"On 7/20/2023, I was informed by my OBGYN that I have cancer in my Uterus. At 43, my world felt like it suddenly stopped. I contacted my Washington National Agent and she assisted me with all the forms and understanding my policy. Within 5 business days, I received an email stating that Washington National issued me a check to assist me with my medical payments. Because of my policy I am able to focus on my health and recovery.
