Understanding Critical Illness Insurance:

The risk of critical illness rises with age, imposing substantial mental and financial stress on those affected. Introduced in 1996, Critical Illness Insurance is an additional medical cover beyond standard health insurance. Critical Illness Insurance provides financial coverage for emergencies such as heart attacks, bypass surgery, or cancer. The costs associated with life-threatening diseases are extensive, and standard health insurance covers a fixed amount, leaving patients to bear the remaining expenses. Treatment for critical illnesses can have a detrimental impact on an individual’s or family’s financial health. This insurance covers a lump sum amount, starting from $25,000 and more, upon diagnosis of a critical disease or severe illness. The premium depends on the desired coverage and the corresponding insurance amount.
