Specified Illness

Taking financial care of you and your loved ones

Specified Illness cover provides your client with a lump sum cash payment upon diagnosis of an illness listed in the conditions we cover. This can help ease the financial burden that illness can bring.  All of our Specified Illness policies come with Aviva Care at no extra cost. 

This gives your clients and their families access to a Digital GP from the comfort of their home. Additionally, Aviva Care offers Best Doctors Second Medical Opinion, Family Care Mental Health Support, and Bereavement Counselling. This means your clients not only receive financial protection but also benefit from the comprehensive support and added value that Aviva Care provides.

How does it work?

Adding specified illness cover to a life protection plan gives extra financial security as it pays a lump sum if the insured is diagnosed with one of the illnessess listed in the policy conditions. Aviva's Specified Illness cover can be taken on an accelerated basis with life cover/mortgage protection or as a standalone policy.
