Fracture cover pays a fixed cash amount depending on which bone you break. More serious fractures — such as a femur or pelvis — pay out more than minor ones. The money is yours to use however you need it: covering time off work, paying for help around the house, or managing day-to-day costs while you recover.
It's not designed to replace income protection, but it works well alongside it — or as a standalone policy for those who want simple, no-fuss cover.
Cover typically applies to accidents both at home and abroad, and most policies don't require a medical.
The policy specifies a fixed payout for each bone. A fractured femur (thigh bone) might pay £3,000; a fractured finger might pay £300. You claim once the fracture is confirmed by a medical professional, and the payment is made directly to you.
No — fracture cover is a targeted, low-cost policy that pays a lump sum for a specific event. Income protection provides longer-term monthly income if you can't work. They complement each other well.
Most fracture cover policies don't require a full medical underwriting process, making them quick to arrange. We'll confirm the specific requirements of the policy we recommend.
