Life Insurance Terminal Illness Coverage Explained

A Terminal Illness Benefit generally applies when the insured is diagnosed with a medical condition that is expected to result in death within a specified time period, as defined by the policy.

Coverage depends more on the severity and prognosis of the illness rather than a fixed list of diseases.

✔ End-stage organ failure
✔ Advanced neurological disorders
