This video, part of a series dealing with a variety of money-related matters, looks at critical illness insurance. With this type of insurance, an individual diagnosed with a serious illness covered by the policy will receive a one-time lump-sum payment designed to help cover the costs associated with the illness.

The narrator notes that other insurance policies, like life, group health, or disability, may still not cover all the expenses related to a life-altering illness. Critical illness insurance can fill that gap.
