How critical care insurance coverage can work for you
Are you financially prepared for a Critical Illness? Unfortunately, most are not. Too many people discover that after a critical illness diagnosis their primary health insurance is inadequate, resulting in a large financial burden directly on your shoulders.
The main objective of Critical Illness insurance is to reduce financial stress. These policies pay cash benefits upon the diagnoses of a covered condition. This money can be used for anything. Whether it’s to pay for out-of-network medical costs, experimental treatment not covered by conventional health insurance or to pay your mortgage - you decide how to use the money, not the insurance company.
Beyond the most commonly occurring critical illness such as Cancer, Heart Attack and Strokes, today’s typical plans cover a broad range of critical illnesses such as:
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Heart Attack
- Kidney Failure
- Blindness
- Cancer
- Major Organ Transplant
- Stroke
- HIV/AIDs
- Coma
- Paralysis
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Brain Tumor
- Coronary Artery Bypass
While we don’t consider Critical Illness insurance a replacement for your health insurance, it is an important supplemental benefit that can provide much needed financial relief and financial flexibility.
