Benefits of our Serious Illness Cover

Life and Serious Illness cover

We cover more conditions

With our Serious Illness Cover, the Comprehensive Plan covers 154 conditions, whilst our Primary Plan covers 93. Traditional critical illness policies limit the number of listed illnesses and conditions to around 27, whereas we include a range of common conditions that are unique to our policy.

We could pay out more often

Our Serious Illness Cover pays out based on the severity of your illness. This means you could receive a payment earlier on in your illness, even if it's not life threatening.

You can also make multiple claims, and receive more than one pay out, if your condition gets worse of you suffer a different illness.

Top up your cover after a claim

You can add the Minimum Protection Account feature which tops up your Life or Serious Illness Cover immediately after a Serious Illness Cover claim is paid. And unlike competitors' buy-back options, there is no change to your premium when your cover is topped up, plus no further underwriting is required.

Add extra options to your plan

For added peace of mind and financial security you can choose to include additional options to your policy including Disability Cover and Unemployment Cover (provided by St Andrews) and Optional Serious Illness Cover for Children (in addition to what is provided with our PruProtect Plan Serious Illness Cover). You can add or remove these benefits from your plan at any time to suit your lifestyle.

We reward you for looking after yourself

You get automatic membership to our Vitality programme with Lite Rewards which encourages you to lead a healthier lifestyle by giving you discounts with our Vitality reward partners. Plus you could get a discount on your premium* depending on how much you engage with Vitality.

* If you have the PruProtect Essential Plan you will not receive discounts to your premium at your policy anniversary.

We offer competitive prices

The reason we can offer such comprehensive cover, plus discounts and rewards at a competitive price, is because we help our customers to get healthier, and therefore claim less. It's a win-win situation!
