Your questions about critical illness insurance
Does every serious diagnosis qualify?
No. Each policy defines the conditions and severity it covers. We help you read those definitions before applying.
How much cover should I consider?
Consider time away from work, household expenses, care needs and savings available during recovery.
How does it differ from health insurance?
Health insurance generally addresses eligible medical expenses. Critical illness cover may provide a separate benefit if a defined condition meets the policy terms.
What should I compare between insurers?
Review condition definitions, exclusions, waiting and survival periods, benefit limits and whether a payment reduces other cover.
