CRITICAL ILLNESS AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Even with comprehensive coverage from your medical plan, you may still have out-of-pocket expenses if you become critically ill or seriously injured. These benefits are designed to fulfill a variety of needs, including supplementing your existing medical coverage to give you additional financial support when something unexpected happens. Life is unpredictable, and having these supplementary health benefits can help you be prepared no matter what happens.
We offer critical illness and accident insurance administered by Securian.
