Critical Illness Insurance

Critical illness insurance provides a lump sum payment to help provide you and your family financial support in a difficult time.

Lump sum payment to use as you see fit for yourself and your family

Managing the emotional cost of illnesses like cancer, a heart attack or a stroke* is hard enough. Managing the financial cost as well can be overwhelming. Critical illness insurance provides a lump sum payment to ensure you and your family have financial support in a difficult time. So, you can spend less time worrying about money and more time focusing on healing.

  • You’ll receive a lump sum payment upon verified diagnosis to use as you see fit
  • Use it for prescriptions, deductibles, co-payments, experiential/non-traditional treatments and even non-medical expenses like everyday bills
  • Pays out regardless of what your medical insurance covers
  • Payments are paid directly to you, not to the doctors, to the hospitals or to the healthcare providers
