Medical Insurance provides for hospitalization expenses in the event of an illness/disease or accidental injury. Such insurance may cover some or all of the expenses of hospitalization, surgery, physician’s fees, drugs/medicines, laboratory tests, x-rays and other diagnostic procedures.
One of the attractive employee benefits options, group life cover reassures your employees that should they die, their families and dependants will be cared for.
An unexpected death can have far-reaching consequences at a time of considerable stress, with families facing funeral and other expenses. In many cases, they are left having to pay off outstanding financial commitments or debts, and often have to contend with a sizeable drop in income.
Key benefits
Provides cover to employees 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Provides financial support to the dependants of the employee
Any lump sum payable to dependants is not subject to Inheritance Tax
All causes of death are covered
Group critical illness cover can provide a lump sum payment to allow your employee and their family to solve some of the financial problems that may occur as a result of a critical illness or surgical procedure – including adjustments to the home, paying off the mortgage or the cost of medical expenses.
The lump sum is tax-free and is payable providing the employee survives for a defined period following the critical illness event.
Key benefits
- Can provide cover for the most commonly suffered critical illnesses only (including cancer, heart attack and stroke) and can also be extended to other conditions
- Once a claim is made the employee will still be covered for all other named conditions but not for that specific (or related) condition
- Employees can use the lump sum provided to help towards any expense they choose, such as treatment costs, nursing care, financial commitments or changes required to home or lifestyle as a result of serious illness
- Added value benefits such as a second medical opinion service to help ensure that the diagnosis of the suggested treatments is correct
- Automatically covers children of the employee (naturally or legally adopted) aged between 6 months and 18 years, at no extra cost
