(NC)—A brush with serious illness can mean time off work to rest and recuperate – as well as time off the company payroll, which may have serious financial consequences. To lessen this risk, many families opt for a financial booster shot of sorts: critical illness insurance.
“The burden of an unforeseen illness can be more than physical and emotional. It can shake a family's financial security,” says Dave Minor, Vice President, TD Insurance. “Critical illness insurance offers peace of mind and it allows people to keep their focus where it belongs – with their loved one.”
The fundamental advantage of critical illness insurance is the financial support it can provide to an individual or family if a primary income earner is unable to work due to a covered illness. But there are other notable advantages to consider.
Time
Rather than feeling pressured to return to work prematurely, cash flow provided by critical illness insurance can make it possible to recover completely, on your own time.
Treatments
The latest treatments may not be available locally or funded by public health plans. Extra funds can provide access to the most up-to-date care, and support lifestyle and recovery demands such as private nursing, physical therapy and medical equipment.
Training
A serious illness could force a career change, or require a modified job or schedule. Having the financial ability to access the latest job training could be invaluable.
