Cancer Insurance Cancer Assist helps protect employees and their loved ones through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. This individual voluntary policy provides benefits that can be used for both medical and out-of-pocket, non-medical expenses traditional health insurance may not cover. Cancer Assist can enhance any competitive benefits package without adding costs to a company’s bottom line.
Competitive advantages
Composite rates are available. There are four distinct plan levels, each featuring the same benefits with premiums and benefit amounts designed to meet a variety of budgets and coverage needs (benefits overview on reverse). Indemnity-based benefits provide exactly what’s listed for the selected plan level. The plan’s family care benefit provides a daily benefit when a covered dependent child receives inpatient or outpatient cancer treatment. Employer-optional cancer wellness/health screening benefits are available: – Part One covers 24 tests. If selected, the employer chooses one of four benefit amounts for employees: $25, $50, $75 or $100. This benefit is payable once per covered person per calendar year. – Part Two covers an invasive diagnostic test or surgical procedure if an abnormal result from a Part One test requires additional testing. This benefit is payable once per calendar year per covered person and matches the Part One benefit.
Flexible family coverage
Individual, individual/spouse, one-parent and two-parent family policies Family coverage that includes eligible dependent children (to age 26) for the same rate, regardless of the number of children covered

The benefit for covered dependent children is two and a half times ($2,500-25,000) the chosen benefit amount.

Whole Life Insurance You can’t predict your family’s future, but you can be prepared for it. You like to think that you’ll be there for your family in the years to come. But if something happened to you, would your family have the income they need?
$
In the U.S., medical spending in the last 12 months of life is nearly $80,000 per person. HealthAffairs.org, End-Of-Life Medical Spending In Last Twelve Months Of Life Is Lower Than Previously Reported, July 2017.
It’s not easy to think about such serious circumstances, but it’s important to make sure your family is financially protected. You can gain peace of mind with whole life insurance from Colonial Life.

HOW MUCH COVERAGE DO YOU NEED? £ YOU $ ___________________ Select the option: £ Paid-Up at Age 70 £ Paid-Up at Age 100 £ SPOUSE $ _______________ Select the option: £ Paid-Up at Age 70 £ Paid-Up at Age 100 £ DEPENDENT STUDENT $____________ £ Paid-Up at Age 70 £ Paid-Up at Age 100
Select any optional riders: £S pouse term life rider $ _____________ face amount for ________-year term period £ Children’s term life rider $ _____________ face amount £ Accidental death benefit rider £ Chronic care accelerated death benefit rider
Additional coverage options Spouse term life rider Cover your spouse up to a maximum death benefit of $50,000; 10-year and 20-year spouse term riders are available. Juvenile whole life policy You can purchase a policy while children are young and premiums are low – whether or not you buy a policy on yourself. You may also increase the coverage when the child is 18, 21 and 24 without providing proof of good health. The plan is paid-up at age 70. Children’s term life rider You may purchase up to $20,000 in term life coverage for all of your eligible dependent children and pay one premium. The children’s term life rider may be added to either your policy or your spouse’s policy – not both. Accidental death benefit rider The beneficiary may receive an additional benefit if the covered person dies as a result of an accident before age 70. The benefit doubles if the accidental bodily injury occurs while riding as a fare-paying passenger using public transportation, such as ride-sharing services. An additional 25% will be payable if the injury is sustained while driving or riding in a private passenger vehicle and wearing a seatbelt. Chronic care accelerated death benefit rider If a licensed health care practitioner certifies that you have a chronic illness, you may receive an advance on all or a portion of the death benefit, available in a one-time lump sum or monthly payments.2 A chronic illness means you require substantial supervision due to a severe cognitive impairment or you may be unable to perform at least two of the six Activities of Daily Living (bathing, continence, dressing, eating, toileting and transferring). Premiums are waived during the benefit period. Critical illness accelerated death benefit rider If you suffer a heart attack (myocardial infarction), stroke or end-stage renal (kidney) failure, a $5,000 benefit is payable.2 A subsequent diagnosis benefit is included. Guaranteed purchase option rider If you are age 50 or younger when you purchase the policy, you can add the rider, which allows you to purchase additional whole life coverage – without having to answer health questions – at three different points in the future. You may purchase up to your initial face amount, not to exceed a total combined maximum of $100,000 for all options.
£ Critical illness accelerated death benefit rider
Waiver of premium benefit rider Premiums are waived (for the policy and riders) if you become totally disabled before the policy anniversary following your 65th birthday and you satisfy the six-month elimination period. Once you are no longer disabled, premium payments will resume.
£ Guaranteed purchase option rider
1 Loan should be repaid to protect the policy’s value.
£ Waiver of premium benefit rider
2 Any payout would reduce the death benefit. Benefits may be taxable as income. Individuals should consult with their legal or tax counsel when deciding to apply for accelerated benefits.
