Accidents Happen, why you should consider Accident Insurance

In 2018, there were 35 million injury-related emergency room visits.* Many people are not financially prepared for the unexpected costs of an injury to themselves or their family. Accident Insurance can help you focus on your recovery rather than on how you will pay for the care you need. Have you considered the following?

• Even a good medical plan can leave you with out-of-pocket expenses.† The financial impact of an accident is often surprising. From deductibles and co-pays to additional everyday expenses, it may push you off track financially.
• Accident Insurance pays regardless of what your medical plan may cover. An accident plan works to complement your major medical coverage. There’s no coordination of benefits with other coverages, so you get the full benefit provided by your Accident Insurance Plan.
• Coverage is guaranteed regardless of your health. There are no health questions to answer to enroll in the plan.
• You get a lump sum payment to use however you like—use it to help pay for medical deductibles, co-pays, or non-covered services. You can even use it for everyday expenses, like babysitters and take-out food, making your recovery a little easier.
• It’s quick and easy to use. You can submit claims online, by fax, over the phone, or mail.

Accident Insurance helps you manage expenses— so you can stay on track financially and recover at your own pace.
