An insurance policy that helps people to pay for the treatment and other expenses caused by any sudden serious physical or mental injury that can keep them out of work for long time is called trauma insurance. The amount is paid out by the insurance company and it is defined in the product disclosure statement (PDS). But, before the amount payment, the insurance company will examine the case. If the case gets qualified, the medical reports and other papers have to be submitted for proving the conditions that meet the medical trauma. And, after around 14 to 15 days the payment will be made, but that too varies from company to company. Different companies cover different types of medical conditions under trauma insurance. And, paying extra amount for insurance can add extra conditions in the policy. The medical conditions covered include Alzheimer's, angioplasty, tumor of the brain, blindness, cancer, cardiac arrest, coma, deafness, dementia, kidney failure, liver disease, loss of limbs, loss of speech, organ transplant, Parkinson's disease, muscular dystrophy, head trauma, HIV and hypertension.
