Critical illness insurance pays a lump sum benefit should you be diagnosed with one of the covered conditions and survive the waiting period. When a critical illness strikes you may be faced with financial difficulty. There are numerous extra expenses involved in an illness such as: supplementing your spouse’s income as they may require time off to care for you, increased medical expenses and child care costs, or travelling to another location for specialized care. The cash flow provided by critical illness insurance can be used at your own discretion. It provides great flexibility so you are able to focus on your health without having to be concerned about your finances.
