Why do you need this coverage?
The reality no one wants to face unprepared

Thanks to medical advances, more people survive critical illnesses — but they also face unexpected costs that regular health insurance doesn't cover. Recovering from a heart attack can keep you out of work for two weeks to three months. 51% of cancer patients end up with medical debt.

Active Care gives you cash when you receive a covered diagnosis — to use however you want: deductibles, rent, medications, gas, or simply living while you recover.

Key difference: Even if you already have health insurance, Active Care pays on top of it, with no restrictions on how you use the money.

Subsequent diagnosis benefit

If cancer returns, or you have a second heart attack or stroke, you can receive another payment. The percentage grows with the time elapsed since the previous diagnosis:
