Critical Illness Insurance
Once considered a “supplemental” insurance product, critical illness insurance has become an essential piece of an employer’s overall employee benefit offering. At no direct cost to you, critical illness insurance can provide a safety net and real financial protection for your employees and their families.
Critical Illness Insurance does not cover the diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19.
Consider this:
1.7 million
Americans are diagnosed with cancer annually.1
69.3%
Americans have a 69.3 percent chance of surviving a cancer diagnosis for at least five years2
1 in 3

66%

Essential protection for your workforce
Both critical illness survival rates and the costs of medical care are rising. Critical illness insurance pays an employee when diagnosed with a covered illness or procedure, helping offset the cost of care and providing the freedom to choose treatment options.
Advantages
- Benefit paid directly to the employee
- Guaranteed issue – no medical exams or tests to take
- HSA friendly
