Our calculator shows different rates for men and women. Why?
Critical illness insurance companies have two pricing options.
They can charge men and women who are the same age the same price. That is called ‘unisex’ pricing.
Or they can charge men and women based on their specific risk. That’s called ‘sex distinct’ pricing.
Which is better? It depends and that’s a reason to compare. For example, women in their 40s generally face a higher risk of cancer within the next 10 years. Breast cancer is the reason. So, women in their 40s may pay more than men.
Likewise, men in their 50s face a higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke within the next 10 years. So, they will likely pay more for critical illness insurance.
Our calculator shows different rates for tobacco users. Why?
This one should be pretty obvious. Tobacco users face a higher risk of cancer, They also face a higher risk of heart disease and strokes.
Insurance companies again have a choice. They can charge both the same. When they do it means that smokers are being subsidized by non-smokers.
Non-smokers should definitely compare rates from companies that offer both options. The savings could be significant.
A WARNING TO TOBACCO USERS. Making a false statement on an insurance application can void your policy when you apply for claim benefits. Don’t do it. You likely will be found out and risk getting the benefit when you need it the most.

Equally important for adults 50 or older is learning about long-term care planning. Visit the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance website. You will learn more about this important topic and be able to connect with local long-term care insurance professionals.

Additional Tips for Consumers:
Firstly, your contract defines what is covered and what is not. Verbal representations by agents or others are not binding.
Secondly, it is really important to think how many years you want this coverage to last. For many, their critical illness insurance protection is most important until they retire (at age 65 or 70). After that you will have Medicare and Social Security. You home may be fully paid off.
Thirdly. it often pays to buy this coverage 30-to-60 days before your next birthday. You may lock in lower rates.
Fourthly, for many people in their 40s and 50s. the chance you’ll use a critical illness insurance policy is higher than the chance you’ll use a disability insurance or life insurance policy. We have some good information on this website.
Finally, only buy what you know you can afford not just now but for the next few years. Too many people buy this coverage. Then they have buyers remorse and don’t pay for year two. When you do that, it may benefit the insurance agent but not you.
Regardless of what you decide, we thank you for taking the time to visit the Association’s website.
