  • Heart attack or stroke

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. No pre-existing conditions are excluded. 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.
