FAQs

Critical illness cover pays a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specified serious medical condition such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, major organ transplant, or multiple sclerosis. The lump sum can be used to cover medical costs not covered by your health insurance, replace lost income during recovery, modify your home, or repay debts. The exact list of covered conditions varies by provider, typically covering 30–50+ conditions.

Yes. Health insurance in the UAE covers medical treatment costs, but it does not replace your income if you are unable to work for months during recovery, nor does it pay for non-medical expenses such as rent, school fees, or debt repayments. Critical illness cover fills this gap by providing a lump sum payment at diagnosis, giving you financial flexibility that health insurance alone cannot provide.

A typical recommendation is cover equivalent to 2–5 years of your annual income, though the right amount depends on your financial commitments, savings, and how long you could sustain your lifestyle without working. Your advisor will analyse your income, expenses, and existing coverage to recommend a sum that provides genuine financial security during a serious illness.

The cost depends on your age, health, lifestyle, and the level of cover required. For a healthy non-smoker in their 30s, premiums for AED 500,000 of critical illness cover can start from a few hundred dirhams per month. Taking out cover while you are young and healthy is significantly cheaper than applying later. Pro Financial Solutions will compare multiple providers to find the most competitive premium for your required level of cover.

Yes, and this is often the most cost-effective approach. Many providers offer combined life and critical illness plans that provide a payout on either death or diagnosis of a critical illness—whichever occurs first. This is known as an accelerated benefit policy. Alternatively, you can take out standalone critical illness cover alongside a separate life policy for maximum coverage. Pro Financial Solutions will model both options to help you decide what works best for your family's needs and budget.
