Depending on the severity level of the covered critical illness, the HSBC Key FIVE Critical Illness Cover plan pays out a lump sum that you can use in any way you like to support you or your family during these difficult times.

You can use the pay-out to clear existing debts such as your mortgage, or to help with your living expenses while you recover.

You can also use the sum assured to cover any other medical or treatment-related expenses that may not be covered by your health insurance or contribute towards rehabilitation costs.

The plan also offers you the possibility to choose to cover your loved ones* who will benefit from the lump sum pay-out in case of you or the person you chose to cover falls critically ill.

*The Policyowner must have an insurable interest in the Life Assured.
