You can’t always avoid accidents — but you can help protect yourself from accident-related costs that can strain your budget. Accident insurance supplements your primary medical plan and disability programs by providing cash benefits in cases of accidental injuries. You can use this money to help pay for uncovered medical expenses, such as your deductible or Coinsurance, or for ongoing living expenses, such as your mortgage or rent. Benefits are paid in addition to other coverages you may have, such as medical or an AD&D plan.

A trip to the hospital can be stressful, and so can the bills. Even with a major medical plan, you may still be responsible for Copays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs. A hospital indemnity plan provides supplemental payments directly to you — unless assigned to someone else — that you can use to cover expenses that your medical plan doesn’t cover for hospital stays.
