A Guide to Critical Illness Cover

3. What do I need to know about critical illness cover?

Before you decide to take out a policy, the insurance company should give you a key features leaflet. This will give you important information about the policy you are considering and what the policy covers. This information can help you compare different companies' policies. Your financial adviser or insurance company will be able to answer any questions you have.
