Which of the following types of health insurance policies pays a lump sum benefit for a specified illness?

Dread disease insurance Hospital indemnity insurance Disability income insurance Major medical insurance

Correct Answer:

Dread disease insurance

Explanation:

Dread disease insurance typically pays a lump sum benefit upon the diagnosis of a specific illness listed in the policy, such as cancer or a heart attack. This type of policy is designed to provide financial assistance to cover expenses associated with the specified illness. In contrast, hospital indemnity insurance pays a daily, weekly, or monthly benefit while the insured is confined in a hospital. Disability income insurance provides periodic payments to replace income lost due to a disabling injury or illness. Major medical insurance covers a significant portion of medical expenses after a deductible has been met.
