OVERVIEW

You’re all about community service.   Don’t let the unexpected interrupt your work.

Unmistakably there’s a common kinship within our fraternal organization. As dedicated members of the Moose, you put the needs of others facing hardship first. But “self-care” is important too. It enables you to keep your life on track and continue to do the things that are important to you.

Self-Serve

We all learned recently that sometimes life can throw you a curveball. A serious illness can derail your plans and really impact your financial future. But members can take an important step toward helping protect their financial wellness after being diagnosed with a critical condition.

Critical Illness (CI) Insurance* is available to you as a benefit of your Moose membership. Benefits of this coverage include:

• It helps fill the gaps not covered by your medical plan.
• It pays in addition to other insurance you may have, giving you extra financial support to help pay for expenses.
• Benefit payments are sent directly to you, and you decide how to spend it.
• Payments could help you pay deductibles and co-pays, or household bills, and even groceries.

Critical Illness coverage can help pay for out-of-pocket medical and non-medical expenses, so you'll have less financial stress while recovering. CI coverage can help to pay costs of care and treatment not covered by health insurance. It can also assist with normal routine expenses such as mortgage, rent payments, and child care costs. Most importantly, you always determine the best use of the funds.

Approval for benefit payment is dependent upon proof of first incidence of diagnosis after the effective date of coverage. Benefits are paid as a lump sum based on the elected coverage amount at the time the claim has been approved.
