Compare various types of insurances offered by Samos and across the industry.

Insurance is a complex space with many products that cover different costs, risks and outcomes in our lives.  While we all intend to be adequately covered in case of unfortunate events, we often wait until something urgent reminds us of a risk to act. Samos created Surgical Risk Insurance (SRI) to give confidence to those faced with the uncertainty of surgery.

SRI insurance is most closely related to two other common insurance products: Term Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D).  SRI can complement these types of insurance or provide additional coverage for those who may not be able to obtain either Term Life or AD&D either due to pre-existing conditions or timeline constraints.  It is always critical to consult with financial and insurance professionals when it comes to your health and financial security.


We’ve put together a summary of the most common types of insurance products.
