EquiLiving

EquiLiving provides a lump-sum benefit, following a survival period of typically 30 days after diagnosis of one of the critical conditions covered by the plan. You can use the benefit payment any way you wish, to make living with one of the life-altering conditions more comfortable.

Why it makes sense

With increased life expectancy and medical advances, the risk of living with a serious illness is significant, and the costs can be staggering.  Government health care programs provide only the basics. Depending on your needs, EquiLiving could help:

  • keep you and your family in your home,
  • keep your business viable,
  • cover the cost of extended health care requirements,
  • allow you to undertake out-of-country or alternative therapies.
