Critical illness insurance is a form of health insurance that provides a lump-sum payment should you become seriously ill. Although the types of illnesses covered differ from company to company, typical illnesses may include:

• cancer

• heart attack

• stroke

• blindness

• Alzheimer’s

• multiple sclerosis

• organ transplants

• kidney failure

• paralysis

Coverage can also vary according to the degree of severity of, or conditions associated with, an illness or disease. For instance, if you are diagnosed with a type of cancer that is treatable and that results in minimal "down time", you may not be eligible to make a claim. Coverage cannot be purchased for a pre-existing condition or illness.
