PFA Critical Illness typically covers the following diagnoses:

  1. Severe blood clot in the heart (acute myocardial infarction (AMI))
  2. Cardiovascular surgery due to severe coronary sclerosis (bypass/PCI)
  3. Chronic cardiac insufficiency with severe symptoms at rest and reduced functional capacity
  4. Life-threatening cardiac valve irregularities with the implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
  5. Heart valve surgery due to heart valve defect
  6. Cerebral haemorrhage or blood clot in the brain (apoplexy) with permanent sequelae
  7. Sac-like protrusion of an artery of the brain (aneurysm) or intracranial vascular malformation (AV malformation) including cavernous angioma that requires surgery
  8. Severe illness in the main artery (aorta) with occlusion, rupture or substantial local aorta aneurysm with indication for surgery
  9. a. Cancer with the exception of less aggressive types
    b. Cancer in the blood and blood-forming organs with the exception of less aggressive types
  10. Certain benign tumours in the brain or spinal cord where surgery is necessary which leaves residual tumour or severe permanent sequelae
  11. Disseminated sclerosis (DS)
  12. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or motor neuron disease (MND) with lasting and progressive symptoms
  13. Chronic renal failure
  14. Major organ transplant
  15. AIDS
  16. HIV infection due to blood transfusion or occupational infection
  17. Muscular atrophy (myopathy and neuropathy) with lasting progressive symptoms
  18. Myasthenia gravis with lasting symptoms
  19. Practical blindness
  20. Total deafness
  21. Primary Parkinson’s disease
  22. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD and vCJD)
  23. Inflammation of the brain or cerebrospinal meningitis (including Borrelia and TBE) resulting in considerable neurological sequelae
  24. Third-degree burn (ambustio), frostbite or corrosive burns that cover at least 20 % of the body’s surface
