When illness strikes, you can strike back. If you have a serious health condition, critical illness coverage can help lighten the load.
Even with medical insurance, a serious health condition could cost you. Critical illness insurance can provide you with extra cash when you need it most—if you or a family member covered under this plan is treated for a major medical event (such as a heart attack or stroke) or diagnosed with a critical illness (such as cancer or end-stage renal disease).
The benefit pays you a single lump-sum payment based on the coverage level you choose, even if you have a pre-existing condition.
Critical illness insurance is administered by Aflac. For a list of covered conditions and complete details, go to https://aflacgroupinsurance.com or call 1.800.433.3036.
