Five reasons to offer our Critical Illness Cover

We’ve fine-tuned our protection to make it a better choice for you and your clients as illnesses, health and demands change. Here are five reasons to offer our cover.

 

With two-thirds of our claims being cancer-related, we know that clients are coming to you with concerns about cancer cover. So we’re adding cover where it’s needed.

Our additional payments protect your client’s lump sum, as it would still be paid in the event of a valid claim for one of our specified critical illnesses. Making our offering even more reassuring.

Unlike other providers, your clients’ kids don’t need to remain in full-time education to be covered.

With our cover, Wellbeing Support and Care Concierge begin on day one for the whole family and Wellbeing Support extends beyond the claim. Not just when serious illness happens.

With us, there’s no cut-off period for making a claim*. So your clients can concentrate on putting their recovery first.
