CriticalEvents® helps provide financial protection when needed most
New critical illness insurance from Transamerica
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Transamerica (http://www.transamericaemployeebenefits.com) is pleased to announce the launch of CriticalEvents® – critical illness insurance that helps to ease the financial burden of a major health event. This is the latest addition to a broad portfolio of products that allows employers to equip their employees with solutions to help Transform Tomorrow®.
Illness is unpredictable, and when it happens, health insurance rarely covers the entire cost. CriticalEvents covers more illnesses than products offered by other companies and pays lump-sum cash benefits that insureds can use as they see fit.
"Employees are paying a higher share of premium and higher out-of-pocket costs for health insurance than ever before," said John Stanley, chief marketing officer of Transamerica Employee Benefits. "This increased financial responsibility comes at a time when many are struggling with little or no emergency cash reserves. When employers provide CriticalEvents as part of a benefits strategy, they can help to lessen that financial impact."
Features include:
- No lifetime benefit maximum
- No waiting period
- Easy enrollment options
- Payroll-deducted premiums
- Simple product design – no categories for critical illnesses
- HSA compatibility
- New recurrent benefit options
- New issue age, attained rate and composite rate options
- Claims can be submitted online
LIMRA identified critical illness insurance as one of the fastest growing benefits of 2014. For more information, visit TransamericaEmployeeBenefits.com/Producers/Critical_Illness.
