PruProtect : PruProtect Plan –Life with Serious Illness Cover-Primary

 

Product profile

 

Description

 
Life Cover pays a lump sum cash payment if  you die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness
 
Serious Illness Cover provides a tax free lump sum payment should you be diagnosed with a serious illness or permanent disability
 
Encourages you to actively manage your health by rewarding you with great discounts at Vitality partners and by enabling them you help manage your future premiums.
 
It includes Serious Illness Cover which is more comprehensive than most traditional Critical Illness Covers because it:
 
Covers more illnesses, so you are more likely to get a payout when you have a serious illness.
 
Pays out based on severity, so you may also get a payout at an earlier stage of illness or disability. There are a few illnesses however, where a full payout may occur at a later stage of illness.
 
Provides for the possibility for multiple claims – so you could continue to be covered if your illness progresses or if you are diagnosed with an unrelated illness.
 
Automatically includes Vitality
