What is Critical Illness Health Insurance?

A critical illness refers to an illness that is life-threatening. Critical illness insurance provides a lump sum amount if you are diagnosed with a serious illness after you buy the policy. Consider the skyrocketing costs of medical treatment for any major illness, such as cancer, and it becomes evident that buying a critical illness policy can be a great financial help. One can use this money for anything: from treatment to paying off debts or putting it away for the future. Health problems are unpredictable and are often unplanned. In such cases, the burden of paying for treatment costs can fall on your family. A family may also lose income due to the illness. Most of the time, a family dips into their savings kitty to cover these expenses, thereby losing funds set aside for other important goals such as their child’s education or for their own retirement. Critical illness insurance can provide the needed funds at the right time and ensure one does not erode lifetime savings.

With women-specific critical illness insurance, women can feel confident about their health. This women-specific critical illness plan guarantees lump sum cash payment for the best treatment for a life-threatening disease. The plan offers coverage to women against 8 specific critical illnesses.
