Trauma Insurance

Trauma insurance provides a lump sum payment to help you financially while you take time out to recover from a serious illness. It is designed to pay out on diagnosis (or occurrence) of one of a list of specified serious medical conditions and procedures. Each insurance company maintains their own list, but they generally include serious medical conditions such as cancer, heart attack or stroke.

How much is enough?

How much trauma insurance you’ll need depends largely on your personal situation, but many people choose an amount that will help with debt reduction, medical expenses and ongoing household costs.

The right amount of cover means that in the event of serious illness or injury you’ll have funds available to:

• Reduce or eliminate mortgage and other debt
• Make home modifications or pay for rehabilitation
• Pay for medical and treatment costs
• Meet ongoing household expenses
• Fund a lifestyle change.

To discuss the level of trauma insurance that’s right for your situation, make an appointment with a Suncorp Financial Adviser.

What does it cost?

The cost of trauma insurance varies based on a range of factors including your age, gender, and the amount of cover you require. As an example, for the equivalent of $2.15 a day, a 45-year-old female nurse could buy a policy that pays a benefit of around $152,256*.
