These diagnoses can cause significant financial burden, especially if you are unable to work while receiving treatment. You can use the money you receive however you would like, including to help you pay your mortgage, pay your deductible,
seek experimental treatment, or for any other expenses. The benefit amount you receive is based on the level of coverage you purchase. You may also purchase coverage for your spouse and/or dependent children.
