    Lightbulb FAQ : What is Critical Illness Cover?

    Critical Illness Cover is a type of health insurance that cover specific illnesses. Critical illness, unlike other health products, does not require insurance companies to reimburse on the event of hospitalisation. On the contrary, a one-time, tax-free lump sum is offered in the event of the diagnosis of a critical illness. This is a payout product.
