Anyone at any time can be diagnosed with cancer, heart attack, or stroke. Even those who lead a healthy lifestyle run the risk of being diagnosed with one or more of these illnesses. No one likes to think about the possibilities. But the risks are very real.
Catastrophic Illness Plans
The Real Risks
Good news …
The survival rates for all three illnesses are increasing. Treatment comes at a cost – and those costs are increasing as well.
What these plans accomplish …
A lump sum benefit is paid directly to you or someone you designate, regardless of any other health insurance coverage. You can choose a cancer plan or a heart attack/stroke plan, or one of each, with different benefit amounts.
Being prepared …
You may have more freedom in treating your illness without worrying about expenses. Protect yourself by applying for insurance coverage, getting regular screenings, looking for signs that lead to early detection, and recognizing the symptoms.
