I AM SCARED - YET - FINANCIALLY I’M NOT WORRIED
Receiving a cash lump sum benefit - upon diagnosis affords you the ability to focus on your treatment, not your finances while protecting the family from unexpected costs.

ADVANTAGES - SIMPLE & DIRECT
Upon diagnosis of a covered condition, a check is sent to YOU, the policyholder, not the health care provider. You do not have to submit receipts or medical bills to an insurance company.
Examples include:
- Paying health insurance deductibles and copayments
- Services or treatments not covered by health insurance
- Ongoing expenses, like mortgage, utilities and home maintenance
- Expenses for travel to receive treatment
- Replacing lost income while you are out of work
- Hiring home health care or child-care services
Premiums can not change as long as you own the policy.
There’s no elimination period, so the policy benefit can be used immediately. Policy benefits can be used for anything you choose. It is your money. You control how to spend it. If a family member is willing to help but has to take time off of work, you can pay that family member out the policy benefits, no problem.

Example Cancer Policy Scenario
Let’s assume Karen receives a cancer diagnosis and is unable to work while receiving treatment.
Her health insurance policy has a $2,500 deductible, which means that’s the amount she must pay out of pocket.
In addition, with no money coming in, she still has ongoing expenses (mortgage, utilities, groceries, etc.) She also needs to pay for travel expenses so her daughter can make an extended visit to be with her during treatment.
Fortunately, Karen has a Cancer policy that pays a $20,000 benefit. That means she receives $20,000 upon the diagnosis of cancer, giving her the funds she needs to pay health insurance deductibles plus money that can be used to help cover other expenses.
