What Is Critical Illness Insurance?
Critical illness insurance is a lump-sum benefit policy that pays you cash if you’re diagnosed with a covered condition—like a heart attack, stroke, cancer, or other major illness. This benefit is paid directly to you, giving you the freedom to use it however you need.
While health insurance may cover treatment, critical illness insurance helps you stay financially afloat during recovery, covering both medical and non-medical costs.
Why It Matters
A major illness can disrupt more than your health—it can impact your income, savings, and quality of life. Critical illness insurance can help you:
-
Cover deductibles, copays, and out-of-network treatments
-
Pay for transportation, lodging, or in-home care
-
Replace lost wages if you can’t work
-
Focus on recovery without financial stress
It’s not about fear—it’s about being prepared with options and peace of mind.
What’s Covered?
Policies typically pay out for:
-
Heart attack
-
Stroke
-
Cancer
-
Organ transplant
-
End-stage kidney failure
-
Other serious conditions, depending on the plan
You receive a one-time, tax-free cash payment upon diagnosis of a covered condition, and you decide how it’s spent.

FAQs
How is critical illness insurance different from health insurance?
Health insurance pays your medical providers. Critical illness insurance pays you directly, so you can use the money for any expenses—medical or personal.
Is this the same as cancer insurance?
Cancer insurance is a type of critical illness coverage focused only on cancer. Critical illness insurance covers a broader range of serious health conditions.
Can I get this coverage if I’m over 60?
Yes. Many policies are available for individuals well into their 60s or 70s, often with simplified underwriting.
