A serious diagnosis shouldn’t mean a financial crisis too.

Critical illness insurance pays you a tax-free lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a covered condition – cancer, heart attack, stroke, and more. Use it however you need: bills, treatment, lost income, or just peace of mind.

Not the same as health insurance

Mortgage & rent

Your health plan covers your medical bills. Critical illness insurance covers everything else - the financial gaps that a serious illness creates in your everyday life.

Answers you actually need

A common starting point is 10–12 times your annual income, plus any outstanding debts like your mortgage. But the right amount depends on your specific situation – your income, debts, number of dependents, and future expenses like college tuition. Our advisors can help you nail down the right number.
 
Term life covers you for a specific period (like 20 years) and is the most affordable option for most families. Whole life is permanent and builds cash value, but costs significantly more. For most people focused on income replacement and family protection, term is the practical choice.
 
Not necessarily. Many carriers now offer no-exam policies that can be approved in minutes. These typically have slightly higher premiums but are a great option for people who want fast coverage or have health history concerns. We can show you both options side by side.
 
Group coverage through an employer is a great starting point, but it’s usually only 1–2x your salary — far less than most families need. It also disappears the moment you leave your job. An individual policy travels with you and can be sized to what your family actually needs.
 
It’s rarely too late. Premiums do increase with age and health conditions can affect rates, but many people in their 50s and 60s still find very affordable options. The best thing to do is get a quote – you may be pleasantly surprised.
