Why Serious Illness Cover?
• Severity based payouts
We pay out between 5% and 100% of the Serious Illness Cover depending on the severity
of an illness
• We payout earlier
We recognise illnesses are being diagnosed and treated sooner, so we payout on diagnosis
for things like early stage cancers, heart attack and stroke
• Cover for more conditions
A severity based approach means we can cover more conditions than any other insurer, so
customers are more likely to get a payout
• Vitality
All our plans come with Vitality to help customers improve their health and reduce the risk of
illness. They can also access more benefits with Vitality Plus or Vitality Optimiser.
• Cover for progressive and multiple claims
Our approach means if we pay out for a less severe illness, customers still have cover if
their condition progresses or if they are later diagnosed with a different condition
14. 14
The Plan Account
A mechanism to pay out based on severity
• The cover purchased is put into a notional pot - the Plan Account.
• Any claims get paid from the Plan Account, and when this is empty no further benefits can
be paid.

Why other providers payouts don't go far enough
The limitations of traditional critical illness policies
• Conditions covered
Traditional critical illness policies cover 40 illnesses. PruProtect cover:
− 102 on our Primary Serious Illness Cover, and
− 166 on our Comprehensive Serious Illness Cover
• Some providers pay a reduced amount for a limited number of conditions
For these conditions they may limit their payout to between £12,500 and £25,000. So they
could pay less than 12.5% or 25% if your client has a larger sum assured.
• Poor link between severity of illness and payout
Many providers do not recognise the difference in treatments and pay the same payout
regardless
− For example, some providers pay the same amount for Mastectomy and Lumpectomy
19. 19
Cancer
We cover more cancers than any other UK insurer
• Trends in cancer:
– 1 in 2 of us are expected to get cancer at some point in
our life
– National screening programmes have meant earlier
diagnosis and either less invasive treatments or no
treatment at all
• Traditional cover:
– ABI definition is Cancer excluding less advanced
cases, meaning that it requires cancer to be advanced
– Other providers only cover early stage cancers in
specific areas of the body, and often require treatment
• Why PruProtect?
– We cover early stage cancers in all parts of the body
– We are the only insurer to payout on diagnosis of low
grade prostate cancer, the most common cancer in
men
– We are the only insurer to cover non-malignant skin
cancers of a specified severity
20. 20
Heart
We cover all heart attacks
• Trends in heart disease:
– Heart disease is the UK’s biggest killer
– Preventative medication has helped to slow the
progression of heart disease
• Traditional cover:
– ABI definition requires heart attacks to be of a
specified severity, typical clinical symptoms and ECG
changes
– Some providers have widened their definitions, but
most still require multiple criteria to be met to qualify
for a payout
• Why PruProtect?
– We cover all diagnosed heart attacks
– It means if troponin levels have reduced by the time of
a positive diagnosis, customers would still qualify for a
payout
21. 21
Stroke
We cover all strokes
• Trends in stroke:
– There are1.1m stroke survivors in the UK
– 1/3rd of strokes lead to only temporary symptoms
• Traditional cover:
– ABI definition of stroke requires permanent
neurological deficit
– Other providers require either permanent neurological
damage or symptoms to have persisted for 24 hours
• Why PruProtect?
– We cover all diagnosed strokes, even if there is no
permanent damage or persisting symptoms
22. 22
Diabetes
We cover type I diabetes for adults, and help customers prevent type II
• Trends in diabetes:
– Over 3m suffer from diabetes in the UK
– Diabetes dramatically increases the risk of other
serious illnesses
– 80% of type II diabetes cases can be prevented
through lifestyle changes
• Traditional cover:
– There is no ABI definition for diabetes
– Only two providers cover type I diabetes, and apply
either age restrictions or the requirement for insulin
dependence
• Why PruProtect?
– We cover diagnosis of type I diabetes in all adults
– We uniquely help people to reduce the risk of type II
diabetes through our Vitality programme

Louise’s claims experience
Although we made two payments to Louise for her illness,
she still has cover available if she needs to claim again
• Louise is still protected, even if she were to be diagnosed
with a new illness
• If the worse should happen and Louise dies prematurely,
her Life Cover offers the peace of mind that her family will
be financially supported

What the experts say
Of all the covers available Serious Illness
Cover makes the most sense, it has the widest
base and severity at its heart.
The mistake I made was to develop the policy
to pay out on the diagnosis. It should be paid
out on severity…

David bought a
Plan covering
£100,000 level
Life and Serious
Illness Cover with
100% MPA.
As he had chosen
100% MPA, his cover
was topped up to
£100,000 with no
underwriting or
premium increases.
Two years later David
suffered a heart attack
and received a 50%
payout under his
Serious Illness Cover.
Four years later David
suffered a stroke. He
received a 100% payout
and used the £100,000
to pay off his mortgage
and concentrate on his
rehabilitation.
With a traditional critical illness plan,
David would have received an initial
£100,000 payout but then his cover
would have ended.
Getting replacement cover would
have been difficult as many providers
would deem him to be uninsurable
after the first heart attack.
