Dread Disease

Dread Disease Cover

Cover for in and out of hospital expenses related to a critical illness.
 
 
Major conditions need major cover. Dread diseases, like heart attacks and cancer are serious, require serious treatment and have serious costs. The Hospitalisation benefit alone will not be enough to cover treatment which is why we introduced this benefit to provide additional cover for critical illnesses.

Dread Disease Benefit Includes

SCIDEP
Pays out according to SCIDEP staging
Hospital Bed
8 specified conditions on our critical illness list
List
3 levels of cover to choose from
Waiting Period
12 month waiting period

The stated amounts are available once per policy for any dread disease occurrence and can’t be reinstated. The benefit does not cover claims in addition to any other hospital benefits. Pre-authorisation is required.

Our dread disease list includes

  • Heart Attack
  • Chronic Coronary Heart Disease

  • Cancer
  • Kidney Failure
  • Major organ transplant:
    • Kidney
    • Heart

The SCIDEP staging applies only to certain illnesses.

  • (most severe): 100% of the available benefit
  • 75% of the available benefit
  • 50% of the available benefit
  • (least severe): 25% of the available benefit

With regards to Dread Disease:
Upon payment of 100% of the Compensation for any one claim under Dread Disease in respect of any Insured Person, all cover provided shall be terminated and cannot be reinstated in respect of the Dread Disease Benefit that has been paid for that Insured Person. Compensation under Dread Disease shall not be in addition to any other benefit covered under this policy.
