Critical illness insurance is an insurance product in which the insurance company will typically make a lump sum cash payment if the policyholder is diagnosed with one of the specific illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, etc. that is covered by the policy.

While you can shop for policies yourself with the below companies, many people find it helpful to go through an agent/broker for assistance.    There is no extra cost or charge when working with a broker, so I encourage you to reach out to me for assistance.   I currently have two carriers that have critical illness insurance offerings.
