Frequently Asked Questions
(For Illustration Purposes Only)
Who is eligible for this insurance? •You must be actively working (performing all normal duties of your job) at least 30 hours per week and be under age 80 •Your dependent(s) must be performing normal activities and not be confined (at home or in a hospital / care facility) and any child(ren) must be under age 26
Accident Coverage This insurance pays a benefit for each injury, treatment or service included in the policy that occurs as the result of a covered accident. For example, Jeff’s son, Jake, was playing soccer during recess at school. He was tripped and falls hard, injures his shoulder, and is transported by ambulance to the ER due to concerns of head trauma. The ER doctor orders a CT scan to check for any facial or head injuries and a shoulder X-ray. Jake was diagnosed with a concussion and a broken collarbone. His arm was set in a sling, and he was released to his pediatrician for follow-up care. Jake visits his pediatrician at two weeks and one month after the accident to make sure he’s healing well. In the meantime, Jeff starts receiving bills for the care Jake received. The ambulance bill alone was $556. He’s a pretty healthy kid, so a health insurance deductible of $1,500 had to be met before Jeff’s health insurance would begin covering Jake’s care, and after that, there’s a 20% copay. Accident benefits pay in addition to other insurance, and can be used to help cover gaps in health insurance or other expenses if the unexpected happens.
