Critical Illness Insurance Product Spotlight

Critical Illness Insurance Product Spotlight

Surviving a critical illness may come at a high price. The out-of-pocket costs from a major critical illness, like a heart attack or stroke, can be financially devastating—even with major medical insurance.

That’s where AF™ Limited Benefit Group Critical Illness can help. 

Learn More About Critical Illness Insurance

Critical illness insurance can help your employees financially prepare for expenses that may not be covered by traditional major medical insurance. It’s designed to pay a lump-sum benefit directly to your employees if they’re diagnosed with one of the life-altering illnesses covered in the critical illness group policy.

And since benefits are paid directly, policyholders can pay for a variety of costs related to treatment and recovery, including:

  • House payments
  • Car payments
  • Groceries
  • Lodging
  • Deductibles
  • Copayments
  • Prescription drugs

Help Encourage Financial Protection

If it’s not already part of your current benefits offerings, now may be a good time to consider offering critical illness insurance to your employees. After all, approximately every 40 seconds, an American will suffer a heart attack.1

Offering a benefit like critical illness insurance can help your employees stay financially protected.
