Friends Provident now has a total of 7 ABI+ conditions including aorta graft surgery and third degree burns.

The 5 new additional ABI+ conditions are:

- Heart attack

- Benign brain tumour

- Coronary artery by-pass grafts

- Heart valve replacement or repair

- Coma.

These enhancements have also been extended to its children's critical illness product at no extra cost.

In addition to these enhancements, Friends Provident will pay out 20% of the client's sum assured or £15,000, whichever is less, in the event of a total mastectomy to treat a carcinoma in situ of the breast. This additional cover will not reduce the original sum assured should the client need to make a further claim.

Ed Stuart-Brown, head of protection said:

"As a key provider of critical illness cover for the last 20 years I am delighted that we are continuing to develop and enhance our product. With the addition of mastectomy cover and 5 new conditions at ABI+ level it really highlights how we are striving to go above and beyond the industry standard to provide a comprehensive critical illness product for our customers."
