Critical illness cover

• An indemnity is paid for eight different illnesses or medical treatments: cancer, MS disease, heart failure, acute angioplasty, coronary artery bypass, stroke, renal insufficiency and major organ transplant. 
• We will pay the tax-exempt indemnity to you soon after the required diagnosis or treatment measure has been made. Up to 90% of claims will be paid out within 5 days of us receiving the completed claim form and the required appendices.
• You can use the insurance indemnity in any way you like – on anything you find important during your convalescence. 
• You can choose whatever amount of indemnity that best suits your needs. If you buy the insurance online, you can choose an indemnity between 10 000 and 300 000 euros. It is possible to change the indemnity, for example, if your circumstances change.

• Every fifth Finn will fall critically ill while still actively working, and every third Finn will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.
• A long sick leave may cut your earnings by as much as half, so you may struggle to cope with your loan repayments and other daily expenses. Your earnings will take an even bigger hit if you have to stop working altogether as a result of your illness.
• 9 weekdays – this is the period your employer is liable to pay salary to you during a sick leave in addition to the day on which you fell ill. After this, your income will be based on Kela’s sickness allowance unless otherwise stated in your collective agreement. 
• It’s not only middle-aged and older people who are affected by critical illnesses. If you are young and healthy and just starting out your career or don’t have a regular income yet, an insurance policy can help protect you financially if you fall critically ill.  

The price of the insurance policy is determined individually and it depends on your age and the indemnity you have chosen. The use of tobacco products affects the insurance premium.
