CRITICAL ILLNESS INSURANCE

Author: Kevin Slater |

Having a plan  in case the unexpected occurs is very important. If you experience a critical illness, a one-time tax free lump sum cash payment is payable to you after living for 30 days from date of diagnoses and can help you:   

  • Cover medical expenses not covered by government or workplace plans 
  • Afford alternative treatments 
  • Pay bills & lifestyle expenses 
  • Concentrate on recovery instead of worrying about finances 
  • Avoid dipping into retirement savings, setting your retirement plans back 
  • Allow spouse to take time off to help you through the illness 
  • Bucket list items when faced with a shortened life-span
