FAQs
Can critical illness insurance be used for out-of-pocket costs?
Yes, you can use your benefit payment as you see fit. Use it to help cover your household bills, medical insurance deductibles, copayments.
I have a medical plan at work. Why would I need coverage for critical illnesses?
Critical illnesses can happen when you least expect them — and they can be costly. Even quality medical plans can leave you with extra expenses to pay. Costs like plan deductibles, co-pays for doctor visits, and extra costs for out-of-network care can add up fast. Having the extra financial support you may need when the time comes may mean less worry for you and your family.
Are benefits paid directly to me or to my healthcare provider?
Payments will be paid directly to you, not to the doctors, not to the hospitals, or nor to the other healthcare providers. You will receive a check, payable to you.
Is there a waiting period before my coverage begins?
No. Your critical illness insurance will be effective on the date of your coverage as long as you are actively employed. There are no waiting periods to satisfy.2
Can I enroll in this insurance without having to take a medical exam?
Yes. If your employer offers critical illness insurance, your acceptance is guaranteed, regardless of your health. You just need to be actively employed for your coverage to be effective. There are no medical exams to take and no health questions to answer.
Is the claims process simple?
Yes. Within 3 days of receipt, we’ll send a Claims Acknowledgment Letter. Also, you can choose to receive payments the way you want — electronic funds transfer or check.
