Risk Factors

Most people want to work at organizations where they feel valued when they knock a project out of the park or meet a tight deadline. But they also want to know their company cares about them on a personal level. If they don’t feel valued, they might start losing interest.

Solution

Since many organizations don’t offer vision benefits as part of their healthcare package, providing them at your company can give you a leg up in recruiting and retention efforts. Prospective and current team members will see you’re willing to go the extra mile for them, giving you a better sales pitch for promising new talent and potentially making valuable employees more likely to stick around for the long haul.

What is Critical Illness Insurance?

Critical Illness Insurance (CI) provides a financial, lump-sum benefit to employees upon diagnosis of a covered illness. These covered illnesses are typically very severe and likely to render the affected person incapable of working. Because of the financial strain, these illnesses can place on individuals and families; critical illness insurance is designed to help ill employees pay the mortgage, seek experimental treatment, or handle unexpected medical expenses.

Group critical illness insurance doesn’t replace health insurance; it complements it. While health insurance provides payments to doctors, hospitals, and specialists, critical illness insurance provides money to employees directly at a time when they need it most.

What does Critical Illness Insurance usually cover?

Group critical illness insurance policies are designed to cover a wide variety of illnesses. These may include:

Invasive cancer
Non-invasive cancer
Heart attack
Coronary artery bypass surgery
Angioplasty
Stroke
Kidney (renal) failure
Major Organ Transplant
Paralysis
Coma
And more

Advantages of Critical Illness Insurance

Many people seek to purchase critical illness insurance through their employer. It is common for employers to offer it as a voluntary benefit.

Companies have been keen to add these plans because they recognize employees are worried about high out-of-pocket expenses with a high-deductible plan. Unlike other health care benefits, workers generally bear the entire cost of critical illness plans. That makes it a money saver for companies, as well as workers.

Critical illness insurance can be used for a variety of things, such as:

Critical medical services that might otherwise be unavailable.
Treatments not covered by a traditional policy.
Daily living expenses, allowing the critically ill to focus their time and energy on getting well instead of working to pay their bills.
Transportation expenses, such as getting to and from treatment centers, retrofitting vehicles to carry wheelchairs, and installing lifts in homes for those who can no longer navigate staircases.
Those in need of a restful place to recover can use the funds to take a vacation.

Simply put, critical illness insurance can alleviate financial worry in the event an individual becomes too sick to work.
