Critical Illness - Provides benefits when diagnosed with a major illness or disease.

If you  suffer a critical illness such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke, your financial burden may include many expenses not covered by medical insurance. The cash benefit can be used any way the employee wishes—from paying  medical copays and deductibles, to covering everyday expenses.

Accident Insurance - Accident insurance provides benefits when you are injured or sick. Benefits are paid directly to you and in conjunction with coverage by your medical provider. Supplemental accident insurance is an affordable way for you to protect yourself from costs that aren’t covered by these more traditional plans.
