Chronic Illness Coverage That Stands Out
North American strives to offer life insurance that can bring more value and flexibility to your clients, including through our accelerated death benefit endorsement for chronic illness.1 But, what makes North American’s coverage different?
A chronic illness doesn’t have to be permanent2
- No receipts required
- Waived monthly deductions for the first $2,000,000 of the policy’s death benefit amount

1. Subject to eligibility requirements. An administrative fee is required at time of election for the Chronic or Terminal illness benefit. For permanent products, there is no administrative fee when the Critical Illness benefit is elected. The death benefit will be reduced by the amount of the death benefit accelerated. Since benefits are paid prior to death, a discount will be applied to the death benefit accelerated. As a result, the actual amount received will be less than the amount of the death benefit accelerated.
2. One is considered chronically ill if he or she is unable to perform, for at least 90 days, without substantial assistance from another person, at least two activities of Daily Living (bathing, continence, dressing, eating, toileting and transferring) or requires substantial supervision by another person to protect against threats to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment. Definitions for chronic illness may vary by state. Refer to your state specific accelerated death benefit endorsement form for complete information.
