Hither are a collection of divergent illnesses included under a critical illness illustration
Bacterial Meningitis can kill someone in a very short period of time and would need to be treated with antibiotics as soon as possible to give someone a possible chance of surviving such a disease. Suffering from such meningitis means they could end up being permanently disabled and could have brain damage. However the sooner someone receives treatment for such an illness the more chance someone has of coming through the illness without permanent damage. The problem though with such an illness is that the symptoms first suffered by a patient may give symptoms of flu, therefore someone may be put off going to see their doctor for example as they believe it will pass over in a few days like a cold or flu would normally do. Some people are at a higher risk than others to catching such a disease not only in the UK but foreign countries. Firstly babies are at a higher risk; however their immunisation drugs which are given to them after they are born will help protect babies against such a disease. As they are young there bodies are still generating the things they need to survive, one being their immune system in order to fight off infection etc in the future.
Critical illness insurance will protect your family against bacterial meningitis, you just have to be prepared and think of applying for critical illness insurance at an age before you may bump into any illnesses which would change your life and you need the financial help of an insurance plan to help you through a difficult time. An insurance plan would cover you for much more than bacterial meningitis and therefore the insurance plan would be a consideration if for example a family had suffered or a friend and you saw the after effects of what it can do. In order for the plan to commence you would need to apply by completing an data capture form and once the plan has been accepted by the provider, you will need to keep up with the monthly direct debit you set up at day one.
The market of critical illness insurance is an ever growing place. There is a wide range of insurance products and companies that are available on the market to buy a critical illness insurance policy from. Unfortunately for the customers typically the rules, regulations, terms and conditions will vary from insurance company to company. This can be very confusing for the purchaser because one company offers one thing and another offers something totally different but they both look similar! You need to be clear in your head as to what cover you want as you may end up buying something that you do not need. This is because they all have different underwriting systems and request different things. Although the product that the insurance company are selling may be very similar the requirements may be very different. It has been known that in some cases and insurance company can offer a policy at standard terms when the applicant has applied to someone else’s and has either been rated in premium or needed a long list of evidence to support their application. These could be things such as general practitioner reports, medical examinations, telephone interviews, financial evidence and many more. The reason behind the variation in the terms offered is because again of the underwriting requirements. If you have medical issues, family background of illnesses or even if you are concerned that your job may affect your application, there is no harm in applying to several different insurance companies at once. The quotations are typically sent out to you by post or in an email. This way you can get the best offer available to you and can compare what is on offer to you before you take the plunge and buy a policy. There are limits as to how much insurance you can take out but again these vary from provider to provider and are typically available upon request. When getting information sent through the post or email it is always advisable to request a sample policy or key facts document so that you have all of the facts of what they will cover and wont in the event of a claim being made.
