Critical illness insurance is coverage from you... to you. It’s a good fit for self-employed workers and people who want to upgrade their group insurance.

In the event of a critical illness, such as cancer or a stroke, keep your financial peace of mind with money to pay the bills, even if you aren’t working.

 



Why take out critical illness insurance?

To focus on what matters: your health
 

Critical illness insurance can provide you with money to help with any additional illness-related expenses, such as home care, specialized equipment, or to make your mortgage payments.

You don’t have to explain or justify your expenses to the insurer. This money is for you to spend as you see fit.

Our insurance offers a variety of coverage options that can protect you in the event of critical illnesses, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer or tumor, neurological disorders, certain childhood diseases and many types of surgery.

Depending on your needs, you can choose an option that covers a smaller or larger range of illnesses. An advisor1 will help you find the coverage that’s right for you.

Critical illness insurance can also give you the means to stay with your child if he or she becomes ill or needs surgery that’s covered.

With certain options, you may be able to receive a refund of premiums during your lifetime.

If you pass away before this coverage expires, all the premiums paid may be reimbursed to your beneficiary.

With our various coverages, you benefit from the medical insight and advice of medical experts. This allows you to access the best medical information so that the right diagnosis can be made for the right treatment.
