Accident & Critical Illness
As we know from the national TV commercials, accidents happen every day. They don’t have any age, gender or education limitations.

Studies suggest that 1 in 2 U.S. women and 1 in 3 U.S. men will develop cancer in their lifetime.* Treating cancer comes with many indirect costs.

Some critical illness policies may also be offered in combination with other specific named risks such as heart attack and stroke.
