Le produit en détail

Group critical illness pays on diagnosis, not on incapacity. That single distinction is what it is for. An employee diagnosed with cancer may still be working, may intend to keep working, and may need money immediately — for travel to treatment, for a partner to reduce their hours, for adaptations at home. Income protection pays when they stop working. This pays when they are told.

Cover comes on a core list of twelve conditions or an extended list of more than forty. The core list covers the conditions that account for the overwhelmajority of claims; the extended list adds a long tail of rarer diagnoses. The honest way to present the choice is that the extended list changes the claims experience of a small number of members considerably and the scheme’s total claims experience only a little.

Children’s cover is included as standard rather than offered as an option, because a diagnosis in a member’s child is one of the situations in which an employer’s benefit package matters most. Cover also continues during maternity and paternity leave, which sounds administrative and is the sort of gap that otherwise produces a declined claim at the worst possible time.

A second medical opinion service is available to members and their families. It is used far more often than the benefit is claimed, and it is frequently the most valuable part of the policy to the person using it.

Comment cela fonctionne

Ce qui se passe, dans l'ordre

De la première demande jusqu'à la mise en place de la garantie, du contrat ou de la ligne.

  1. The condition list and the benefit are chosen

    Core list of twelve, or extended list of more than forty. Benefit typically one to three times salary.

  2. The scheme is rated on its own data

    Age and gender profile, occupations and membership size, with a two-year rate guarantee.

  3. Members are covered, children included

    Children’s cover is standard, and cover continues through maternity and paternity leave.

  4. A claim is made on diagnosis

    Against the condition definitions in the policy, which are what a claim is actually assessed on. They are published, and they repay reading before a scheme is placed.

  5. The lump sum is paid, and the support services remain

    Including the second medical opinion service for the member and their family.

Illustrative and not a quotation. What a claim pays depends on the condition definitions in the policy rather than on the diagnosis alone, which is why the definitions document is part of the quotation pack rather than an appendix to it.

Illustrative. A third more premium buys a long tail of rarer conditions — which will matter enormously to a very small number of members and not at all to the rest. That is the trade an employer is actually being asked to make.

Adéquation

Où Maladies graves collectif trouve sa place

Les cas auxquels il répond, ceux auxquels il ne répond pas, et ce qu'un souscripteur demande avant de tarifer.

C'est la bonne réponse lorsque

  • Employers adding a diagnosis benefit alongside life or income protection cover.
  • Workforces who would value a second medical opinion service.
  • Employers who want children’s cover included without arranging it separately.

Il faut regarder ailleurs lorsque

  • Replacing income during absence — that is Group Income Protection, and the two pay at different moments.
  • Cover for death only, which Group Life Insurance does more cheaply.

Ce qu'il nous faut pour tarifer

  1. 1.The scheme data template and the benefit basis.
  2. 2.The condition list required — core or extended.
  3. 3.Claims history, if the scheme is transferring from another insurer.

Questions

Ce que les courtiers nous demandent sur ce produit

Does a diagnosis always mean a claim?

No. Claims are assessed against the policy’s condition definitions, which specify severity and staging. That is why the definitions document should be read when the scheme is placed rather than when a claim is made.

What does children’s cover pay?

A benefit on the diagnosis of a listed condition in a member’s child, on the terms set out in the policy. It is included as standard on both condition lists.

Can a member claim on both this and income protection?

They are separate policies answering separate events — a diagnosis and an incapacity. Where both apply, both are assessed on their own terms.
