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…

- Have a family history of serious conditions
