Critical Illness, Accident, Hospital Indemnity, and Cancer Insurance

Voya

Voya offers a suite of benefit options. They protect you from the “What Ifs” of life. Like WHAT IF you, or someone you love, has a heart attack or stroke? Is diagnosed with a serious illness? Has an accident, or needs an extended hospital stay?

Unexpected events like these can happen to anyone, at any time. When they do, they create emotional and financial stress. Serious health conditions are disruptive and can often be terrifying. They generate uncertainty along with potentially significant out-of-pocket costs.  You will have new expenses to cover along with all your family’s other normal monthly bills. That is where these benefit options come in. While triggered by medical conditions, they are not medical insurance. The plans provide only one form of benefit — cash — paid directly to you, to use as you see fit. You will find it a lot easier to focus on recovery — when you do not have to worry about providing for your family.

You will find it a lot easier to focus on recovery — when you don’t have to worry about providing for your family.
