Focus on recovery
APL’s Critical Illness insurance* can help you prepare for the financial impact you may face after a heart attack, stroke, invasive cancer or any other covered critical illness. Benefit funds can be used to pay unexpected medical bills or daily expenses to help you get back on your feet.
