Even with health insurance, out-of-pocket medical and non-medical expenses such as deductibles or co-pays can really cause financial strain. With Critical Illness, there is no limitation in how you use your benefit payments. The money can be used for anything from home care and treatment, recuperation aid, mortgage payments or rent, child care, over-the-counter medications, groceries, college tuition, or travel to a treatment center.

Benefits are payable directly to you, as per the terms of the policy.

A reoccurrence benefit is a part of our standard offering and allows an insured to receive additional benefits for the second diagnosis of a previously covered condition, up to a maximum benefit amount.

The amount payable for a Reoccurrence of a Critical Illness or Procedure is 50% of the amount paid to the person for the First Occurrence of the Critical Illness or Procedure. All benefits are subject to the Lifetime Maximum Benefit below.

  • The date of the diagnosis of the additional occurrence or reoccurrence is more than 180 days after the date of such prior benefit payment.

Lifetime Maximum Benefit: No more than the Lifetime Maximum Benefit will be paid for all of a Covered Person’s Critical Illnesses or Procedures. The Lifetime Maximum Benefit for a Covered Person is 200% of the person’s Amount of Insurance.
