The Aetna Critical Illness Plan can help you protect your finances if you are diagnosed with a covered condition. The plan pays cash benefits to you when you are diagnosed with a serious condition like:

 

  • Heart attack or stroke
  • End stage renal failure
  • Cancer and more

 

You can use the money to help cover your deductible or everyday expenses like utility bills, mortgage payments and groceries. It’s up to you. Your plan also includes benefits for some serious childhood diseases and conditions. And other diseases, like coronavirus* are covered.

 

You are guaranteed to be accepted into the plan with no medical questions. Please note: your diagnosis must occur after the coverage effective date to be eligible for benefits.

 

Your plan also includes a health screening benefit for a covered preventive test. See the Critical Illness – Plan Overview document on the right side of your screen for details of coverage, including limitations and exclusions.

 

SAP employees can choose to enroll yourself, yourself and child(ren), yourself and spouse, or your family. Your dependent coverage will be based on 50% of the benefit amount you choose for yourself. There is no additional cost to include your children.
