Protection you can count on with
Critical Illness Insurance

While cancer survival rates have dramatically increased because of modern medical treatment, these treatments are expensive, and together with other related costs, can create a serious financial burden on the victim’s family. Sadly, many people lack the cancer insurance coverage they need to help pay the costs associated with the treatment it may require.

Here’s how Marie used Critical Illness insurance

from Combined Insurance to worry less and pay for more

MARIE'S STORY

Marie always prided herself on leading a healthy lifestyle but that did not stop her from suffering a heart attack at age 45 that caused her to undergo emergency cardiac catheterization and stent placement. Despite Canada's universal healthcare coverage, Marie faced out-of-pocket expenses including rehabilitation, costly prescriptions and transportation to and from doctor's appointments. Thanks to her Critical Illness policy from Combined Canada, Marie was able to focus on her recovery and being with her family rather than the financial impact of her medical care or the stress of being out of work
