Zurich Trauma Insurance
Trauma cover provides you with a lump sum payment if you suffer from a specified medical condition, so you can focus on your recovery. Conditions that are covered under a Trauma Insurance policy can include cancer, heart attack or stroke.
Zurich’s Trauma Cover can be purchased as a stand-alone product or combined with Zurich’s Life Insurance and Total and Permanent Disability cover options.
There are two Trauma options available through Zurich, the Extended and the Platinum Trauma option. Both options cover 42 conditions for a full payment and 12 additional conditions for a partial benefit payment, the partial payment amount for each cover option differs:
- The Extended Trauma option pays 10% of the full benefit amount for conditions that are covered for partial payments.
- The Platinum Trauma option pays 25% of the full benefit amount for conditions that are covered for partial payments.
Standard benefits
The standard benefits available with both of Zurich’s trauma insurance options, include:
