Things to think about

How does it work?

Specified Illness Cover pays you a lump sum if you are diagnosed with an illness covered in the policy. This means that you and your loved ones are protected financially. A specified illness policy differs from life cover or mortgage protection, which provide financial benefits in the event of your death. Instead it provides essential financial support for medical bills, hospital travel, childcare costs and more. It means you can concentrate on getting better.

The specified illnesses covered depends on the policy which you take out. These can include illnesses such as heart attack, cancer or stroke. For the full list of illnesses covered, please contact us on (01) 408 6288.
