You can buy critical illness cover direct from providers, on the internet and from financial advisers.
Not all firms will give you advice about whether or not critical illness insurance is suitable for you. As you would expect, you can obtain advice from us..
When you're taking out a policy the company selling it should tell you whether or not they will be offering advice and recommending a policy, or giving you information only.
If you're considering a policy from a company which only gives information, you will need to consider the information they give you and make your own decision as to whether the product is right for your needs.
Remember to check the critical illness lists, check the type and level of cover you would receive in the event you need to claim.
To research your critical illness position further you can use our exclusive interactive research tool, the critical illness finance navigator.
