The PPS Critical Illness Cover is a lump-sum benefit that pays out should you or your child suffer from a trauma, physical impairment or critical illness condition (for example cancer or the loss of a limb).
Pays a percentage of the chosen cover amount, depending on the severity of your medical condition.
Covers the 4 most common critical illnesses (Cancer, Stroke, Heart Attack, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) at 100% irrespective of the severity of your medical condition. The payout of other critical illnesses depends on the severity level of your medical condition.
Covers all critical illnesses at 100%, irrespective of the severity level
At PPS we have simplified our definitions and claims criteria, making it easy for members to know exactly what conditions are covered and how they will be assessed. We believe in giving our members choice and flexibility, and have three options that members may select from, depending on the type and level of cover required. The benefit pays out a lump-sum amount depending on the severity of the condition. e.g. stage-4 cancer would qualify for a 100% payout, whereas stage-1 cancer would get a 25% payout. To determine the severity of certain conditions, PPS will use a Functional Ability Table, which measures your ability to perform certain functional tasks.
All options include great key benefits that automatically apply from day one.
