Choosing the most suitable policy can be difficult for most customers as there are more than 60 insurance providers offering 200 critical illness insurance products. Customers should shop around on the high street and online to get quotes.
Polices vary widely and the illnesses they cover. What a policy offers is generally reflected by its price, for example cheaper plans, although attractive in price, will usually offer limited cover.
It is also important for customers to be aware of policies that appear to cover every serious illness that exists. Such plans are not always suitable as they are sometimes just an excuse for the insurer to charge higher premiums.
