Who Needs Critical Illness Insurance?
Different people may choose to purchase critical illness insurance for a variety of reasons. If you’re single or you are the primary breadwinner in a single-income household, you may choose to purchase this type of coverage to ensure that you don’t lose your home or are unable to keep up with bills and household expenses in the event of a major illness. Even if you have a two-income household, you may discover that there are unexpected costs associated with recovering from a major illness, such as necessary alterations to your home or vehicle. Critical illness coverage provides peace of mind that the stress of your major illness won’t be coupled with the stress of financial hardships.
Critical illness policies are not available through the “Marketplace” (Nevada Health Link). They must be purchase outside of Nevada Health link. Your broker can assist you with a Critical Illness policy. You may also be able to get critical illness insurance through your employer. This coverage is not subsidized by your employer, meaning that you’ll pay the full amount, and it is usually offered on a voluntary basis. You may also have the option of adding critical illness coverage as a rider to your existing health insurance policy. Generally speaking, critical illness policies are “stand alone” policies, meaning, they are purchased separately. So, they aren’t attached to any other policy. They are independent of any other coverages you may have. There is great value in these relatively inexpensive plans.
