Critical Illness & Specified Disease Insurance

Financial Support When a Serious Illness Changes Everything

A serious diagnosis can affect more than your health. Critical Illness Insurance can provide a cash benefit following a qualifying diagnosis under your policy — helping you focus on treatment, recovery, and the people who matter most.

What critical illness insurance offers

Protection designed around real-life needs

Paid Directly to You

Eligible benefits are paid to you rather than directly to a hospital or healthcare provider.

Use the Money Your Way

Depending on your needs, the benefit may help with deductibles, household expenses, transportation, childcare, lost income, or treatment that is not covered by your medical insurance.

Personalized Guidance

Kincaid Solutions helps you compare available options and understand important details such as covered conditions, benefit percentages, exclusions, waiting periods, and policy limits.

A simple, three-step path

How critical illness insurance works

  1. Select Your Coverage

    Review the available benefit amounts, policy options, and riders that may fit your needs and budget.

  2. Experience a Qualifying Diagnosis

    Coverage is based on the medical definitions, eligibility requirements, and conditions stated in your policy.

  3. Receive the Eligible Benefit

    Once a covered claim is approved, the benefit is paid according to the terms of your policy.

Coverage options

Critical Illness Coverage Options

Available coverage may include:

  • Benefit amounts ranging from $10,000 to $50,000
  • Standalone policy options offered in $10,000 increments
  • Certain rider options offered in $5,000 increments
  • Coverage options for eligible children when included with an adult policy

Coverage amounts, availability, underwriting requirements, and eligibility may vary.

Qualifying conditions

Conditions That May Qualify for Benefits

Depending on the selected policy, benefits may be available for qualifying diagnoses or procedures such as:

  • Internal cancer
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • End-stage renal failure
  • Major organ transplant
  • Pacemaker implantation
  • Coronary artery bypass surgery

The amount paid may be a percentage of the total policy benefit. Certain conditions or procedures may qualify for a full benefit, while others may qualify for a partial benefit. Cancer benefits may also vary according to the type, stage, and medical definition of the diagnosis. Some early-stage cancers, skin cancers, pre-malignant conditions, or other excluded diagnoses may not qualify for the full benefit. Please review the applicable policy documents for complete definitions, limitations, exclusions, and benefit requirements.

How the benefit may help

A cash benefit may help with expenses like:

  • Health insurance deductibles and coinsurance
  • Treatment not covered by medical insurance
  • Mortgage or rent payments
  • Utilities and regular household bills
  • Transportation and lodging during treatment
  • Childcare or household assistance
  • Income lost while recovering

Once an eligible benefit has been paid, you decide how to use the money based on your needs.
