Critical Illness Health Insurance
What is Critical Illness Health Insurance?
Critical Illness Health Insurance is designed to provide financial support in the event of a diagnosis of a serious illness covered by the policy. Unlike traditional health insurance, which typically covers ongoing medical expenses, Critical Illness Insurance offers a lump sum payment upon diagnosis of specified illnesses such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. This payout can be used to cover treatment costs, medical bills, or other financial needs that arise during a critical illness, offering significant financial relief and peace of mind.
The policy generally includes a set list of covered conditions and requires a lump sum payout upon diagnosis, provided you meet any survival period conditions outlined in the policy. It does not cover routine medical expenses but is designed to help manage the substantial financial impact of severe health conditions. Understanding the specific illnesses covered, exclusions, and policy terms is essential to ensure the policy meets your needs and provides adequate financial protection.
