Protect Your Employees with Group Critical Illness Insurance

A serious diagnosis can place significant financial and emotional strain on employees and their families. Critical Illness Insurance provides a lump-sum payment following the diagnosis of a covered condition, helping individuals manage expenses, seek treatment, and focus on recovery. At Benefluent Advisory, we help organizations offer this protection as part of a modern benefits strategy that supports long-term well-being.

How Critical Illness Insurance Works

Employees select coverage for themselves and eligible family members. If diagnosed with a covered critical condition, a tax-free lump-sum benefit is paid directly to the insured individual. The funds can be used for any purpose—medical treatments, travel to specialists, household expenses, or time away from work.

Covered conditions may include:

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Cancer (invasive and early-stage, depending on plan design)
  • Major organ failure
  • Kidney failure
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • ALS
  • Additional conditions depending on the selected coverage

Employees also gain access to professional support throughout the process, including guidance on navigating diagnoses, treatment options, and claim assistance.
