Accidents and critical illnesses can happen anytime, to anyone, when you least expect them — and they can be costly. Even quality medical plans can leave you with extra expenses to pay.

Having the financial support you may need when the time comes means less worry for you and your family.

* Coverage is guaranteed provided (1) the employee is actively at work and (2) dependents to be covered are not subject to medical restrictions as set forth on the enrollment form and in the Certificate. Some states require the insured to have medical coverage. Additional restrictions may apply to dependents serving in the armed forces or living overseas.

The policies are not intended to be a substitute for medical coverage providing benefits for medical treatment, including hospital, surgical, and medical expenses, and do not provide reimbursement for such expenses. Certain states may require the insured to have medical coverage to enroll in these policies. Like most group accident and health insurance policies, MetLife's AX, HI and CII policies contain certain exclusions, limitations and terms for keeping them in force. Product features and availability may vary by state. The policies may be subject to a Benefit Reduction Due to Age provision. For HI and AX, prior hospital confinement may be required to receive certain benefits, and there may be a pre-existing condition exclusion for hospital sickness benefits, if applicable.
