Critical Illness
Get financial support to help when a serious illness strikes. Offered through MetLife, this plan is a supplement, not a replacement, to your medical coverage, and is completely portable so you can take it with you if you leave the Company.
How it works
Unexpected costs from a critical illness can add both financial and emotional stress. To help provide extra financial protection, an individual Critical Illness insurance policy is available for you to purchase through MetLife.
The plan pays a lump-sum benefit — $10,000 or $20,000 — to you when diagnosed with a major illness such as:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- End stage renal failure
- Major organ failure
- Invasive cancer
With this coverage, the benefit is paid directly to you all at once to use for any purpose, such as paying out-of-pocket medical expenses, copays, deductibles, groceries, gas, utilities, and more. See the full list of covered illnesses here.
This benefit is not health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
