A Guide to Critical Illness Cover

13. What if I decide I don't want the policy after all?

Most policies have a cooling-off period (usually 14 days from when you receive your policy). During that period you can tell your insurance company that you want to cancel the policy and receive a refund of any premiums that you have paid.
