How Critical Illness Cash Plan works

If you or a member of your family is diagnosed with a covered critical illness, this critical illness insurance plan will provide you or your designee with a cash payment to use however you want. For instance, use it to help with:

  • Unexpected loss of income
  • Out-of-pocket medical costs and travel for medical care
  • Home healthcare and rehabilitation expenses

How are Critical Illness Cash Plan benefits paid?

This critical illness policy pays benefits directly to you or your designee. When you apply, you can note whether your designee is your spouse or someone else. You can change your beneficiary designation anytime.

How does the optional Return of Premium (ROP) work?

If you continue to pay your premiums (with no lapse in coverage) and don't file a claim, after 20 years you'll receive a full refund of all premiums paid. For instance, if you purchase the policy at age 30 and don't file any claims, when you turn 50 you'll receive a refund of all premiums paid for your critical illness policy. Then, the benefit repeats for the next 20 years or until age 70.

  • Individual – One adult
  • Couple – Individual and spouse/domestic partner (if acknowledged in your location)

If you choose to cover children, the coverage amount for each child is 20% of the primary adult applicant's coverage amount.

What payment arrangements are available?
