Specified Disease Insurance

Financial relief when it's needed most

A cancer diagnosis, heart attack or other life-altering condition usually means unknown and unexpected costs. Specified disease insurance helps lessen the impact by paying a lump-sum benefit, so insureds can concentrate on their recovery rather than their finances.

Highlights

• Benefit amounts available in $1,000 increments, up to $100,000
• Guaranteed issue coverage available¹
• Health screening benefit available
• Skin cancer benefit available per person, per calendar year

How it works

The first time an insured is diagnosed with a covered condition after the coverage is in effect, they will receive a one-time lump-sum benefit equal to their plan's benefit amount for that condition, and can spend this benefit however they choose.

Covered conditions include:

• Invasive cancer
• Minor cancer²
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Obstructive coronary artery disease
• Major organ failure
• End-stage renal disease
