Protect yourself from unexpected costs after a serious illness or medical procedure.
Critical illness insurance is a voluntary health protection plan provided through MetLife. It provides a lump sum cash benefit if you are diagnosed with a condition covered under the policy, such as cancer, a heart attack or stroke, or organ failure.
The cash benefit is in addition to any benefit you receive from your medical and other coverage, and you can spend the money in any way you’d like.
For example, you can use the money to help pay for groceries, car payments, out-of-pocket medical costs, rehabilitation, special dietary needs or anything else you need.
You can elect critical illness insurance for yourself and your dependents when you are newly eligible or during Benefits Annual Enrollment.
Although you do not need to be enrolled in DXC medical coverage to elect critical illness insurance, this is not a substitute for medical insurance.
