Critical Illness Insurance

Why Do I Need Critical Illness Insurance?

Critical illness insurance, unlike private health insurance, will pay you a cash lump sum in the event that you develop a critical illness. By covering yourself with a critical illness insurance you can protect your mortgage by having your monthly outgoings covered to an amount decided upon by you and your insurer.

Critical illnesses include things like cancer, heart disease, strokes and multiple sclerosis etc. By having a critical illness insurance you can ease the financial worry in the event that something unforeseen happens, leaving you time to concentrate on healthcare and recuperation.

You may have to make decisions about the number of critical illnesses that you would like to be insured for and the amount you want to be covered for by your insurance policy. Often people choose to cover their largest monthly outgoings such as the mortgage.

Critical illness insurance is usually more expensive than private health insurance. If you are unsure about the critical illness insurance then you should consult an independent financial advisor to discuss it further.
