Protect Your Family’s Wealth
Imagine getting a cancer diagnosis. As the doctor explains your options and gives you a prognosis, your head swirls at the thoughts of your next steps. Sometimes during all the information, your thoughts will turn to the costs of treatment. What if you have a stroke or heart attack suddenly? You will not have the opportunity to consider the financial impact while doctors and nurses are working hard to save you. In either case, you are looking at additional medical bills that your health insurance may not cover. That means your out-of-pocket expenses will skyrocket.
Protect your financial assets when you purchase critical illness insurance coverage. This policy can help meet your additional monetary needs so that you can focus on recovering and healing. Executive Planning Group (EPG) has options to ensure you have the protection you need when the unexpected happens.
Some Critical Illness Stats to Consider
Many feel bulletproof in their younger years. As you age, you realize that having good health is vital to living a long healthy life. However, even with exercise and nutritious food, you may face an emergency or other life-threatening illness. A devastating diagnosis can leave you and your family in financial ruin. Consider these figures:
- Lung Cancer: The American Cancer Society estimates about 235,760 new lung cancer cases to occur in the United States in 2021.
- Costs of Cancer: In 2015, Americans spent about $183 billion on cancer-related health care. Projections indicated costs could reach $246 billion by 2030.
- Stroke: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), strokes cost Americans nearly $46 billion between 2014 and 2015. The figure only grows each year.
What Does Critical Illness Insurance Cover
When you have a severe illness or emergency, your medical insurance can be tapped out quickly. Many people try to save money on premiums by choosing high-deductible health plans. The reduced out-of-pocket expenses stop when you have to pay for those additional costs not covered by your medical insurance. Here are a few instances where critical illness insurance can help:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Kidney failure
- Cancer
- Multiple sclerosis
- Total and/or permanent blindness or deafness
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Chronic lung or liver disease
- Encephalitis
- Terminal illness
