  • Life-threatening cancer
  • Heart attack
  • Kidney failure
  • Stroke
  • Coma
  • Coronary bypass
  • Loss of sight, speech or hearing
  • Major organ transplant
  • Paralysis
  • Severe burn
What Critical Illness Policies May Not Cover:
  • Self-inflicted injury or sickness
  • Recurrence of cancer (only the first diagnosis may be covered)
  • Illnesses that occur during the policy waiting period
  • Diagnoses related to pre-existing conditions
  • Procedures that are not medically necessary

Pros and Cons of Critical Illness Coverage

​PROS

  • You’re in control – You choose how to use your benefits to spend any way you need while you recover.
  • Keep your doctor – You may be able to use any provider or facility with no network limitations.
  • Apply year-round – There is no official open enrollment period.
  • A plan for every budget – Different levels of coverage may be available at different price points to meet individual needs.
  • Affordable monthly premiums – Because policies are so limited in what they cover, it’s relatively affordable to maintain this supplemental coverage.

CONS

  • Limited coverage + many exclusions – These plans are only meant to cover specific illnesses.
  • Premiums are based on age – The younger you are the lower your monthly premium, and coverage may be terminated when you reach a certain age (e.g., 70)
  • Not ACA-qualifying major medical coverage – Critical illness coverage is a form of supplemental insurance, meant to be paired with a major medical plan.
  • Waiting periods – Most policies won’t pay benefits for a diagnosis relating a health condition until you’ve completed your policy’s waiting period.
