Critical Illness Insurance
What is Critical Illness Insurance
Individuals who deal with critical illnesses such as cancers, strokes, and kidney failure are faced with the reality that life doesn’t pause once a diagnosis is issued. Mortgages, bills, and other expenses still need to be paid—and treatments and medical care could lead to further unexpected costs.
Chubb’s Critical Illness Insurance provides cash benefits to help cover out-of-pocket medical and non-medical expenses. Insureds can use the lump sum benefit payment for any purpose they choose: deductibles, child care, transportation costs for themselves or family members, loss of income, or any other financial need.
