Help remove the financial worry of a serious illness.

BCBSAZ has teamed with Equitable* to offer critical illness insurance so employees and their families can be better prepared for the unexpected.

Enhance your benefits package at no additional cost by offering coverage that provides a lump-sum cash payment if members are diagnosed with a covered condition. They can use the cash however they choose, to cover the following expenses, for example:

  • Out-of-pocket medical costs, including deductibles and copays
  • Rent or mortgage payments
  • Credit card or utility bills
  • Groceries
  • Rehab costs
  • Other financial commitments

*Group critical illness insurance policies are underwritten by Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America, under Policy Form Series MOEBP19 CI.

“Critical Illness insurance” is a limited benefit policy. It does NOT provide basic hospital, basic medical or major medical insurance, and does not satisfy the requirement for Minimum Essential Coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
