Hi everyone, I am back with the final episode of season 9 and we have some changes coming up with the podcast. We are saying a very big thank you and farewell to Matt Rann who has brought our underwriting insights for the last 6 seasons. Don’t worry, we will still be continuing with underwriting insights to help you better understand your client’s circumstances and the protection insurance options that they might have.The last episode of season 9 is all about group critical illness cover. We have recently covered group life insurance and group income protection, and whilst they are all quite similar, group critical illness cover has a couple of big differences.The key takeaways:Group critical illness cover is paid for by a company but the premiums are treated as a benefit-in-kind for the people coveredPeople who cannot personally get critical illness cover can be covered by group critical illness cover, but there will be exclusions for pre-existing conditionsA case study of group critical illness coverI will be back in 2025 with season 10 as we enter our 5th year of providing the protection insurance training for you.Remember, if you are listening to this as part of your work, you can claim a CPD certificate on our website, thanks to our sponsors Octo Members.
