Serious Illness Cover
A serious illness can have a devastating impact on your life and your family. Not only can it cause a huge amount of stress, an illness can cause a number of financial challenges, from the cost of medicines and certain treatments to travel and parking. These can mount up quickly and place added pressure if you have a mortgage, car loan repayments and other living expenses to take care of. Serious Illness Cover can help cover your costs if you fall ill and gives you the opportunity to focus on getting well.

What illnesses are covered?
The illnesses that are covered will vary depending on the policy, so it is important to discuss the policy document with your Sheridan Insurances broker. Common illnesses such as back injuries or angina are typically not covered. Those illnesses that are usually covered include:
- some types of cancer
- stroke
- heart attack
- multiple sclerosis
- motor neuron disease
- major organ transplantation
- a benign brain tumour
- severe burns
- blindness
- kidney failure
Serious Illness Cover is available as an add-on to most Life Insurance policies or it can be purchased on a standalone basis.
