Get Protection for Your Finances as well as Your Health.
Supplemental coverage for life's most serious health events
A serious cancer diagnosis, heart attack, or stroke can affect much more than your health. Medical care may be only one part of the financial challenge.
​
Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke supplemental insurance can provide benefits for covered conditions, giving you additional financial resources when you need them most.
​
Use eligible benefits to help with medical expenses, household bills, transportation, lost income, caregiving, recovery, or other expenses allowed by your policy.
​
Coverage, eligibility, benefits, exclusions, limitations, and definitions vary by plan and policy.
When Your Health Changes, Your Finances Can Change Too.
Health insurance may help with covered medical care. But what about everything else?
A serious illness can create expenses that extend beyond the medical bill.
​
Even with health insurance, you may still have deductibles, copayments, transportation costs, household bills, time away from work, caregiving expenses, and other financial responsibilities.
​
That's where supplemental protection may help.
Depending on your policy, benefits may provide additional funds following a qualifying covered condition—giving you greater flexibility during a difficult time.
Additional Financial Protection When You Need It
Designed to complement—not replace—your primary health insurance
Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke insurance is supplemental coverage.
​
Your primary health insurance generally helps pay for covered medical services. Supplemental coverage is designed to provide additional benefits when you experience a qualifying condition or event covered by your policy.
​
Depending on the plan, benefits may be paid directly to you.
​
That can give you flexibility to use eligible benefits where they are needed most.
EXPERIENCE A COVERED CONDITION
A qualifying diagnosis or event occurs according to the policy's definition.
SUBMIT YOUR CLAIM
​Your claim is reviewed according to the policy's requirements.
RECEIVE YOUR BENEFIT
If approved, the applicable benefit is paid according to the policy terms.
Your Benefit. Your Priorities.
Medical expenses aren't the only financial challenge after a serious diagnosis.
Depending on the policy and benefit received, supplemental benefits may help you manage expenses such as:
MEDICAL BILLS
Help with eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.
HOUSEHOLD BILLS
Help keep everyday financial obligations on track
TRANSPORTATION
Help with transportation-related costs during treatment or recovery.
LOST INCOME
Help provide additional financial flexibility when illness affects your ability to work.
CAREGIVING
Help address certain caregiving or support-related expenses.
RECOVERY
Help provide financial resources while you focus on treatment and recovery.
Benefits may be subject to policy terms, conditions, exclusions, limitations, and qualifying requirements.
Financial Support When Cancer Changes Your Plans
Additional protection designed around qualifying cancer-related events
Cancer treatment can involve more than doctor's visits and hospital bills.
​
Depending on the plan selected, cancer coverage may provide benefits associated with qualifying cancer diagnoses and certain related services or expenses.
​
Available benefits can vary by policy and may include provisions related to hospitalization, treatment, transportation, lodging, screening, surgery, prescribed medications, or other covered services.
​
Some plans may also offer optional recurrence or restoration features.
​
Coverage is based on the policy—not simply on the presence of a medical diagnosis.
Protection for Unexpected Cardiovascular Events
Because recovery can affect both your health and your finances
A heart attack or stroke can create immediate medical needs and potentially affect work, transportation, household responsibilities, and recovery.
Supplemental heart attack and stroke coverage can provide benefits when a qualifying event meets the policy's definition.
Depending on the plan, coverage may include a first-occurrence benefit and optional features designed to provide additional protection.
Choose the Protection That Fits Your Needs
Coverage can be structured around the financial risks you want to address.
Depending on eligibility and availability, you may be able to choose:
CANCER
COVERAGE​
Focused supplemental protection for qualifying cancer-related events.
HEART & STROKE COVERAGE
Additional financial protection for qualifying heart attack and stroke events.
COMBINED COVERAGE
Cancer plus heart and stroke protection in one supplemental solution.
OPTIONAL
RIDERS
Some plans may offer additional features such as recurrence, restoration, critical care, or other supplemental benefits.
Coverage Designed Around Your Financial Needs
Select an amount that helps address the financial gap you're trying to protect.
Available coverage amounts vary by plan, eligibility, underwriting, and state.
​
Certain available plans may offer combined coverage amounts of up to $150,000.
​
Rather than simply choosing the largest benefit available, consider the financial obligations you would want additional protection to help address if a covered serious illness occurred.
Potential financial considerations include:
​
-
Deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses
-
Mortgage or rent
-
Monthly household bills
-
Transportation
-
Lost income
-
Caregiving
-
Recovery-related expenses
-
Emergency savings
$150,000 is an available maximum for certain plans and does not represent a guaranteed benefit or coverage amount for every applicant. Benefits, eligibility, exclusions, limitations, and available amounts vary by policy.

Having health insurance is important—but it doesn't necessarily eliminate every financial consequence of a serious illness.
​
Your health plan may help cover eligible medical care while you remain responsible for applicable deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and other expenses.
​
And medical expenses aren't the only concern.
​
A serious illness may also affect your income, transportation, childcare, household expenses, or ability to work.
​
Supplemental coverage may provide another layer of financial protection for qualifying conditions.
