How can this help me?
Most families don’t budget for the costs associated with accidents. When an accident does occur, the last thing on your mind is the charges accumulating while at the emergency room:
These costs can add up fast. Most families have medical insurance that will cover a majority of the expenses. But, what about the out-of-pocket medical expenses, such as lost wages an employee or spouse/domestic partner loses when out of work or staying home to care for an injured family member? You hope that an accident never happens, but at some point you very well may take a trip to your local emergency room. If that time comes, wouldn’t it be nice to have an insurance plan that pays you a benefit regardless of any other insurance you have? Accident insurance does just that, providing benefits to cover the costs associated with unexpected accidents.
Who is eligible?
You, your spouse and eligible children qualify for this coverage.
*The use of “spouse” means a person insured as a spouse as described in the certificate of insurance or rider. This may include domestic partners or civil union partners as defined by the group policy. Please contact your employer for more information.
When can I enroll?
As a new hire, you can enroll within your employer’s benefits eligibility guidelines. Outside of your new hire or a new life event period, enrollment is limited to the company’s annual enrollment. Please contact your employer for further details.
What if my employment status changes?
When you leave or retire from your current employer, you can continue your coverage without interruption, subject to applicable law and the policies' terms and conditions. Although payroll deduction will no longer be available if you retire or leave your company, you will receive information from the insurance carrier to continue your coverage.
