An Assurity critical illness insurance plan provides financial protection in the form of a lump-sum benefit payment due to an unexpected critical illness.
As a result, having a critical illness plan can ensure that if you experience a health risk such as cancer, heart disease, or another severe illness, you will have the financial protection to help deal with financial burdens that often come with one of these medical emergencies.
Critical illness insurance also offers a way to supplement other forms of coverage, such as health insurance plans. So in the event of a major health problem with steep medical costs, you can avoid tapping into your personal savings or retirement accounts to pay for expenses not covered by your health insurance plans.
While Assurity is a popular option for critical illness insurance, they are not the only company to offer this type of insurance protection.
Therefore, before settling on one company’s coverage, we always recommend that you carefully review plans and compare them to all other options that would be available to you.
To help you with that task, this article is a full review of the critical illness insurance policy offered by Assurity. By the end of this review, you will fully understand how the insurance coverage works, the payable benefits, medical exam requirements, underwriting process, cost, and more.

Assurity Critical Illness Plans

There are no limitations on how you choose to use the money received from a critical illness claim payout.
The coverage amounts range from $5,000 to $500,000, depending on the plan option you select. In addition, each plan provides financial protection from multiple critical illnesses such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, advanced Alzheimer’s, organ transplant, kidney failure, and more.

Assurity Critical Illness - Medical Exam Requirements
Fully Underwritten | Simplified Issue |
---|---|
Fully underwritten application process with medical exam. | Non-medical underwriting process with five easy health questions. |
Assurity critical illness insurance plans are available in two underwriting options. Which underwriting option you qualify for will be determined by the amount of coverage you apply for.
- Fully underwritten plans require a medical exam provided by Assurity at no cost. The medical exam is short and involves an examiner coming to your home or location of your choice to check your blood pressure and obtain a urinalysis and blood sample. The information from the exam helps set the premiums for the proposed policy.
- Simplified issue plans do not require a medical exam. Instead, you will be required to answer five health questions listed within the application.

- Fully underwritten plans (requiring a medical exam) offers coverage of the largest benefits amounts, with plans starting at $75,001 going as high as $500,000.
- Simplified Issue (non-medical exam) offers smaller coverage amounts with plans starting as low as $5,000 up to $75,000.
Statistics show that the median cost of hospitalization for a heart attack is over $53,000.
Assurity Critical Illness - Covered Conditions
Fully Underwritten | Simplified Issue |
---|---|
Heart Attack - 100% Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery - 25% Angioplasty - 25% Stroke - 100% Invasive Cancer - 100% Non-Invasive Cancer - 25% Kidney Renal Failure - 100% Major Organ Transplant - Up to 100% Advanced Alzheimer's - 100% Paralysis - 100% Coma - 100% |
Assurity critical illness insurance covers a variety of illnesses, including cancer, heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney failure, organ transplants, and more.
Most conditions allow you to receive 100% of the benefit amount if diagnosed with one of the 11 critical illnesses listed within the plan. On the other hand, Angioplasty, Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, and Non-Invasive Cancer are 25% of the total benefit payout.
If a Major Organ Transplant is required (liver, kidney, lung, entire heart, or pancreas), 25% of the benefit is payable when the insured has been placed on the registry with the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and 75% payable upon completion of the organ transplant surgery.
Multiple Benefit Payouts
Assurity stands out by offering multi-benefit payouts. Most other companies have a “one and done” policy. After being diagnosed with one critical illness, you are typically no longer eligible to receive additional payouts for future diagnoses. That is not the case with Assurity and its critical illness plan.
Assurity allows you to receive a new benefit payout with each new diagnosis of a critical illness. The only rule is that the date of a new critical illness diagnosis or procedure must be separate from the date of the prior critical illness by at least six months. The new critical illness cannot be caused by or contributed to the new critical illness where benefits have already been paid.
Assurity Critical Illness - Waiting Period
Fully Underwritten | Simplified Issue |
---|---|
Coverage begins immediately with the exception of cancer diagnosis the first 30-days of the policy. |
You face no waiting period for most covered conditions. As soon as your claim is verified, your benefit is paid immediately. However, if you are diagnosed with invasive or non-invasive cancer, no benefits are paid during the first 30 days.
Suppose cancer is diagnosed during the 30-day waiting period. In that case, benefits will be paid for a subsequent diagnosis of cancer if the insured person is symptom and treatment-free for at least 12 consecutive months and in complete remission prior to the subsequent diagnosis. Coverage begins immediately for all other covered conditions.
Assurity Critical Illness - Renewability
Fully Underwritten | Simplified Issue |
---|---|
Guaranteed renewable for life; benefit amount will be reduced by 50 percent in the policy year following the insured’s 70th birthday. |
Assurity critical illness plans are guaranteed renewable for life. So as long as you make your premium payments when due, your coverage will not be canceled.
However, if your contract is still active when you reach the age of 70, the benefit amount will be reduced by 50%. For example, let’s say you originally purchased a critical illness plan with a benefit amount of $500,000. When you turn 70, the benefit amount will automatically be reduced to $250,000.
Assurity Critical Illness - Optional Policy Riders
Fully Underwritten | Simplified Issue |
---|---|
Accidental Death Benefit Rider Additional Critical Illness Rider Child Critical Illness Rider Critical Accident Rider Disability Waiver of Premium Rider Increasing Benefit Rider Loss of Independent Living Rider Reoccurrence Rider Return of Premium Rider Spouse Critical Illness Rider |
Assurity critical illness plans offer a wide selection of optional policy riders that can be added to the base coverage for an additional cost. Below is a detailed list of all optional policy riders and each rider’s benefits.
Accidental Death Benefit Rider (Not available in CT, MI, NJ, NY, and VA)
Adding this rider qualifies for a lump-sum benefit for death caused by an accidental bodily injury. Death must result directly from an accidental injury within 90 days of the accident and be independent of all other causes.
This rider is available to applicants ages 18 through 60 and terminates when the insured reaches age 70. The maximum amount of accidental death insurance that can be added to the base policy is $250,000.
Additional Critical Illness Rider (Not available in NY)
Adding this rider provides a lump-sum benefit equal to the base coverage amount if the insured is diagnosed with any of the six following critical illnesses:
- Advanced Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) – 100%
- Advanced Parkinson’s Diseases – 100%
- Loss of Sight – 100%
- Loss of Hearing – 100%
- Benign Brain Tumor – 100%
- Severe Burns – 100%
Ultimately, adding this policy rider increases the amount of covered critical illnesses from 11 to 17 total.
Child Critical Illness Rider
Adding this rider provides critical illness coverage to all children of the insured. Should an insured child be diagnosed with a qualifying illness or undergo a procedure, a lump-sum benefit will be paid to the insured parent.
Children ages 15 days old through age 18 are eligible. The total amount of coverage that a child can receive as a rider is $5,000 up to a maximum of $50,000. The child critical illness protection expires when the child reaches age 26.
Critical Accident Rider (Not available in CT, NJ, NY, PA, VA and WA)
Adding this rider pays a lump-sum benefit if the insured is confined to a hospital due to an injury sustained in a covered accident, as an inpatient prescribed by a physician for at least 20 continuous hours. Hospitalization must occur within 45 days of the covered accident.
Payouts for a covered accident are as follows:
- One day of confinement without surgery: No payable benefit
- One or two days requiring surgery: $5,000
- Two days without surgery: $2,500
- Three to six days: $7,500
- Seven to thirteen days: $15,000
- Fourteen days or more: $25,000
Disability Waiver of Premium Rider (Not available in NJ, NY and VA)
Adding this rider waives all premiums due for the policy and any attached riders, including a refund of past premiums up to a year prior to claim, if the insured person’s total disability starts while this rider is in force and has existed at least six consecutive months.
Assurity will stop waiving premiums when the insured person is no longer totally disabled; however, if total disability started on or before the insured person’s 60th birthday and continued uninterrupted until the insured person’s 65th birthday, premiums will be waived indefinitely.
Total disability means a disability due to a sickness or injury, requiring a physician’s care which, (a) for the first two years after the start of disability, keeps the insured person from doing the substantial and material duties of their own occupation; and (b) after premiums have been waived for two years, keeps the insured person from doing the substantial and material duties of any occupation for which they become reasonably suited by education, training or experience.
Increasing Benefit Rider (Not available in CA and NJ)
Adding this rider increases the policy’s benefit amount by five percent of the initial benefit amount on each policy anniversary for ten years. This rider is only available on policies with benefit amounts through $50,000.
Loss of Independent Living Rider (Not available in CA, CT, MD, NJ, NY, TX, VA and WA)
Adding this rider will pay 25 percent of the benefit amount if the insured person experiences the loss of independent living with the permanent inability to perform two or more Activities of Daily Living. A physician must diagnose the condition to have persisted for at least 180 days, starting after the 30-day waiting period.
Reoccurrence Rider
Adding this policy rider will pay a lump-sum benefit amount if the insured person receives a subsequent diagnosis of the same critical illness for which a benefit was previously paid under the policy.
The insured person must be symptom and treatment-free for a period of at least 12 consecutive months between the initial date of diagnosis and the subsequent date of diagnosis, and the critical illness must not be caused or contributed to by a critical illness for which benefits have been paid.
Return of Premium Rider (Not available in NJ, NY, PA, TN, TX and VA)
Adding this rider will provide a return of premium benefit upon termination or lapse of the policy.
Spouse Critical Illness Rider
Adding this policy rider provides critical illness coverage to a spouse under one policy. In addition, a lump-sum benefit will be paid if the spouse insured is diagnosed with a qualifying critical illness or undergoes a qualifying medical procedure.
Assurity Critical Illness - Return of Premium Upon Death
Fully Underwritten | Simplified Issue |
---|---|
Returns all premiums paid if death is a result of a non-critical illness. |
Assurity critical illness plans come with a free policy feature called a Return of Premium Upon Death. This policy feature guarantees that if the insured dies from a cause other than a specified critical illness, 100 percent of the premiums paid for the policy and any riders will be returned to the beneficiary or estate.
Application Process for Assurity Critical Illness Insurance Plans
Applying for critical illness coverage from Assurity will require the help of a licensed insurance agent, but the process is very straightforward.
When you’re ready to apply for a critical illness plan, you will have the option of completing a paper application or an electronic application option. We recommend the electronic application option to yield the quickest turnaround time by offering more automated application processing.
Both fully underwritten plans and simplified underwriting plans will still require a traditional application process that will consist of questions about your health and your family’s health.
However, the fully underwritten plans require a medical exam provided by Assurity. Therefore, the medical exam will be ordered by Assurity upon receiving a completed application for coverage.
Depending on your age and the coverage amount, the medical exam will typically consist of blood pressure readings and a blood and urinalysis sample. Most applicants choose to complete their exam in the comfort of their home, but their walk-in locations are also available. The total time it takes to complete the exam shouldn’t take longer than 30 minutes at most.
A medical exam will not be required for applicants applying for a simplified underwritten plan. However, you will need to answer the health questions listed on the application, and Assurity will view data received from third-party underwriting sources to help authenticate application responses.
Regardless of whether you are applying for a higher coverage amount with a fully underwritten plan or a smaller amount of coverage for a quick non-medical simplified underwriting process, Assurity obtains information from the medical information bureau (MIB). Then, to determine eligibility, the company also reviews your motor vehicle record (MVR) and prescription medication history.
