Critical illness insurance is a term assurance which will pay out a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specified critical illness. Most providers cover a wide range of illnesses which you can look at by clicking on illnesses covered. The money from the policy can be used to help cope with losing your income, pay off your debts or fund your medical treatment.

A critical illness element can be added to a life cover policy but be aware that if the policy pays out on a critical illness claim it will not pay out again when you die. It is usually cheaper to combine life with critical illness cover but it is better to have two separate policies in some situations.
