What is AD&D Insurance?
AD&D pays a cash benefit in the event of an accidental death or if an accident causes specific permanent injuries.
Introducing Coverage for Cancer or Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke.
If you choose an Additional Coverage amount, you can add the Cancer Coverage or Cancer Heart Attack & Stroke Coverage to your AD&D insurance. This coverage pays a benefit to you or your beneficiaries after a covered diagnosis. The money you receive can help pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses, relieving financial stress while you focus on getting well.
Cancer or Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke Coverage may not be available in your state or provided by your credit union.
