A critical illness is something that has a devastating effect on the physical health and financial well-being of an individual. While it is impossible to predict the onset of a critical illness, it is possible to financially safeguard oneself against this risk.

This cover ensures that policyholders get help for medical expenses associated with 13 different types of critical illnesses. The illnesses covered under this policy are as follows:
The maximum entry age for this policy is 65 years. Anyone between the age of 18 and 65 years can avail this policy cover by paying the appropriate premium amount for the chosen sum insured. For people above 45 years of age, a compulsory pre-insurance medical examination is required before enrolling for the policy.
This is a policy that can be availed only once by the policyholder. Upon payment of the compensation, the policy terminates automatically and it cannot be renewed by the policyholder. Some of the key features of this policy are as follows:
The minimum sum insured for this policy is Rs.2 lakh. A proposer can avail maximum sum insured of 60 months’ worth of his/her gross income.

The SBI General Critical Illness Insurance Policy has a few exclusions for which the insurer is not liable to provide any compensation. Moreover, there is a waiting period of 90 days from the date of issuance of the policy. Some of the key exclusions are as follows:
The claim process begins upon first diagnosis of a critical illness in the insured person. Upon diagnosis, the insured must notify the insurer in writing within 60 days from the date of evaluation.

For the validation of the claim, the insurer requires a range of documents from the insured. It must be noted that lack of proper documents related to a critical illness may lead to repudiation of a claim. Hence, the insured must ensure that all documents are properly collected before filing the claim. Some of the important documents required for the claim process include:
Following the receipt of the above-mentioned documents, the insurer may validate the claim by assessing the details provided and may even conduct an examination. Once the claim process is validated by the insurer, the compensation amount will be paid to the insured or nominee.
