Comminsure Trauma Cover

If suffered a specific medical event condition or critical illness Comminsure Trauma Cover can help take the financial pressure off an already stressful situation. Trauma Cover helps fill the gaps of a policy, as it can be claimed by those who are not employed, such as stay-at-home parents. You also do not have to be disabled to make a claim.

With a benefit maximum of $2 million, Trauma Cover can be used to cover expenses that aren’t covered by your regular health insurance policy, such as the costs of some treatments, the cost of hiring a carer, rehabilitation bills, and any lost income.

What conditions trigger a payout?

Comminsure Trauma Cover can help with the accompanying medical costs of a specific medical condition, and can help to lessen lifestyle changes that result from any of Comminsure’s 49 specified illnesses or injuries. These include:

• Heart disorders, such as a heart attack and replacement of a heart valve
• Nervous system disorders, such as major head trauma and a stroke
• Body organ disorders, such as cancer, loss of speech and kidney failure
• Blood disorders, including HIV and advanced diabetes
• Loss of limbs or sight

While Trauma Cover only specifies 49 specific medical conditions, if you take out Trauma Cover Plus, you could claim a partial benefit on an additional 13 medical conditions, including:

• Early-stage ovarian cancer
• Early-stage melanoma
• Partial loss of hearing
• Partial blindness

What types of cover can I choose from?

You can purchase this cover on its own, or combined with Life Care or Total and Permanent Disability (TPD).
