Critical Illness Insurance coverage provides a lump-sum payment upon diagnosis of a covered illness. These illnesses typically include cancer, heart attack, stroke, and others specified in the policy. The payout can be used to cover medical expenses, and replace lost income.
Healthcare in Canada is renowned for being publicly funded, but there are still gaps in coverage, such as certain medications, treatments, and specialized care. Critical Illness Insurance fills these gaps by offering financial support beyond what provincial health plans provide. This ensures that Canadians can access the best possible care without worrying about the cost.
