Critical Illness Insurance

Critical Illness Insurance  

Overview

Approximately every 39 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a heart attack.1 And someone is diagnosed with cancer every 3 minutes.2 If you are being treated for such critical illness, shouldn’t your primary focus be on getting well—not worrying about how to pay for your care?

 

Critical Illness Insurance can help you by paying a lump sum benefit to help cover your daily living expenses such as grocery bills, mortgage payments, transportation costs or pay for your out-of-pocket medical costs, including deductibles, copays, and cost-shares.

 

  • You can choose among a lump sum cash benefit of $10,000 or $20,000.
  • Your benefit is paid directly to you in addition to your medical insurance. Additional benefits include: A $50 annual wellness benefit for completing a covered health service or test.
  • You pay an affordable employee group rate and your premium is conveniently deducted from your paycheck.
  • You’re guaranteed acceptance provided you enroll during the Enrollment Period.
  • Portable - you can keep your insurance if you leave your employer with the portability option.

 

You, your spouse, and eligible children qualify for this coverage.
   

Thanks to your employer’s group rates, you could pay less for this insurance than you would for individual insurance you’d find on your own.
