Features & Benefits offered by Reliance Critical Illness Insurance​


A Critical Illness Policy is a cover specifically designed to give protection to a particular person against a life-threatening disease. Any critical illness is long-lasting and may require multiple visits to a hospital. What this means for the person is that there will be a lot of economic burden of not only the hospital costs but doctor visits and other medical expenses as well. A critical illness cover is designed in a way that it can pay a lump sum amount for all those expenses. Also, the good news is that this lump sum amount is in addition to any kind of health insurance that you may already have.

Health emergencies can hit you at the most unexpected times and it is thus necessary to be prepared for this. The family not only struggles with the treatment cost and mental strain but they are also dealing sometimes with the loss of family income.

Why Is It Important To Have A Critical Illness​ Insurance​ Cover?

Now treating a critical illness is an altogether different process and it takes time and money to treat such illness. If you are an earning member of the family and you're diagnosed with a critical illness you may have to skip work to get treatment which means also cutting off the major income source for the family.

A normal health insurance plan will only cover for the hospitalisation cost and there will be no other benefit. Critical illness policy is necessar​y because it goes beyond normal insurance plans and helps you cover additional expenses as well. This policy provides a l​ump​sum benefit to the customers which is very beneficial. The lack of critical illness insurance can be a trouble as it could drain your years of savings in just a month and could hit the family very hard economically. You can buy critical illness insurance online to have a secure future for your family and plan the needful.

Who Should Buy Critical Illness Insurance Policy?

Due to medical inflation, we all know that the cost of health care is rising day by day. In case of a critical illness, a person is hospitalized and the cost of treatment can go sky-high and could be dif​ficult for the person to manage. The modern-day hectic lifestyle is causing trouble to us all and this includes a rise in cases of cancer, kidney failure or coma, etc.

While critical illness policy is meant for everyone, here are people who should have it as a​ must - 

1. Pe​ople With A Family History Of Critical Illness

Many of the critical illnesses are hereditary and thus there is a major risk of developing a critical illness for some who have a history of the same in the family. Thus, those with some history in the family must opt for a critical illness ​insurance plan.

2. Breadwinners

The role of the breadwinner for a family is very important. If something happens to them then it will affect the whole family and not only their present but the future of the family will be greatly affected. To be safe from these unpleasant financial situations one must get a critical illness policy for themselves as the primary breadwinner of the house so their family is secure in case something happens to them.

3. Above 40

All the people above 40 are at higher risk of developing a critical illness and thus it is advised to buy a critical illness policy in the later stages as early as possible to manage the premium amount easily.
