Accident Insurance
Accident insurance provides a lump sum payment to help pay for expenses that medical insurance may not cover if you are injured in an accident.
Take comfort knowing you have financial support for accidents
When unexpected injuries lead to unexpected expenses, your accident insurance can provide money to help pay for expenses such as medical bills, transportation costs and childcare expenses.
- You’ll receive a lump sum payment to use as you see fit, paid directly to you
- The plan pays no matter what your medical insurance covers
- May cover accident-related events, such as: sports injuries, auto accidents, bicycle accidents, broken bones, knee injuries and falls
With group employee rates, you can get Accident Insurance coverage for less than the cost of your daily medium cup of coffee.1
Here's how it works:
Kathy’s daughter, Molly, plays soccer. During a recent game, Molly collided with an opposing player, was knocked unconscious and taken to the local emergency room (ER) by ambulance for treatment. The ER doctor diagnosed a concussion and a broken tooth. He also ordered a CT scan. After thorough evaluation, Molly was released to her primary care physician for follow-up treatment, and her dentist repaired her broken tooth with a crown. Luckily Kathy has accident insurance!
