AIG Employee Benefit Solutions(R) Announces LIVESTRONG(TM) SurvivorPlan.

New supplemental insurance policy provides education, resources and benefits to advance wellness - plus support should a cancer diagnosis occur

HOUSTON -- AIG Employee Benefit Solutions([R]) announced today the launch of the LIVESTRONG[TM] SurvivorPlan, a distinctive supplemental insurance policy developed in partnership with the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The new policy provides participants the opportunity to connect with a broad array of resources designed to help them stay healthy and, should a cancer diagnosis arise, take control of their treatment. The policy is being offered to the employer market through AIG Employee Benefit Solutions and is underwritten by AIG Life Insurance Company, Wilmington, DE, and American International Life Assurance Company of New York, N.Y.

"In addition to giving employees educational and financial resources to help them live a healthy lifestyle today, the LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan also provides them with emotional and financial benefits in the event of a diagnosis," said John Penko, senior vice president of sales, AIG Employee Benefit Solutions. "This is a plan any employer can get behind to protect their employees."

In terms of keeping employees healthy, early detection is one of the keys. As such, the LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan provides an annual $100 screening benefit to cover a wide variety of early detection tests such as mammograms, colonoscopies, electrocardiograms and others.

For those employees or members of their family covered under the plan who receive a cancer diagnosis, the LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan provides them with immediate access to the outstanding support system of the Lance Armstrong Foundation and also delivers the financial support needed to stay focused on recovery.

"While most health insurance can cover the direct costs of a cancer diagnosis, out-of-pocket costs and other expenses place a tremendous financial burden on cancer survivors and their families," said Penko.

Loss of wages and salary, deductibles, coinsurance, travel expenses to and from treatment centers, lodging, meals and child care comprise about 63 percent of the total cost of cancer treatment.1

The LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan helps offset these costs, which are not often considered when dealing with cancer. Plus, all benefits are payable directly to the insured to use as they see fit. For some, this may mean a practical application of the funds to offset related medical expenses, while others may opt to use the funds to spend quality time with family. No one experiences cancer the same way, and the LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan enables policy owners the flexibility to use the financial benefit however they want.

"When most people think of insurance, they think of it as a benefit to families of a loved one who has died," said Doug Ulman, Lance Armstrong Foundation president. "The LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan is a living benefit, paid to the policyholder upon diagnosis to help them pay for the costs associated with their disease and hopeful recovery. It is intended for people living with cancer; people who are planning for survival and fighting the disease every day. We believe in helping survivors every step of the way, and that includes making smart financial decisions."

Other coverages provided by the LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan include, but are not limited to prolonged hospital stays, radiation/chemotherapy treatments, intensive care unit treatment, nursing services and hospice care, bone marrow transplants, second surgical opinions and National Cancer Institute evaluation/consultation.
