Critical illness coverage

If you are diagnosed with a serious illness, our insurance provides exhaustive coverage for certain critical conditions. 

You will receive a tax-free payout that can help alleviate your challenges during this difficult time. This financial support can be a valuable resource, whether you use it to pay for appropriate treatment at a private hospital or to modify your home to accommodate your condition. Ultimately, how you choose to use the funds is entirely up to you. The payout is made as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed and Nordea Pension has reviewed the case.

Includes terminal illness cover

Critical illness cover includes protection against terminal illness. This means that if a specialist confirms that your illness, which is not on the critical illness list, is lethal and you are likely to die within 12 months, the insurance will pay out the sum assured. It is worth its weight in gold - both for you and your family.

Here is an overview of some of the critical illnesses covered by the insurance (the list is only illustrative and an extract of the insurance terms):

• Most cases of cancer
• Cardiac embolism made up of a blood clot
• Brain aneurysm with permanent consequences
• Disseminated multiple sclerosis
• Muscular dystrophy
• Parkinson's disease
