How Does Serious Illness Cover Work with Life Insurance?

Combining serious illness cover with life insurance can provide comprehensive financial protection. Here are five key aspects to consider.

Standalone vs. Accelerated Cover

Standalone serious illness cover operates independently from your life insurance, providing separate cover solely for serious illnesses. 

Accelerated cover combines both, allowing you to claim for a serious illness, which reduces the overall life cover amount. This approach can streamline your coverage but requires careful consideration of your future needs.

Policy Payouts

With life and critical illness cover, you receive a lump sum payout upon diagnosis of a specified illness. This payout can be used to cover medical expenses, household bills, or any financial obligations. The lump sum provides immediate financial relief, ensuring you can focus on recovery without financial stress.

Impact on Life Cover

When you claim under an accelerated policy, the payout for a serious illness reduces the remaining life insurance cover. This means that if you claim for a serious illness, the payout upon death will be less. Understanding this impact helps you plan for long-term financial security.

Combining Benefits

Combining life and critical illness cover allows you to benefit from both protections in one policy. This approach simplifies management and can often be more cost-effective than purchasing separate policies. It ensures comprehensive coverage, protecting in multiple scenarios.

Can I add serious illness cover to my life insurance policy application through Greenway Financial Advisors?

Yes, you have the option to add serious illness cover to your life insurance policy when you apply, either as accelerated or stand-alone cover. Accelerated cover reduces the life insurance payout by the amount claimed, while stand-alone cover does not affect the life insurance payout.
