Voluntary Critical Illness

Severe illnesses often have out-of-pocket expenses that medical insurance doesn’t cover. This coverage pays you a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a covered condition. It can help you worry less about expenses so you can focus on your recovery. You can get coverage for yourself and your family members.

How It Works

If you’re diagnosed with an illness that is covered by this insurance, you can receive a lump sum benefit payment. You can use the money however you want.

Why This Coverage is So Valuable

• The money can help you pay out-of-pocket medical expenses, like deductibles.
• You can use this coverage more than once. Even after you receive a payout for one illness, you’re still covered for the remaining conditions and for the
  reoccurrence of any critical illness with the exception of skin cancer. The reoccurrence benefit can pay 100% of your coverage amount. Diagnoses must be at least 180 days apart or the conditions can’t be related to each other.
