VitalityLife Serious Illness Cover at a glance

Vitality cover more illnesses than a typical critical illness policy, conditions when they’re less severe – so you can get the help you need – when you need it, all heart attacks and all strokes (if a doctor tells you you’ve had a heart attack or a stroke, they pay out), and some early stage cancers not covered by other insurers. Together, these things mean you are up to twice as likely to get a payout than you are from a typical critical illness policy

Claim more than once – claim more than once and with Comprehensive Serious Illness Cover they pay out sooner for some neurological conditions, even if you don’t have permanent symptoms

A choice of cover – choose between Primary Serious Illness Cover – which covers 102 conditions – and Comprehensive Serious Illness Cover – which covers 166 conditions
