Accident and sickness insuranceAccident and sickness insurance covers you in the event of injury, serious illness or disability. Policies of this type may include:
- Injury benefits - compensation for injuries sustained in an accident (fractures, bruises, burns, etc.).
- Serious Illness Payments - providing insurance benefits in the event of a diagnosis of a serious illness (e.g. cancer or cardiovascular disease).
- Rehabilitation and recovery cover - reimbursement of the costs of rehabilitation procedures and recovery treatment, including physiotherapy, massage and other necessary activities.

Factors affecting the cost of insurance- Age and gender: The older a person is, the higher the cost of insurance because the risk of illness and injury increases. Women may have higher premiums for certain types of insurance.
- Amount of coverage: The more services and types of medical care a policy covers, the higher the cost. The price is also affected by the coverage limit for each type of service.
- Medical History: Having a chronic condition or a history of serious illness can significantly increase the cost of a policy.
- Occupation and Lifestyle: Working in high-risk environments or playing extreme sports can also affect the price of insurance.
- Geographic location: The cost of insurance may vary depending on the region where you live, as health care prices can vary from one area to another.
- Number of insured persons: A discount may be given when insuring a group of people, such as company employees.
- Level of the selected clinic or medical facility: Priority care in elite clinics or medical centers is usually more expensive.
Thus, the price of a voluntary health and accident and illness insurance policy is formed on the basis of a set of factors that are assessed by the insurer individually for each client.
