AFLAC GROUP CRITICAL ILLNESSFor more information, ask your insurance agent/producer, call 1.800.433.3036, or visit aflacgroupinsurance.com.Aflac can help ease the financial stress of surviving a critical illness.Chances are you may know someone who’s been diagnosed with a critical illness. You can’t help notice the difference in the person’s life—both physically and emotionally. What’s not so obvious is the impact a critical illness may have on someone’s personal finances.That’s because while a major medical plan may pay for a good portion of the costs associated with a critical illness, there are a lot of expenses that may not be covered. And, during recovery, having to worry about out-of-pocket expenses is the last thing anyone needs. That’s the benefit of an Aflac Group Critical Illness plan.It can help with the treatment costs of covered critical illnesses, such as a heart attack or stroke.More importantly, the plan helps you focus on recuperation instead of the distraction of out-of-pocket costs. With the Critical Illness plan, you receive cash benefits directly (unless otherwise assigned)—giving you the flexibility to help pay bills related to treatment or to help with everyday living expenses. But it doesn’t stop there. Having group critical illness insurance from Aflac means that you may have added financial resources to help with medical costs or ongoing living expenses.Features:• Benefits are paid directly to you, unless otherwise assigned.• Coverage is available for you, your spouse, and dependent children.• Coverage may be continued (with certain stipulations). That means you can take it with you if you changejobs or retire.How It Works: Aflac Group Critical Illness coverage is selected.Aflac Group Critical Illness pays an Initial Diagnosis Benefit of:$10,000You experience chest pains and numbness in the left arm.You visit the emergency room.A physician determines that you have suffered a heart attack.Amount payable based on $10,000 Initial Diagnosis Benefit.Page 10
