Five star combined life and critical illness cover.

Important things you should know

  • If you stop paying the premiums for critical illness cover you may not be covered when you need it most. 
  • If you cancel the policy or don't suffer a critical illness, you won't get  back any premiums you've paid. 
  • If you choose level cover, your cover is fixed when your policy starts, and doesn't change. This means it won't keep up with inflation, and will buy less in the future.
  • We only pay for the illnesses covered in our policy, and no others. 
  • We'll pay your claim as long as you live for at least 14 days after being diagnosed.
