What is optional cover?
Families with children, people who lead active lifestyles, and healthcare workers who may be more vulnerable to certain illnesses are all eligible for additional coverage options through MultiProtect. You have the ability to customise your coverage to your unique circumstances and the things that are most important to you by purchasing coverage for an additional pound per month.
Child Cover provides a variety of benefits to assist you during tough times, including if your child is diagnosed with cancer – excluding less advanced cases – and provides protection for children aged 6 months to 18 years, or up to 23 years if they are in full-time education. Children do not need to reside with the policyholder.
In the event that you experience a bodily injury as a result of an accident that results in a dislocation and/or either a tendon rupture or ligament tear, the Active Lifestyle Cover provides additional coverage for these types of injuries. Multiprotect will assist you in getting back on track so that you can continue participating in the activities that you love.
