Despite being in the best of health in the present, anything can happen in the future which may impact you health, and your ability to work. If an illness reduces your capacity to work or stops you from working entirely, this will impact your income. The critical illness insurance policies are designed keeping such eventualities in mind, and they are a life saver when fate deals you a telling blow.
These are long term policies, and can be taken to cover a specific term or your entire life. In case you contract a critical illness, a lump sum amount will be paid to you. Such an amount will come in very handy for continuing treatment in a private hospital, for clearing the mortgage or running the household. The more advanced incurable stages of cancer, heart attacks, Alzheimer’s, kidney failure, neuro-motor damage, and limb amputation or loss are just a few of the ailments which are eligible for this cover.
