Critical Illness Insurance

You can protect yourself from the unexpected costs of a serious illness.

Even the most generous medical plan does not cover all of the expenses of a serious medical condition like a heart attack or cancer. Critical Illness Insurance from Securian pays a full lump sum benefit directly to you if you are diagnosed with a covered illness. The benefit is paid in addition to any other insurance coverage you may have. You can choose to elect $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, or $40,000 in coverage.


How Critical Illness Insurance Works


When Marco had a heart attack, he was grateful his doctors were able to stabilize his condition. He learned there was some permanent damage to his heart. He began to see his costs adding up quickly. The good news is Marco received a lump sum payment of $10,000 to help cover these expenses from the Critical Illness coverage he elected during Open Enrollment.
