Accident Expense Plus

Making health insurance affordable

To cope with the skyrocketing cost of healthcare, many people have opted for policies with higher deductibles and co-pays. While that may lower premiums, it shifts the financial burden to you when you become injured or ill.

Accident Expense Plus is a smart, affordable supplement to your major medical coverage. It helps pay for deductibles, co-pays and other expenses that fall outside what your primary health insurance covers. The “plus” is our optional Critical Illness rider, and when you add this coverage you can receive a lump-sum benefit if you’re diagnosed with invasive cancer, heart attack or stroke.

The base accident expense coverage is offered to those between the ages of 18 and 64 – no questions asked. The Critical Illness rider availability is based on your answers to three simple health questions. What sets Accident Expense Plus apart from other accident coverage? You won’t have to coordinate your policy with any other coverage you may have.

Customer profile
Jason and Sara are a young couple with two very active kids. They are covered by employer-provided health insurance, but their premiums are high. Raising their deductibles would lower their premiums, but if they ever need insurance, the out-of-pocket expenses could wipe out what savings they have. By supplementing their primary policy with accident insurance offered through Accident Expense Plus, they can raise their deductibles, lower their premiums and preserve their long-term financial security.
