[spp-timestamp time=”0:55″] What is Critical Illness Insurance?
- Critical Illness Insurance is also known simply as “CI”.
- CI is an insurance coverage which offers a “living benefit” – a lump sum ranging between $25,000 – $2,000,000 in coverage.
- There are no questions from the insurance company about how the money is used; it could be put towards savings, bills, or even a vacation.
- The approach allows clients to carry on with life however they choose.
- Life-threatening cancers, heart attacks, and strokes cover roughly 88% of claims in Canada.
- 21 other claims, such as Alzheimer’s, also exist.
- Waiting periods can range from 31-181 days.
- CI has been around about 30 years in Canada.
[spp-timestamp time=”3:43″] Are there premiums or other added benefits available?
- A return of premium policy allows the client to spend a set amount each month and have any unused invested funds returned to you at the end of the period.
- This is also known as a “self-funding insurance plan.”
- If the money is not used, it is returned in full. In the long-term there is no cost.
[spp-timestamp time=”6:04″] Who is CI for?
- People with families and life insurance plans already in place will largely benefit from adding on CI to their existing insurance.
- Those under the age of 30 without a family or home can benefit from CI without needing to buy life insurance.
