Critical Illness

Serious Help for Serious Illnesses

Direct Support, When They Need It

Even with health insurance, employees can face unexpected costs during a serious illness. Group Critical Illness insurance can help.

Critical Illness insurance pays employees directly. While health insurance covers most medical costs, there are many expenses it doesn't cover. Critical Illness insurance can help bridge the gap. They can use the money to pay for whatever they need, from deductibles and utilities to groceries and child care. The choice is theirs.

How Critical Illness Insurance Works

Learn how Critical Illness insurance benefits work for employees.

1. An employee is diagnosed

A diagnosis of a critical illness, like cancer, often leads to a lot of medical and non-medical expenses that might not be covered by health insurance.

2. Your employee gets a check, directly

Approved claims are paid with a check sent directly to your employee, to pay for whatever they need.

3. The patient can focus on getting better

That extra financial support for surprise expenses can help your employee focus on healing, not financial struggles.
