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.
