Critical Illness Insurance helps ease the financial burdens caused by a serious illness. A Critical Illness Insurance Policy provides a lump sum cash payment to you upon diagnosis of a life threatening illness, such as heart attack, cancer, or stroke. Many policies make that payment 30 days after the diagnosis of certain specified life-threatening diseases such as cancer, stroke and heart attack.
With the lump sum payment from your policy, you can use the payment received from your policy in any way that you need to - for costs of care and treatment, home health care, debt payments, or replace income due to inability to work.
Critical illness coverage typically includes (depending on the type of policy you purchase):
Cancer
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Heart Attack
Kidney Failure
Major Organ Transplant

Other conditions* may be covered depending on the insurance company:
