Critical Illness or Crisis Personal Accident (Crisis PA) Insurance

Critical Illness Insurance pays a lump sum benefit to the Insured if a serious injury or illness occurs while the policy is in effect. The benefit is paid to the Insured when the serious medical condition occurs and may be used as he or she wishes, providing cash for the extra expenses that develop.

This coverage supplements other insurance and is in addition to other reimbursement expense policies. The product is flexible and may be purchased independently or as part of a more extensive package of insurance benefits. Critical Illness Insurance provides benefits for survivors and their families, as opposed to typical life plans that pay benefits at death.

Core Coverage:
Serious medical conditions covered by the policy may include:

  • Heart Attack
  • Heart Diseases - coronary artery disease requiring surgery
  • Stroke
  • Cancer - lump sum payable upon first diagnosis
  • Major organ transplant
  • Kidney failure - requiring dialysis
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Multiple Sclerosis

Customer Profile:
