Most people are not prepared for the financial burden that can adversely affect their lifestyle—and their financial security. A study from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network concluded that with more than 200 different types of disease, there is no “average cost of cancer.”² But there are almost always tangential costs of illness—and these can be devastating.

Consider how the following indirect costs might impact you financially:

• Your lost income. How long might you be out of work? While Disability insurance may cover a portion of your income from work you miss, there’s usually a waiting period before your benefits kick in.
• Lost family member income. Your spouse or other family members may need to miss work to care for you.
• Additional family care costs. You may need extra help caring for children or elderly family members while you’re undergoing treatment or in recovery. Or you may require an in-home caregiver for yourself.
• Costs for experimental medical treatments. When not covered by your Health insurance, being able to afford these treatments could make a life-saving difference.
• Travel expenses. You and a companion may need to travel and spend an extended time away from home for specialized treatment.

If you are diagnosed with a serious condition, having Critical Illness insurance issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, may help provide you and your family with the financial stability necessary to focus on healing during perhaps the most difficult time in your life.
