Why Employees Need Critical Illness Insurance

Critical Illness insurance helps relieve financial strain for employees in the event of a covered serious illness. Claims payments are made in lump sums for eligible conditions. The funds can help cover deductibles, copays and other expenses not covered by most medical plans.
 
Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases cost $214 billion a year in the U.S. health care system.1 And, nearly one in three U.S. families choose not to seek medical care due to cost.2 Critical Illness insurance can help alleviate these costs, making it more likely that your employees will seek care without delay if they have a serious illness. With early detection and quick treatment, the chances of survival are greatly improved.3
