Lump-sum benefit on diagnosis of qualifying critical illnesses.

4 min read

How it works

Cash benefit triggered by diagnosis of conditions like heart attack, stroke, or cancer. Use the funds for anything - deductibles, travel for treatment, mortgage, child care, or simply taking time off work.

Pairs well with HSA strategies

GSS LIFE often combines critical illness coverage with HSA planning so you have both pre-tax savings and immediate cash on diagnosis.

Common questions

Is this the same as health insurance?

No - it's supplemental and pays you directly, regardless of what your health insurance covers.
