While you can never be fully prepared for a major illness, MetLife’s Critical Illness Insurance can help you be better financially prepared.

Emotionally managing covered illnesses like cancer¹, a heart attack or a stroke² is hard enough. Financially managing the costs related to the covered illnesses on top of this is often overwhelming. Critical illness insurance provides a lump sum payment for covered conditions to help you and your family have financial support in a difficult time. So, you’ll be able to spend less time worrying about money and more time focusing on healing.

• You’ll receive a lump sum payment to use as you see fit
• Use it for prescriptions, deductibles, co-payments, experiential/non-traditional treatments and even non-medical expenses like everyday bills
• Pays out in addition to what your medical insurance covers
• Payments may be paid directly to you, not to the doctors, hospitals or healthcare providers

¹ Please review the Disclosure Statement or Outline of Coverage/Disclosure Document for specific information about cancer benefits. Not all types of cancer are covered. Some cancers are covered at less than the Initial Benefit Amount. For NH-sitused cases and NH residents, there is an initial benefit of $100 for All Other Cancer.
² In certain states, the Covered Condition is Severe Stroke.

METLIFE CRITICAL ILLNESS INSURANCE (CII ) IS A LIMITED BENEFIT GROUP INSURANCE POLICY. Like most group accident and health insurance policies, MetLife's CII policies contain certain exclusions, limitations and terms for keeping them in force. Product features and availability may vary by state. In most plans, there is a pre-existing condition exclusion. After a covered condition occurs, there is a benefit suspension period during which most plans do not pay recurrence benefits, except in the case of insureds covered under a New York certificate. MetLife offers CII on both an Attained Age and an Issue Age basis. Attained Age rates are based on 5-year age bands and will increase when a Covered Person reaches a new age band. MetLife’s Issue Age CII is guaranteed renewable and may be subject to benefit reductions that begin at age 65. Premium rates for MetLife’s Issue Age CII are based on age at the time of the initial coverage effective date and will not increase due to age; premium rates for increases in coverage, including the addition of dependents coverage, if applicable, will be based on the covered person’s age at the time of the initial coverage effective date. Rates are subject to change for MetLife’s Issue Age CII on a class-wide basis. A more detailed description of the benefits, limitations, and exclusions applicable to both Attained Age and Issue Age CII can be found in the applicable Disclosure Statement or Outline of Coverage/Disclosure Document available at time of enrollment. For complete details of coverage and availability, please refer to the group policy form GPNP07-CI, GPNP09-CI or GPNP14-CI, or contact MetLife for more information. Benefits are underwritten by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, New York, New York.

MetLife’s Critical Illness Insurance is not intended to be a substitute for Medical Coverage providing benefits for medical treatment, including hospital, surgical and medical expenses. MetLife's Critical Illness Insurance does not provide reimbursement for such expense.
