About Critical Illness Cover

Critical Illness Cover (CIC), is an insurance policy that normally provides a cash lump sum to the policyholder if they are diagnosed with a specific illness. For the insurance to payout, the specific illness must be named on the policy documents.

CIC is now far more comprehensive than it was in previous years. For example, some insurers will provide cover for over 33 critical conditions including Cancers, Heart Attacks and Strokes.

For the policy to payout, the insurer would simply need to see confirmation of the diagnosis from a qualified doctor.

What Our Clients Have To Say

Pros

Here are some of the benefits of taking a CIC policy:

– Financial Flexibility 

When a CIC policy pays, you can use the lump sum at your discretion. Many claimants use the money for home improvements if they require alterations as a result of their critical illness.

– Safeguards Your Family

If you have a primary earner, a CIC policy may be able to financially safeguard your family in the short-term if you were diagnosed with a critical illness.

– Tax Free Payout

Any payout is tax-free, meaning that you have access to the full lump sum that you are insured for.

Cons

Like with any insurance, there are some drawbacks. Here are a few to consider:

– Expensive Premiums

CIC premiums are typically more expensive than similar cover for life or income protection. The reason for this is that CIC policies are far more likely to payout. Sadly, it’s a fact that 1 in 2 people develop some form of cancer.

– Range of Coverage

With CIC, you will only be covered for the critical conditions that are listed in the policy documents. Fortunately, CIC policies are now very comprehensive with most providers.

– Exclusions

For example, if you have a clear family history of a critical illness, it may be applied as an exclusion to your policy.
