QBE understands the challenges that people face when dealing with financial hardships resulting from critical illnesses. QBE's Group Critical Illness insurance is one of the most comprehensive products in the market today – making it an essential part of an employer's group benefit package.

QBE's Critical Illness insurance pays a single, lump-sum benefit to a covered employee who has a life-threatening illness. Qualified claimants can use the benefit to pay out-of-pocket costs that health insurance may not cover, including out-of-network specialists, prescription drug co-pays or alternative therapies. The benefit also may be used toward non-medical expenses, such as home mortgages, heating bills or family vacations.

Critical Illness complements any employer's group benefits package – especially those who offer Consumer Driven Health Plans.
