Trauma / Diagnosis Insurance
This cover provides a lump sum upon DIAGNOSIS. It is not dependant
on whether it is a major case, or a minor case, and it is not dependent
upon death. It is paid upon DIAGNOSIS.
Payment is also made regardless of whether you are prevented from
working or not. It is available either as a standalone cover, or
can be packaged in conjunction with
Life Insurance (Death cover),
or Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance.
This type of cover is particularly important because of the statistical
chances of any one of us being affected by one of these major medical
conditions, prior to dying. The associated medical costs, relating
to the treatments and rehabilitation of such a condition, are enormous.
The result of such a diagnosis can be not only life threatening,
but also life changing.
Trauma Insurance sits outside death cover, and in between
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance
and
Income Protection Insurance.
You may
be diagnosed with Cancer for example, and need the relevant treatment,
but you may not be ill enough to be deemed to be unable to work
for very long, and you certainly are not necessarily medically defined
as TPD.
Trauma Insurance pays a lump sum payment which is not dependant upon TPD nor
not unable to work, and of course “you do not have to die
to collect” !!!!
The lump sum payment is the amount decided upon, by yourself, within
your original application for the Trauma Cover. It is the “sum
insured”.
Trauma insurance provides a lump sum payment upon the medical diagnosis
of such conditions as, Cancer, Heart attack, Organ transplant, Stroke,

cover provides a lump sum upon DIAGNOSIS. It is not dependant on
whether it is a major case, or a minor case, and it is not dependent
