It\u2019s likely you or someone you know has experienced one of these life-altering events. Often times, a critical illness has a powerful impact on people\u2019s lives, affecting their livelihood and finances.<\/p>\n<p>A critical illness plan can help with the treatment costs of covered illnesses. Benefits are paid directly to you, unless otherwise assigned, giving you the choice of how to spend the money. Plus, there are plans available to provide coverage for you, your spouse and dependent children.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare now for the unexpected with a critical illness insurance plan. The plan helps you focus on getting well rather than worrying about finances.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-cb91do-39ece4bf42419dfc3a8b064b63dea3fe\">\n.flex_column.av-cb91do-39ece4bf42419dfc3a8b064b63dea3fe{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-cb91do-39ece4bf42419dfc3a8b064b63dea3fe av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-bx2hqw-663082c346351a882e1efd3c65cfd167\">\n.iconbox.av-bx2hqw-663082c346351a882e1efd3c65cfd167 .iconbox_icon{\nbackground-color:#c42032;\n}\n<\/style>\n<article  class='iconbox iconbox_top av-bx2hqw-663082c346351a882e1efd3c65cfd167  avia-builder-el-5  el_before_av_iconlist  avia-builder-el-first  main_color'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: The Hartford\"><div class='iconbox_icon heading-color avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title=\"The Hartford\" desc=\"The Hartford\" ><\/div><h3 class='iconbox_content_title '  itemprop=\"headline\" ><a href='http:\/\/www.metlife.com' title='The Hartford'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" >The Hartford<\/a><\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"p1\">(860) 547-5000<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehartford.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.thehartford.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f\">\n#top .avia-icon-list-container.av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f .iconlist_icon{\ncolor:#ffffff;\nbackground-color:#c42032;\n}\n#top .avia-icon-list-container.av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f .iconlist_icon svg:first-child{\nstroke:#ffffff;\nfill:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-icon-list-container av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_icon_box  avia-builder-el-last '><ul class='avia-icon-list avia_animate_when_almost_visible avia-icon-list-left av-iconlist-big av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f avia-iconlist-animate'><li><div class='iconlist_icon av-4g6a3g-d99e4f3394dbd45ed5ed2f52364a863d avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue81f' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: CRITICAL ILLNESS PLAN INFORMATION\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >CRITICAL ILLNESS PLAN INFORMATION<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2766\/2025\/04\/Critical-Illness-3.0-Employee-Flyer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benefit Flyer<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2766\/2025\/05\/Howe-Independent-School-District_BHS_CI_OL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benefit Highlights Summary<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2766\/2025\/04\/AC-CI-HI-Health-Screening-Benefit-Flyer-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Health Screening Benefit Flyer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li><li><div class='iconlist_icon av-3wnh64-559ca5d498571e691380457a42b8427f avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue8ac' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: Mobile App\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Mobile App<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>With the My Health Hub mobile app, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>See your coverage &amp;
