Research conducted by the Life Insurance Association of Singapore has also shown Singaporean lack 80% Critical Illness protection needs.

Regular CI plans only provide payouts on illnesses diagnosed at late stages. Early-stage CI insurance covers the gap where you get diagnosed with a critical illness beyond the stage defined by a traditional CI plan.

Given the increased prevalence of CI, it is good to have yourself covered. However, these are some factors you should consider.

1) Family history with CI.
