Due to a “perfect storm” of rising health care premiums and increases in treatment costs, many will be looking for a solution to help fill the gap between coverage and out-of-pocket expenses.
Nearly everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer or heart disease. Unfortunately, many believe that their health care coverage is adequate to cover all the expenses associated with these conditions. As costs and deductibles rise, YOU may be feeling the financial pinch more every year.
When someone is diagnosed with a serious illness, there can be a lot of costs beyond what traditional health insurance covers, and it’s often more than people expect. As an example, health insurance deductibles have increased 62% in the last 10 years.
Along with high deductibles, the policy benefit could also be used for any out-of-pocket expense, such as:
• Services or treatment not covered by regular health insurance
• Travel expenses
• Child care
• Ongoing expenses like mortgage, groceries or utility bills
• The benefit amount is sent directly to YOU upon diagnosis
• Policy benefits are tax free
• Family coverage is available
• Internal Cancer or Malignant Melanoma-100%
• Heart Attack – 100%
• Stroke – 100%
• Alzheimer’s Disease – 100%
• Major Organ Transplant – 100%
• Blindness – 100%
• Deafness – 100%
• Kidney Failure – 100%
• Coronary artery bypass surgery – 25%
• Coronary angioplasty surgery – 25%
