Introduction to Critical Illness Insurance

Critical illness insurance provides financial assistance to policyholders upon diagnosis of a life-threatening medical condition requiring significant funds for treatment. Unlike typical health insurance, critical illness coverage pays out a lump sum amount upon diagnosis of a covered disease or condition. This payment can be used for any treatment-related costs, including medical bills, lost wages due to lifestyle changes, and more.

Eligibility Criteria

The applicant should consider the following criteria:

Minimum age: 18 years
Maximum age: 65 years
