    Critical illness insurance can be a wise purchase for many reasons. If you have a good major medical plan you will still have out of pocket expenses for copay's, deductibles and coinsurance. There will also be expenses that may not be covered under your major medical policy. Critical illness can help supplement these costs.

    Absolutely!  Critical illness insurance is paid in lump sum payments from anywhere between 10 and 500 thousand dollars.  While most medical plans cover hospital and medical expenses, it does not cover things such as medical co-pays, transportation to treatment centers, bills, etc.  The lump sum payment allows a person to use the money where it’s needed most, whether it’s for medical bills or regular bills. About 20 major illnesses are covered and it’s perfect for high-risk jobs, non-working spouses and the self-employed (all people who might have a hard time getting disability insurance).
