Bright Grey has extended the definitions of three conditions on its critical illness (CI) policies and added a further two.

Traumatic injury has been added for aorta graft surgery, the need for the use of a life support system over a continuous period of 96 hours has been removed for coma, and burns to the face has been added for third degree burns.

In addition, the insurer has added primary pulmonary hypertension, a form of high blood pressure in the heart's vein and arteries, and systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic autoimmune disorder that can be fatal, to its list of definitions.

Bright Grey pointed out the number of illnesses covered now totals 35, including four ABI+ definitions.
