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.
