Terminal Illness – Hypothetical Case Study

After visiting her Doctor, Joan found out she had pancreatic cancer. She went to a leading Cancer Center and had her diagnosis confirmed

Joan could not work once treatment started and began going through her savings very rapidly.

Joan visited with her financial advisor to see what she could get if she surrendered the policy and found she could access a larger amount through the Accelerated Benefit Terminal Illness Rider

Joan exercised the rider in settlement of her policy

Page 26: Living Benefits Anico ABR presentation 080813a

Terminal Illness – Hypothetical Case Study

With this money, Joan was able to afford to continue her treatment and lived longer than expected

The money brought Joan hope that she could beat this devastating disease and become one of the few survivors

Although she did not survive the disease, she lived a longer and better life due to the assistance this living benefit provided her

Chronic Illness – Hypothetical Case Study

Karen became concerned as her husband Bill began experiencing forgetfulness and occasionally became confused. This condition worsened over time

They visited a doctor and learned that Bill had early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. As time passed, the disease became worse and Bill needed to stop working. Karen missed work taking care of Bill

This resulted in a loss of income and higher medical bills as Bill was being treated

Page 28: Living Benefits Anico ABR presentation 080813a

IMG8868 For Agent Use Only; Not for Use with the Public

Chronic Illness – Hypothetical Case Study

Bill and Karen quickly went through all of their savings and much of their retirement savings to pay for treatment

They met with their financial advisor to see what they had left

Bill had an ANICO life insurance policy with a face of $500,000 on his life

They talked to their advisor about surrendering the policy and were informed the policy had a living benefit that included Chronic Illness

They qualified and received a reduced lump sum acceleration benefit in settlement of the policy which helped pay for Bill’s treatment & caregivers which allowed Karen to return to work
