Understand what triggers a claim
A diagnosis alone may not be enough. Covered conditions, definitions, exclusions and survival periods are set by the contract.
Critical illness insurance
Critical illness insurance for the costs of recovery
A covered serious illness can affect income, family routines and business responsibilities. Review how a policy’s definitions, survival periods, exclusions and benefit limits apply before making a decision.

Where planning can help
Protect what matters. Keep your next chapter in view.
- Recovery may require time away from work even when treatment is publicly covered.
- Household, mortgage and childcare costs continue during treatment.
- A business owner may need liquidity while revenue or capacity is reduced.
- Family members may also lose work time while providing care.
Choose an amount tied to a real need
Coverage can be considered against income interruption, debt, treatment-related travel, household support and business obligations rather than an arbitrary round number.
Compare term and longer-duration options
Premium structure, coverage period, conversion features and return-of-premium options can change both cost and long-term value.
Coordinate it with disability and life insurance
Critical illness, disability and life insurance respond to different events. A useful review identifies which financial risk each policy is intended to cover.
Common questions
Answers to help you plan
How is critical illness insurance different from disability insurance?
Critical illness coverage may pay a lump sum when a diagnosis meets the policy's conditions. Disability coverage may pay a monthly benefit when illness or injury prevents work under the contract definition. A diagnosis alone does not mean both policies will pay.
