Hey guys, looking for some info on critical illness insurance. I was diagnosed with stage 1b seminoma. I had left orchiectomy and going for one dose of carboplatin in a couple of weeks. Someone recommended I look to see if I have critical illness insurance and I noticed I have been paying a small amount each paycheck for this. Looks like it's through metlife. Anyone have any experience with this? Is TC typically covered? What does the payout look like? Any ideas? Thanks fellas...
