## What is Crisis & Trauma Recovery insurance?

**Simple: Recover First, Worry Less**

Being diagnosed with a Critical medical condition impacts both you and your family. Critical Illness insurance can help take away the worry of having to cover your day-to-day expenses and sudden medical costs while you undergo treatment or recover from surgery.

> The major risk to family financial health is medical bills

### A lump sum payment when you need it most

Crisis & Trauma Recovery insurance can pay you a lump sum benefit payment to use as you see fit. Get the very best medical treatment in Australia, buy a place to live (or pay out the mortgage), hire an in-home-carer, pay for extended time off work, travel interstate for advanced care, modify a home or vehicle to support an illness while you recover.

> We've seen clients with serious medical events use their lump sum payout to travel overseas and access advanced medical trials and treatments not yet available in Australia – whatever it takes to help them recover.

### An emotional and financial surprise

Handling the emotions that come up when experiencing an unexpected and severe illness is difficult enough. Worrying about your financial stability on top of this can obviously be overwhelming.

- Surprise medical traumas usually involve unexpected (and therefore unbudgeted) out-of-pocket-cost as well.
- They can create an unexpected cash flow drain in the family budget and drain additional cash flow and focus from a small business owner too.

Managing the [out-of-pocket-cost to care](https://sapience.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=130&Itemid=1043) can even dictate the level of medical care many people are able to afford.

### A Medical Crisis or Trauma can destabilise a family if not financially supported

A sudden medical event doesn’t just impact you physically – there are financial consequences as well.

- You may have to take time out from your job or reduce your working hours in order to recover.
- For serious conditions, your spouse or partner might be required to give up work to take on a caring role.

With Crisis and Trauma Recovery insurance in place, you can feel more financially confident and supported when faced with a surprise health crisis.

### When do you need Crisis Cover?

You should think out Crisis & Trauma Recovery insurance if you:

- have a partner, family or dependants
- have a mortgage or any other personal debt

- don’t have adequate savings to cover unexpected expenses
- have a family history of serious health issues occurring later in life

MCX\_Service\_Avatar\_Title: Crisis & Trauma Recovery##### 🏛️ Service Contract Summary

##### 🏛️ Crisis and Trauma Recovery Insurance

#### 🎯 Strategic Purpose

- **Focused Care:** Designed to provide parents with the financial freedom to take time off work or reduce hours to be by their child’s side during a major medical crisis.
- **Medical Advantage:** Provides immediate capital to fund specialist medical treatments, private nursing, or home modifications not covered by Medicare or Private Health Insurance.

#### ✅ Core Benefits

- **Lump Sum Payout:** A tax-free payment made upon the definitive diagnosis of a covered condition (e.g., Cancer, Meningitis, Major Organ Transplant).
- **Future Cover Guarantee:** Often includes an option to increase the child's cover at key life milestones without further medical checks.
- **Flexible Use:** Funds can be used for any purpose—medical bills, mortgage payments while you are off work, or even specialized education support during recovery.

#### 🛡️ Standard Exclusions

- **90-Day Qualifying Period:** Cover for major conditions usually begins 90 days after the policy start date.
- **Pre-existing Conditions:** Symptoms or conditions that were present or diagnosed before the policy commenced.
- **Intentional Harm:** No benefit is payable if the condition is the result of an intentional act by the child’s parent, guardian, or the child.
- **Congenital Conditions:** Certain conditions present from birth may be excluded depending on the specific policy definitions.

**❓ Common Clarity Point**
**Doesn't my Private Health Insurance cover this?**
No. Private Health Insurance pays the hospital and medical specialists. **Trauma Insurance pays you.** While medical bills are a factor, the real cost of a health crisis is the loss of income, the need for home modifications, or the cost of non-PBS medications. This protection provides a tax-free lump sum to cover those "hidden costs," giving you the financial freedom to focus purely on getting better.
