Insurance Important and What Can it be Used For?

Why is critical illness insurance important?

Critical illness insurance helps cover the unexpected costs and potential loss of income associated with a serious illness. From the costs of medicine and treatment, to travel, specialist and home accommodations, treating and recovering from an illness can have a devastating financial impact. Plus, if you’re unable to work during your recovery, the impact is even greater.

What can this insurance be used for?

With critical illness insurance, if you become sick with one of the covered conditions covered by your policy and survive the waiting period, you receive a cash benefit. Benefit amounts available: $25,000, $50,000, $75,000. It provides one lump sum, tax-free cash benefit to the insured if a covered condition is diagnosed.
You can then use the funds as you wish!

What conditions are covered?
