Critical Illness coverage helps you focus on recovery

A lump sum is paid out if you are diagnosed with and survive a covered critical illness. You can use this payout any way you want:

Reduce your financial burden:

• Pay off or reduce your mortgage, credit cards or other debt.
• Keep your business running.
• Save for your retirement.

Access to leading-edge medical treatments:

• Pay for medications and treatments not covered by BC Medical Services Plan (MSP).
• Pay for treatments not available in Canada, and/or your travel and accommodation costs.

Maintain your independence:

• Modify your home or vehicle to improve your mobility.
• Hire home care or domestic help during your recovery.

Focus on what's important:

• Fund a leave of absence for you and/or spouse.
• Spend time with family and focus on your recovery.

The BCCA Employee Benefit Program's Critical Illness coverage is customized for membership, with added-value benefits such as double payout for occupational injuries and hospital cash in case of an accident.
