Summary
The result of developments in medical science on Critical Illness insurance. The payback afforded by reviewable policies.

Premiums for Critical Illness Insurance are increasing due to the rising amounts of claims and concern about medical improvements in the future future. If you are diagnosed with a life threatening illness, Critical Illness Insurance pays you a tax free lump sum, which will support you financially if your illness prevents you from working.

 2 top insurance companies will be elevating the price of insurance shortly. Scottish Provident’s premium will increase by 22 to 26 per cent and that of Swiss Life by 20 per cent. These increases are minuscule when compared with the 54 per cent imposed by Friends Provident and BUPA and the 60 per cent announced by Scottish Equitable and Norwich Union. LV are still deciding what rise they will enforce next month.

The insurance market is in chaos as improvements in medical science help patients to recover from severe illnesses, which would have been terminal only 9 years ago. The effect of this huge alteration in health cover is that life insurance claims are reducing whilst settlements on critical illness insurance policies have observed a sharp increase. Thus the cost of life cover is dropping, whilst that of critical illness insurance is increasing rapidly.

In an effort to reduce the sharp rise in premiums, the AIB has amended the circumstances under which insurance is made available for prostrate cancer and heart problems.

Many patients are now discovering that early recognition of these illnesses results in elongated life expectancy. The illnesses under which Critical Insurance Cover policies settle are being redefined. This occurrence will help to lower the number of claims and consequently slow down the pace at which premiums are increasing. (For example), CIC will only pay out for skin cancer if it is invasive)

Jim Young of broker’s Direct Line says that critical illness insurance policies currently cover conditions, which are easier to diagnose and treat. Claims are consequently being paid out for non-life threatening conditions, which is not the point of the policy
.
An appraisal of the terms of many policies is likely in the foreseeable future. CIC for diabetes is being taken away by Swiss Life, which leaves BUPA as the only insurer that includes this condition.

 Reviewable term insurance are now being given by an escalating amount of insurance companies. Illnesses and premiums covered by these insurances are looked at every 5 years. A normal CIC is a cast iron policy, which keeps going for a specif number of years. The premiums remain the same whilst the insurance is in force, which is usually the term of their home owner loan. On the other hand this type of cover is becoming more expensive.

The Group Director of LV’s independent financial adviser division, Justin Myers says that you have to pay the price for the assurance that a guaranteed policy offers. He says that people are most likely to pick a renewable rather than a guaranteed policy as the build up in pricebroadens. While Aviva increases it’s CIC it is also launching a reviewable policy thus offering customer a choice. Royal London has removed it’s guaranteed CIChave a guaranteed policy. He advises that if you don’t by now have insurance it would be a sensible to take it out soon,| before, any further changes are announced.
