Critical illness insurance helps to pay the costs associated with life-altering illnesses. If you become sick with an illness covered by your policy and survive the waiting period, you’ll receive a lump-sum cash payment. And, unlike reimbursed health insurance benefits, you decide how to spend the money. The Lump-Sum benefit can pay for anything from medical expenses not covered to a celebratory trip to Disney.

Why Should I have Critical Illness Coverage?
Medical advances have dramatically improved the survival rates of people who suffer critical illnesses such as cancer, stroke and heart disease. Recovery may come with a significant financial cost that impacts both you and the people close to you.
-
About 1 in 12 Canadians is living with heart disease.1
-
Approximately 1 in 2 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.2
-
About 741,800 Canadian adults live with the effects of a stroke (that’s the population size of New Brunswick!).3
