Product Feat 2 Title
Critical Illness Cover product features
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.
