What is Accident Insurance?

Accident insurance provides a financial cushion for life’s unexpected events. You can use it to help pay costs that aren’t covered by your medical plan. It provides you with a lump-sum payment —one convenient payment all at once — when you or your family need it most. The extra cash can help you focus on getting back on track, without worrying about finding the money to help cover the costs of treatment.

You get broad coverage
More than 150 events and services, such as fractures, 2nd & 3rd degree burns, and treatments resulting from an accident are covered.
Payments are made directly to you.
You decide how to spend the money: Pay for medical expenses not covered by your plan, like copays or deductibles, or for non-medical needs like household bills, childcare, or home modifications.
You won't be denied coverage
You and your eligible family members are guaranteed coverage, as long as you are actively at work.³ That means no medical exam and no hassle.
It’s less expensive than you may think.
Take advantage of employee rates when applying for coverage through your employer.
