What Is Critical Illness Insurance?
Critical illness insurance pays a tax-free lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a covered condition. It fills financial gaps after a serious diagnosis—without replacing your health insurance. Unlike medical coverage, it pays you directly, not your provider. Use it to:
- Cover treatments or out-of-network specialists
- Pay your bills while off work
- Handle deductibles or travel expenses
- Keep your family financially afloat

Critical Illness Insurance Makes Sense If You…

How it Works
Choose a benefit amount—typically between $10K and $100K+. If diagnosed with a covered illness (like cancer, heart attack, or stroke), you’ll receive a tax-free lump sum, usually within 30 days.
Critical illness coverage doesn’t replace health insurance—it helps you stay financially stable during a health crisis.
