Critical Illness Insurance provides financial protection, helping you to stay focused on getting well.
What is Critical Illness Insurance?
Critical illness insurance can serve as a financial safety net for you and your family in the event that you are diagnosed with a Critical Illness, such as cancer or cardiac disease. Since these medical emergencies typically incur larger than average expenses, Critical Illness Insurance can provide additional financial support to help you focus on your recovery.
With a Critical Illness policy you receive a lump-sum payment that can be used to cover many costs — including medical care, travel expenses or wages of a family member leaving work to help. Like Life Insurance, Critical Illness Insurance can be an important element in your financial plan. By paying you cash benefits when you are diagnosed with a specified covered illness, this can help alleviate some of the stress that you are already facing. Critical illness insurance can provide you and your family with the peace of mind that these expenses will not jeopardize your financial security while you recover.
The list of illnesses that we may face over our lifetime can be extensive, however statistics indicate that over 90% of critical illnesses come down to two. Cancer (Approximately 1 in 2 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime1) and Cardiac related (About 1 in 12 Canadians is living with diagnosed heart disease2). By our mid-forties the likelihood to be diagnosed with either of these sharply increases 3. While these facts may be sombre, it is heartening to know that today’s medical advances are rapidly raising life expectancies. However, what if you were facing a critical illness such as cancer, a heart attack or stroke; would you and your loved ones be financially protected? Dealing with a Critical Illness is difficult enough.
