Critical Illness Insurance

Cash benefits for the costs health insurance never covers

Deductibles, travel, meals, home help, time away from work. Critical illness coverage hands you money to spend on whatever recovery actually requires.

What critical illness insurance does

Critical illness insurance pays a benefit when you're diagnosed with one of the serious conditions listed in the policy. Depending on the plan, that list can include heart attack, stroke, cancer, major organ failure, kidney failure, coronary bypass surgery, paralysis and more.

Unlike health insurance, this coverage isn't tied to medical bills. The benefit is paid in cash and you decide where it goes — the mortgage, groceries, a caregiver, a rental car for treatment trips, or replacing income while you recover.

Because plans differ significantly in which conditions they cover, how much they pay for each, and whether they pay again for a second event, reading the details matters. That's exactly the part we do with you, line by line, before you sign anything.

Who it's for

  • You have coverage but a high deductible or out-of-pocket maximum
  • You'd need help with everyday bills if you couldn't work for several months
  • You're caring for a spouse and can't afford to lose your own income
  • You want protection that pays cash rather than reimbursing receipts
  • You'd rather not tap retirement savings for a medical event
