for your needs
For when you need help,
Trusty Health has you covered.
Employer-Paid Critical
Illness Insurance
Provide a company-funded benefit that helps employees handle the financial impact of a serious diagnosis. This option strengthens your benefits package and demonstrates a strong commitment to employee well-being.
Voluntary Critical
Illness Coverage
Allow employees to choose and pay for coverage through payroll deductions, often at competitive group rates. This gives them access to valuable protection with minimal cost to the employer.
Supplemental Critical
Illness Coverage
Add an extra layer of financial support alongside major medical coverage. Supplemental plans can help employees manage deductibles, out-of-pocket costs, lost income, and everyday expenses during treatment and recovery.
Financial protection during Critical treatment
Fully Insured Plans
What's included
Critical Illness insurance provides a lump-sum cash benefit to help cover the high costs associated with surviving a serious illness.
Common coverage may include:
Heart Attack & Stroke
Coverage may include ambulance transportation.
Major Organ Failure
Benefits can help with x-rays.
Invasive Cancer
Employees may receive lump-sum benefits for fractures.
Follow-up treatment and therapy support
Helps cover travel costs when treatment requires.
Cardiovascular & Sudden Events
Provides an immediate lump-sum benefit for major health crises, including heart attack, stroke, or sudden cardiac arrest, helping cover costs during the critical first days of recovery.
Major Organ & System Failure
Financial support for life-threatening conditions such as end-stage renal (kidney) failure or major organ transplants (heart, lung, liver, or pancreas).
Cancer & Specialized Care
Delivers a cash benefit upon the diagnosis of invasive cancer or other specified diseases, allowing you to focus on treatment rather than medical bills.
Self-Funded Strategies for Critical Illness
By incorporating critical illness coverage into a self-funded model, employers can better manage the financial volatility of high-cost claims. This proactive approach provides employees with immediate financial support for life-altering diagnoses while allowing the company to retain savings when claims are lower than expected.
Stop-Loss Protection
Integrating critical illness benefits with a stop-loss.
No deductibles
Coverage starts immediately.
No out-of-pocket costs for covered care
Covered care is fully paid by the plan.
Medical expenses are covered through monthly contributions and protected by stop-loss insurance, ensuring the employer is shielded from catastrophic claims.
Why It Matters
Critical Illness Insurance — Financial Peace of Mind
Covers Major
Health Events
Provides a lump-sum payment for life-altering diagnoses like heart attack, stroke, or organ failure that major medical alone may not fully cover.
Offsets High
Out-of-Pocket Costs
High-deductible plans can leave employees with massive bills; this benefit fills that gap, ensuring medical debt doesn't follow a health crisis.
Total Financial
Flexibility
Unlike health insurance, the cash is paid directly to the employee to use for anything—mortgage, specialized treatment, or childcare during recovery.
Reduces Stress
During Recovery
By removing the immediate worry of "how to pay the bills," employees can focus entirely on getting better and returning to health.
Easy Claims &
Fast Support
Simple triggers for payment based on diagnosis mean employees get the funds they need quickly, without complex medical billing hurdles.

Our Strategies
Who Should Consider Critical Illness Insurance?
Critical illness insurance is a vital strategic addition for employers looking to provide a comprehensive financial safety net. It is especially valuable for workforces facing high-stress environments or those enrolled in high-deductible health plans, where a single diagnosis could lead to significant financial strain.
Primary Breadwinners: Individuals whose families depend on their monthly income to cover mortgages, tuition, and daily living expenses.
Employees in High-Pressure Roles: Professionals in high-stress environments who may have a higher statistical risk for stress-related cardiac events or stroke.
Individuals with Family Medical Histories: Those with a known history of cancer, heart disease, or kidney failure who want proactive protection.
Workers on High-Deductible Plans: Employees who may struggle to cover the large “out-of-pocket” gap before their primary health insurance kicks in.
Budget-Conscious Families: Teams looking for a low-cost way to ensure a major illness doesn’t lead to long-term medical debt.

Common Mistakes Employers Make With Critical Illness Insurance
Common Mistakes Employers Make With Critical Illness Insurance
Underestimating Out-of-Pocket Gaps
Assuming major medical covers everything. In reality, costs like experimental treatments and non-medical bills can quickly deplete an employee's savings.
Neglecting Employee Education
If employees don't understand that this is a "lump-sum cash" benefit rather than a reimbursement, they may not realize its true value during a crisis.
Strictly Limited Coverage Lists
Choosing plans that only cover one or two illnesses. A strong strategy ensures a broad range of conditions (heart, stroke, organ failure) are included.
Overlooking the "Survival" Factor
Modern medicine means more people survive critical illnesses, but the financial recovery takes much longer than the physical one. Plans must account for this.
Insured Options
Understanding Your
Plan Options
Employers can structure accident insurance in different ways depending on workforce needs, contribution strategy, and enrollment goals.
Employer-Paid or Voluntary Plans
Choosing how to fund your Critical Illness benefit is a key strategic decision. An Employer-Paid model ensures 100% participation, creating a universal safety net that significantly enhances your firm’s competitive edge in the labor market. This approach demonstrates a profound commitment to employee welfare during life’s most challenging moments.
Alternatively, a Voluntary model allows employees to take personal responsibility for their financial protection. By leveraging your company’s group purchasing power, employees can access high-quality coverage at rates far lower than individual retail policies. These are handled via seamless payroll deductions, providing a “zero-cost” way for employers to expand their benefits menu while offering workers the peace of mind that comes with portable, reliable health protection.
Flexible Benefit Designs
Not all Critical Illness plans are created equal. Our strategy focuses on Flexible Benefit Designs that allow you to curate the specific list of covered conditions that best fit your workforce demographics. Whether your team is primarily concerned with core threats like heart disease and stroke, or you want to provide broader protection for neurological disorders like ALS, Alzheimer’s, or MS, our plans adapt to your needs.
Beyond the standard diagnosis triggers, these designs can include “Recurrence Benefits,” which provide additional payouts if an employee faces a second diagnosis later in life. This ensures that the insurance remains a long-term asset rather than a one-time payment, adapting to the realities of modern medical recovery and long-term health management.
Individual and Family Coverage Levels
A critical illness doesn’t just affect the patient; it impacts the entire family unit. To address this, we offer tiered coverage levels that allow employees to extend their protection to Spouses and Dependent Children. When a spouse or child faces a major health crisis, the resulting loss of work hours and increased household expenses for the employee can be just as devastating as their own illness.
By offering family-wide enrollment options, you provide a holistic solution that protects the employee’s total financial stability. These plans are designed with “Guaranteed Issue” windows, meaning family members can often gain coverage without undergoing intrusive medical exams. This inclusive approach ensures that no matter who in the household receives a difficult diagnosis, the family has the liquid capital necessary to seek the best possible care without compromising their future savings.

Finding the Right Strategy
Every business is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all insurance solution. Our team helps employers evaluate all available options to determine the most effective strategy based on workforce size, care needs, and long-term cost goals.
