Upon diagnosis of a covered illness, the lump-sum benefit is paid directly to you (unless otherwise assigned), regardless of other major medical coverage you may already have. You can use the funds to pay for medical bills, to continue making rent or mortgage payments, or however you see fit. Your cost for Critical Illness Insurance is based on your age and the level of coverage you purchase.
An unexpected hospital stay can be expensive, even with medical insurance. You can purchase Hospital Indemnity Insurance, through Cigna, to help pay for expenses related to a qualified hospital stay for a covered injury or illness. Benefits are paid directly to you, and the funds can be used as you see fit. The benefit you receive depends on the type of care you receive at the hospital and the length of your stay.
| Coverage | Monthly Rates |
|---|---|
| Employee Only | $15.25 |
| Employee + Spouse | $30.34 |
| Employee + Child(ren) | $24.91 |
| Employee + Family | $40.00 |
IMPORTANT: This is a fixed indemnity policy, NOT health insurance
This fixed indemnity policy may pay you a limited dollar amount if you’re sick or hospitalized. You’re still responsible for paying the cost of your care.
