Trauma insurance, sometimes called critical illness insurance, has been available in Australia since 1986. Trauma insurance can provide a lump sum payment in the event of a specified medical condition being diagnosed or a specified injury occurring. It is not uncommon for Financial Planners in Sydney to recommend trauma insurance or critical illness insurance as part of a wealth protection strategy.
Each policy may have a different number of illnesses and injuries covered. Cheaper policies will often provide a more limited number of illness and injuries whilst more expensive policies will generally provide cover for a wider and more diverse array of conditions. The most common claims under trauma insurance are:
- heart attacks
- coronary bypasses
- strokes
- cancer
Traumatic insurance can help to pay for medical expenses incurred as a result of the medically diagnosed condition. Furthermore, unlike life insurance, death is not a prequalification for making a claim.
Our Financial Advisors can help you determine:
- whether trauma insurance is something you and your family need
- what level of cover you will require
- what options or extras should be included in your trauma insurance policy
- which products are suited to your situation
- whether you can access trauma insurance through your superannuation fund
If you are comfortable proceeding, our Financial Advisors can help you apply for a policy and, if so required, assist you to make a claim.
