LifeShield’s Grand American Plan is supplemental insurance that is designed to fill the gaps in individual health insurance for individuals and families. The policy pays a lump-sum benefit for health care expenses resulting from a covered accident. This supplement insurance fills in the gaps that exist in traditional health insurance because of deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.

The policy benefits are paid directly to the named insured who can use those funds in any manner they choose such as:

  • Reimburse for health insurance deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance
  • Help with lost income when the insured misses time at work
  • Cover household and transportation expenses related to hospital stays

Supplemental Cancer Insurance

The LifeShield Cancer policy works similar to the accident policy in that it pays a lump sum benefit when an insured is diagnosed with cancer. The benefit can be used to supplement other insurance and serves to protect the insured financially.

Applicants have the option of adding several riders that will help pay for the many expenses related to a cancer diagnosis:

  • Benefit for annual Cancer screening
  • Benefits for daily hospital confinement
  • Benefits to help cover cancer treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy
  • Hospital intensive care expense benefit
  • Surgical expense benefit

Critical Illness Insurance

Lifeshield’s Critical Illness insurance was designed to fill the gaps in traditional health insurance when an insured is diagnosed with a covered critical illness. When diagnosed with a covered illness, the policyholder will receive a lump-sum payment to help with all the costs that are typically related to the illness.

LifeShield's Burial Insurance for Seniors

  • Once issued, the periodic premium cannot be increased by the insurance company, even if the insured becomes very ill and must live in a nursing home.
  • The Survivor Life policy builds cash value over time that can be accessed through policy loans, withdrawals, or policy surrender.

Face amounts for the Survivor Life policy range from $3,000 to $50,000 depending on the age of the applicant with the most popular face amount being $10,000.
