UnumProvident ups disability cover.(Life)(Brief Article)

Best's Review, June, 2005 by Panko, Ron

UnumProvident has enhanced its critical illness and individual short-term disability insurance products. The CI product's base coverage pays benefits for heart attack, stroke, permanent paralysis, kidney failure, organ transplant or coronary-artery bypass surgery. The enhanced coverage pays an additional benefit upon diagnosis of cancer.

A new five-year benefit period tops the list of enhancements to the disability product. A new optional rider covers mental illness.
