Colonial Life assistant VP for product development Pam Jenkins said: “Even employees with good health insurance can face significant expenses from co-pays, deductibles and nonmedical costs related to a serious illness.

“Group critical illness insurance helps relieve financial worries by providing a lump-sum benefit payable directly to you to use as needed.”

The plan also offers spouse and child coverage, HSA-compatibility, 100% coverage for breast cancer, wellbeing assistance benefit, and access to Helpsy Health mobile app.

Jenkins added: “Critical illness insurance is an affordable option that can help employees better protect their families, their finances and their futures.”
