Critical illness insurance
Who is critical illness insurance for?
Critical illness insurance is a good, supplemental option for people who already have health insurance, because it gives you additional money to pay for expenses like deductibles. We offer policies you can buy from us directly and policies available through many employers.
What does critical illness insurance cover?
Critical illnesses include stroke, heart attacks, Parkinson’s, cancer, and more. Our policies can cover over 30 major illnesses. If you happen to get diagnosed with one of these illnesses, our plans can pay you a lump sum of up to $50,000.1
Why should I consider critical illness insurance?
It’s an affordable way to supplement and pay for the additional expenses your health insurance doesn’t cover. Plus, some of our policies pay out additional cash if you find yourself in the hospital for less serious illnesses or injuries.
We want to help you focus on recovery, not your finances
Thirty-four percent of Americans with medical insurance find it difficult to afford their deductible. 2 A critical illness plan helps secure your savings from unexpected illnesses because it pays out money you can use for the expenses your primary health insurance won’t cover.
What are the benefits of our critical illness insurance?
Critical illness insurance pays you directly in cash without any deductible or extra waiting time after your claim is verified.
The money you receive from your critical illness insurance can be used however you want, covering anything from medical costs to non-medical costs like your monthly rent.
Our plans have you covered for the long term, paying you a lump sum of $1,000 to $50,000 when you’re first diagnosed with a critical illness. If you ever receive a second diagnosis, we’ll still be there for you, offering a lump-sum payout of $500 to $25,000.1
With the right plan, you may have access to additional wellness benefits for preventative services. We also offer a hospitalization admission benefit of up to $5001 a day should you end up in the hospital for a non-critical illness or injury.
