Critical Illness

Insured by Aflac

Aflac can help ease the financial stress of surviving a critical illness. While a major medical plan may pay for a good portion of the costs associated with a critical illness, there are a lot of expenses that may not be covered. And, during recovery, having to worry about out-of-pocket expenses is the last thing anyone needs.

That’ s the benefit of an Aflac Group Critical Illness plan. It can help with the treatment costs of covered critical illnesses, such as a heart attack or stroke.

More importantly, the plan helps you focus on recuperation instead of the distraction of out-of-pocket costs. With the Critical Illness plan, you receive cash benefits directly— giving you the flexibility to help pay bills related to treatment or to help with everyday living expenses.

The plan has limitations and exclusions that may affect benefits payable. Refer to your certificate for complete details, definitions, limitations, and exclusions.
