Accident Insurance is underwritten by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (Minneapolis, MN), a member of the Voya® family of companies. Voya Employee Benefits is a division of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company.

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:

• Ambulance ride
• Casts
• Use of the emergency room
• Wheelchairs
• Surgery
• Crutches
• Stitches
• Bandages

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. 

You, your spouse and eligible children qualify for this coverage.  

• All active employees (a minimum hours working per week requirement may be required).
• Your spouse*. Coverage is available only if employee coverage is elected.
• Your children— to age 26. Coverage is available only if employee coverage is elected.*

*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.

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.    

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. 

No, your rates will not increase due to age, health or individual claims.

No! Your Accident insurance is guaranteed issue, which means no medical questions or tests are required to enroll in this coverage. 

Once you’re enrolled in this coverage, you may qualify to receive benefits for items such as those listed below, as long as they are a result of a covered accident. Benefit types and amounts are determined by the type of plan selected, the circumstances of your accident and the care you receive. You may be required to seek care for your injury within a set amount of time.  Note that there are some variations by state.  For a complete description of your available benefits, exclusions and limitations, see your certificate of insurance and any riders.

*This option may not be included. Please review your certificate of coverage for details.
